Rico has made a big difference to my game.  For over 20 years I’d had to manage around a strong draw that too often turned into a destructive hook.  Rounds heading for the 70’s turned into 80’s and I had become frustrated with my inconsistency.  Over the course of 5 lessons Rico has managed to more »

Like many semi-serious golfers, I suffer from the delusion that I can get better. But if I am being honest with myself, my handicap is right around the same number year after year. Until this year, where I started with a 10 index, went up to an 11 and I am now playing at a more »

A friend recommended Rico to me and set up a five series lesson package. I will say it was the best decision I could of made for my son and I. I now have a passion for the game and would play everyday if my schedule and body allowed! The reason I have this passion more »

I have known Rico for two years now. I was always hearing what a great teacher he is from several members at Glenmaura National Golf Club on a daily basis. At the age I am and playing golf for 30 years, keeping a ten handicap requires a lot of practice and occasional lesson. The problem more »

I started playing golf four years ago. Lessons from several different professionals left me with an erratic , lower power, slicing swing. Then I met Rico… over two seasons he has completely transformed my game. I have gained tremendous distance , especially with my irons and I regularly out-drive friends who have been playing golf more »

Rico I would like to say thank you for all the help you have given me throughout the past two summers. I am very happy that I chose to do your one-lesson-a-week package at Glenmaura. You were so consistent with your methods and pushed me to practice in order to improve my game. When I more »

As a low handicap golfer my only method of improving my game would be through regular golf lessons. Since meeting Rico I have been introduced to the latest golf instruction. I have been working with Rico this past year with his Flightscope launch monitor. This modern technology and instruction not only showed me what my more »

My three lessons with Rico this year has made me more competitive using his techniques on mental preparation and ball striking. He has helped me mentally slow down the pre-shot routine and concentrate only on the next shot. His greatest strength is not trying to take your swing and change it completely. He takes it more »

Rico Riciputi represents a new breed of golf instructors- someone that is very proficient in understanding the golf swing from a mechanical point of view and at the same time being trained in how the mind produces fluid motion in a swing. As an instructor in the Fluid Motion Factor program, he has a thorough more »

I have been looking forward to seeing you again this winter at The McCord Golf Academy at Orange Lake. Taking lessons with you last winter has really shown improvement my game this summer! Because your coaching was so simple to understand I am able to remember what to do to maintain good form in my more »

Thanks very much for a most productive day last week. I enjoyed the whole experience, the teaching and the video analysis was excellent and my swing became much more solid and reliable as the day progressed. I’m really looking  to coming back for some short game instruction. I’ve been playing since I was four and learned more »

Rico Riciputi is an excellent teacher. He has a way of simplifying his message. He does not try to teach more than one thing at a time. He understands that the golf swing involves both mind and body. I have recently begun to work with Rico and I have seen much improvement. I look forward more »

I cannot thank you enough for your kindness , patience and the best instruction I have ever received .You are absolutely terrific and I feel extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to have your help....

My two sons did a three lesson package with you. We were extremely pleased with how thing went. The boys learned a lot and look forward to taking the improved swings to the course...

I am sorry that I am so late in writing to thank you for the two great lessons that you gave me on Sat, Jan 21 and Sunday Jan 22. They helped me tremendously and enabled me to play well for the rest of my stay in Florida...

I have been playing golf for a long time and I have spent a good bit of money on golf, buying equipment, taking lessons, etc. The $100.00 I spent with you is the BEST golf investment I have ever made...

Just wanted to touch base with you and thank you. Those couple of lessons that I took from you totally improved my ball striking. So much so that I purchased a set of Titleist tour blades along with the D3 driver. I practice every day and it really has paid off...

I had only planned to take 1 lesson. You were correct to suggest a package. Coming off rotator cuff surgery, I needed a complete makeover. I now have confidence in the complete set of golf clubs. I am hitting the ball longer, straighter and higher. I have had several 9 hole rounds scoring 39 or more »
