Not only was Alex precise in understanding what I was doing but within minutes of watching me swing he offered suggestions that made for much better contact with the ball and was really clear in describing what I needed to do. I enjoyed a two day golf school with Alex Calcaterra over the Thanksgiving weekend. Overall, this was a terrific experience and once I absorb Steve's lessons, I could drop my handicap even more. There are many activities other than golf at the resort, such as tennis, swimming, boating, exercise classes, massage, etc. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They are scheduled to all be renovated over the next year and then should be great. The rooms are out of date but serviceable. The new owners are putting a lot of work into the place and it shows. I got about 20 hours of instruction in three days and enjoyed all of it! As for the Sandpiper Bay Resort, ignore the negative reviews from the past. We went out on the course, where he gave me course management advice and worked on my swing some more. He took many videos to give me so that I can remember what I learned. He was patient when I got frustrated at trying to learn something new. The golf instructor, Steve, did an excellent job of breaking down my swing and correcting my faults.
