“I didn’t start playing golf until I was an adult and took lessons over time from several teachers. My swing and my game didn’t improve much. I heard about Rich when he was the coach at Batavia High School and thought, if he can teach kids he can probably teach me. I was right, Rich is a natural teacher. If I can’t learn something, he has a number of ways to present and approach it until I get it. And he makes it fun! His teaching style is effective and he is terrific at building his students’ self-confidence.” - Nancy Cashen "Rich Flores is both a charismatic and knowledgeable instructor. His ability to teach all aspects of the game makes learning golf fun and enjoyable. His development of my golf swing has allowed me to the collegiate player that I am today." – Kim I was ready to quit playing golf when I came to Rich for help. I was beyond frustrated. With his help, I have dropped my handicap by 10 points. Quite simply, Rich made golf fun for me. Wanting to give my daughters an opportunity to learn golf at a young age, I turned to Rich again. He has a real talent for teaching golf in a way that resonates with each student, regardless of their level. Combining that with a genuine interest in their lives, he has become a part of the family. – David Flatt During my years of high school, I took weekly lessons from Rich Flores during the high school golf season. My freshman year I made the JV Girl's Golf Team at St. Charles North High School. My average for 18 holes was above 100. I was happy with making the team, but I wanted to lower my scores, so I continued taking lessons. The next year I made the Varsity team and was happy as my average started to fall and I was consistently breaking that 100 mark. Rich has a great eye for the golf swing and my game continued to improve. I found that I was able to learn and improve my game because his lessons were fun and were more than just hitting balls down the range. He really cares about his students and is happy when they succeed. It wasn't until I began taking lessons at Rich's Swing Shop in the off-season that I saw a drastic improvement in my golf swing. He has state of the art equipment which he uses to completely depict your golf swing and make improvements. My swing transformed from an amateur-like to professional-looking in just a couple months. He has tools to help promote muscle memory and shows you drills to help overcome whatever problem you are facing with an imperfect swing. The next season, my average held steady in the high 80's! Over a 10-shot improvement in my average by simply taking lessons over the winter with Rich! He then encouraged me to start looking for colleges to play for because my scores were now competitive to play at that level. I continued taking weekly lessons at Rich's Swing Shop along with several other members of the SCN Girl's Golf Team. My senior year, my average was in the low 80s and my team had the opportunity to represent our school at the IHSA Girls Golf State Tournament for the first time. We played well enough to place Runner-Up (2nd place)! 5 out of the 6 girls that were on varsity all took lessons from Rich. The way that I had improved so much from when I was a freshman was almost all nearly because of how Rich helped me. I earned a scholarship to play for the Southern Illinois University Salukis the next year and had four great competitive seasons with highlights, including my stroke average in the 70s and a Missouri Valley Conference Championship title. Although SIU was nearly six hours away from Chicagoland, I made sure that I got a lesson at Rich's Swing Shop every time I came home for breaks. I can attribute most of my success in golf because of Rich Flores and his enthusiasm towards the golf game. If you want to improve your swing and your overall golf game, Rich's Swing Shop is the place to go! “If you want to improve your swing and your overall golf game, Rich's Swing Shop is the place to go!
