"My son Matthew started attending classes/camps with Neil when he was 6-7 years old and he continues to benefit from his time with Neil and the other instructors at Thompson Golf Academy. We definitely appreciate all Neil, Jeff, Iain, and Grant have done to help Matthew improve his skills and more importantly enjoy playing the game of golf."

"My son Mark has really enjoyed his time with every instructor and has really improved at the game. If things change for us, you will be the first instructor that we will come looking for."

"I had struggled in the sand for 20 years and unsuccessfully tried everything to improve. Nothing worked. I met Neil at a business clinic that he did for our law firm. Neil showed me a drill with a board in a bunker and I have had no problems with bunkers ever since. For this reason and many others, Neil will be my friend for life. Neil is an outstanding golf instructor. He teaches my children, my clients, my business associates, and of course, me. He has been a part of some of our best received client outings – on course lessons and clinics. Our community is fortunate that Neil made his home here from across the Pond."
