Experienced tutor in Golf in Paw Paw, Dan offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Dan Hansen started instructing me 13 years ago when I was almost a beginner (53 years old). I took 3-5 lessons with him per year and many short sessions throughout those winter months. He took me from a 28 handicap to a 15!! I attribute my great golf success to only him. I recommend him highly!!

I took several lessons from Dan Hanson, when I started I was abysmal. After a series of lessons with Dan I am much more consistent and if I pay attention to my set up I play much better. Dan is a very good teacher, he doesn’t overload with info but takes it one step at a time. I am very pleased with the results of my lessons with him. I wold and have recommended Dan to friends and family as a good teaching pro.

Quick analytical eye; ability to observe, discuss and, in short order, provide sensible corrective practice techniques…if you need them (Ha! Don’t we all need them). Like most recreational golfers, I’ve had a few stints with professional instruction but none clicked with me like my instruction with Dan has.

In the beginning of each season I would take a hour to an hour and a half lesson with Dan.He knows my strenghts and my physical constraints. (4 back surgeries and 3 shoulder surgeries). And every year we find a swing that allows me to play competitive golf. Dan is a excellent golf instructor who adapts his expertise to the individual’s capabilities.
There we times where I just lost my swing in mid season which is very common with amateur golfers and within 15 min. Dan saw the problem and we addressed it. Simple things like your grip , posture, open or closed stance, elbows flying. In fact because of what he has taught me I have become a much more consistent player but as important I have been able to share my knowledge and help my fellow golfers.The other strong point is that Dan Hansen is a damn good man, one who cares.

After playing at the game of golf for several years, I finally became dedicated to improving my game. Dan has worked with me over the past two year to improve everything about my game – set-up; swing plane; follow-through; and putting. Thanks to Dan’s limitless patience, communication skills, and technical knowledge, I enjoy the game more than ever! And when I have any trouble with a part of my game (e.g., short game) we have a tune-up lesson. I highly recommend Dan if you are an newcomer to the game, or an experience golfer!

I was a 63 year old who had never played golf when I met Dan. He taught me the fundamentals but, as importantly, helped me with the mental part of the game. The best part of the relationship was his willingness to allow me to come back for tweaks and adjustments. I am now a 14 handicap at age 76 and still remember with a smile many of the amusing things Dan said to me as I learned the game.
He is a good teacher with a quick wit and outstanding interpersonal skills. Obviously, I would recommend starting or LONG TIME players to use his talents.

First lesson I’ve ever had where I was taught about how and where the ball makes impact with the club. Understanding that part of the game helps the mental swing thought. The video and narrative analysis after the lesson is so helpful…I see concretely what I was being taught by the before and after shots. This visual really helps clarify what not to do and what to do!! Awesome lesson!

Dan: I wanted to thank you for your golf instruction, which has made the game much more enjoyable for me and results beyond my wildest expectations. My partner and I won our flight at The Invitational, I am in the semi-finals for both the Governors Cup (2 man team) and President’s Cup. I shot 41 on the back 9 (6 pars in a row) in my last Governors match. My goal now is to win both events. My putting confidence is through the roof as I rarely 3 putt. I cannot express my gratitude enough, as you have made the game fun again. Best, John
