I have had lessons before from four different instructors. Never before have I had one who understood the game of golf in its entirety as well as Nick McKinlay. It took just one lesson for me to figure out that I had found something special. He took the time to get to know my game as an individual and worked to improve my own swing rather than trying to fit me into a mechanical robotic swing. He helped me in every aspect from bunker play to a full playing lesson. I didn't think I could find anything better until Nick teamed up with Billy Casper. I had the wonderful opportunity to spend part of a day at the Billy Casper Golf Academy. The equipment and technology at the facility really impressed me. I've never seen anything like it. Billy himself took the time to teach me invaluable short game and full swing lessons. I had met him once before at a book signing and he remembered me and made me instantly feel important to him at the golf academy. He was genuinely interested in my personal game and where I wanted to improve and proceeded to address my areas of weakness. Time never seemed to be a concern for him. His stories were great and he was bound and determined to see me improve. Billy's son, Byron, was there as well. His knowledge of the golf clubs and the technological side of golf was astounding. I could have talked to him for hours about it. Even more impressive is without any asking he stepped in after my lessons and gave me a quick wedge tip that I use to this day. His passion for the game of golf shines through in everything he does. In the end I left feeling like I had new friends in the golf world who have an amazing amount of golf knowledge and more importantly know how to convey that knowledge in a way that was logical and easy for me to understand. Thank you! I'll continue to come back!

I took a half-day of lessons and it was so FUN! I learned so much about a swing and was able to pinpoint issues with my own. I still need a lot practice, but the lesson was worth EVERY second. Nick was so nice and patient. He answered every question and I didn't feel rushed at any moment. I would highly recommend lessons and I hope to be back. Thanks Nick and the Billy Casper Golf Academy!

Having used the academy for approximately a year I cannot speak highly enough about the superb instruction I have received. Nick McKinlay is a wonderful positive instructor who helps you maximize your potential regardless of age or physical limitations. He helps identify the root causes of your issues and by fixing those base issues you often correct multiple problems within the golf swing. He focuses on getting you to simplify your golf swing with minimal moving parts to produce a consistent swing that you can trust when under stress on the course. I always leave the sessions with Nick with things I can work on but also happy with the progress made. I feel more positive about my potential for improving my golf game.

Spent an afternoon at the academy with Nick McKinlay, the teaching golf pro, and had a great time. I was impressed that he didn't try to make great changes in my swing etc., but offered suggestions on small things I could do to improve. (maybe you can't teach an old dog new tricks). I had never had the technology before to photograph and analyze my swing, measure the distance and direction of the ball with each club and found that useful. The beautiful weather and surroundings also added to the experience.

I attended a half day session at the Billy Casper Golf Academy as an assignment for Fairways Magazine. Having played an informal round with Casper recently, I was specifically interested how the academy would be conducted in the spirit of Casper, a legend known for his personal touch. I was not disappointed. Taking a session with Nick McKinlay, I found his approach both appealing, informative and effective. I was impressed with the technology used to break down and educate me about flaws in my swing. McKinlay gave me just enough things to work on that I was not overwhelmed. He sought out every angle he could to help me, including finding out the best way I learn -- a visual learner all the way. The most helpful aspect of the session was was his tips on putting. But with a myriad of swing fixes, I appreciated his approach in explaining why the fundamental tip works and how it could ultimately cut strokes off my game. If you are looking for a friendly, easy way to absorb golf swing tips, this is your place. No ego, only eagerness to help and support. I've been to places that overwhelm and confuse. This is not that place.
