What golfers say about working with me
The strongest reviews repeat the same themes: Don takes the time, explains the why, uses data, teaches before fitting, and does not pressure golfers into buying equipment they do not need.
“Could not recommend more. Don is not your average fitter/coach. He takes the time, not 30mins, not an hour, he takes the time you need to get what you need. I went for a putter fitting. It begins by seeing his state of the art setup. He then breaks the ice and makes you feel comfortable in the space. During all of this, he's getting info from me to help him along the process. Then we get into the nitty gritty. Regardless of your handicap I couldn't recommend more. He gave me a putting lesson which set me up for much more success with my current gamer. From there he got my numbers and he was ready and willing to make the adjustments on my gamer rather than try and sell me something. I want to sell my gamer as is, and he respected that. I got to ask lots of questions and try out many things so that I was comfortable and confident with the results of my fitting. The proof was always there though. The numbers he got an hour in were the numbers I left with. And I feel wholeheartedly confident that they're correct because I had the opportunity to rule everything else out. TL/DR He's not a salesman. He's an artist. You are his canvas. You won't leave disappointed. Thanks Don, for your time and patience. And most importantly, a putter I can trust!”
“Had an incredible club fitting experience with Don! He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and made the entire process enjoyable from start to finish. Don took the time to understand my swing, walk me through the data, and explain how different setups would affect my performance. I never felt rushed, and he genuinely cared about helping me find the right fit—not just pushing the latest gear. By the end of the session, I left with full confidence in my setup and noticed immediate improvements in distance, accuracy, and consistency. If you’re serious about improving your game, I can’t recommend Don enough. A true professional who knows his stuff and makes you feel like you’re in good hands.”
“Don provides lessons unlike anyone else. I've been to 8 other instructors in the area and I always felt like they put a band aid on my swing and it wasn't long before I ended up going back to making the same mistakes. That's not what Don does at all. His chapter based philosophy breaks down the swing from the ground up so you don't create bad habits or techniques that affect you later down the road. He works with everyone from tour players to newbies and does a great job explaining things so it's easy to understand so you can reiterate it later on the range. One of the best parts about Don's lessons is that they aren't based on a 30-60 minute quick fix. Instead, he works with you for a few hours to make sure you understand things and the concepts are solidified before you leave. He truly wants you to have a game that lasts a lifetime. I will be going back 100%.”

Golf Lesson Reviews
Reviews from beginners, serious players, women golfers and players who wanted clearer explanations instead of quick-fix swing tips.
“I started playing golf 3 months ago, and I genuinely wish I had called Don to schedule a lesson on day 1! But when I did call to schedule the lesson, he made it very easy to get seen the next day. Don made everything easy to understand and completely judgment-free. He was also incredibly knowledgeable - All he needed was to see my swing 5 times before he had me do some drills that highlighted the bad habits I picked up from learning golf on my own, and then how to fix them. Golf is extremely difficult...but if you want to learn from someone who knows their stuff, has a great mentality around playing, and is going to give you all the tools to improve your game - I could not recommend PFG Clubs more.”
“I’ve had 2 lessons with Don in the last month. I was skeptical about going to a guys house with a garage setup, but man he is legit. Garage setup is one you wish you had yourself that’s for sure. Complete system with monitors. I’m a 9 Handicap and couldn’t figure out why I’m hitting off the hosel. Don had me hitting better within no time. I’m hitting everything 10-20yds farther now too with some adjustments in my down swing. If you need club fittings, beginner to expert lessons, grips, shafts etc he can do it all! Thanks Don!!! -Tyler Z (Played yesterday for the first time in months and drove a 285yd green with my 3 wood)”
“Don is great. With his experience he knew what I needed to work on right away. I’ve already started playing a tad better after 1 lesson. I will be back to get better. Highly recommend for all levels of golfer.”
“Don is truly one of a kind! My fiancée took her first golf lesson with him and his easy going yet professional nature made it a fantastic experience. He is deeply knowledgeable and a fantastic coach who I would recommend to anyone looking for lessons in North San Diego County. He treated us like family rather than someone just looking to make money.”
“Don helped me figure out what is wrong with my basic swing and has put me on a path to work through it. An amazing studio with incredible tech, kind (but firm) analysis and direction, with NO sales pressure. All at 1/3rd of going rates. Go meet Don. You will not be disappointed.”
“As a women looking to improve her golf game, I was super impressed with how Don makes everything he teaches you very relatable. Not only is the price per lesson amazing value, I left my lesson really understanding and seeing how I can improve and what I need to keep working on before my next lesson.”

Club Fitting Reviews
Reviews from golfers who wanted more than a basic retail fitting: data, explanation, swing context, shaft/head testing and a clear recommendation.
“TLDR; if you think your game can be improved by custom fitting your bag, you're right. Trust in Don. Full Review: I'm three months back into golf after an 8 year layoff. Two weeks ago, my bag consisted of custom fitted PW-4 irons that were only a couple years old before the layoff (10 years in golf technology years) along with driver, woods, hybrid and wedges that were cobbled together over the previous 15 years through winning tournament raffles and buying the current next best club every so often. I contacted Don not because I thought I needed new clubs, but because I thought maybe he could make sure what I thought were perfectly fine clubs fit my updated swing and older body. It didn't take long after warming up in his state of the art indoor simulator setup to think differently. Trust in Don. After I hit a few balls on camera, Don had enough info to give me an in depth video and metric based assessment of my swing. Then he started setting up and handing me club head and shaft combinations to try out. Within minutes, I had gained a club to a club and a half length just due to new technology and having the right shaft/iron combination for my swing. Trust in Don. This past weekend, I played a brand new bag. Full irons and wedges, all with far greater feel and distance combinations than my previous clubs and properly gapped. New fairway woods that pretty much hit themselves, only a lot farther than you'd expect. Trust in Don. The driver is still a work in progress. I was having a hard time hitting it in the simulator (suffering from ISS - indoor simulator syndrome), so Don sent it home with me to play with on the course. Based on my post-round feedback, he's special ordered what he thinks is the right shaft to get my spin rate where it needs to be. And if that one doesn't do it, he'll keep trying (his words, not mine). Even without the "right" shaft, I picked up 20-25 yards in head technology. Trust in Don. Normally when you take a whole new bag of clubs out for a round, you'd expect to need some time to dial them in. In fact, I was so concerned about having a crappy round due to my new sticks, I thought about not playing them until I got some range sessions in. Needless concern after Don fits you. Instead, expect comments from your buddies about how long and accurate you're hitting and how much you must be paying your new swing coach. Trust in Don. Don's a stickler about making sure everything is dialed in and has the knowledge, equipment and golf sense to back it up. When I head over to have the new driver shaft installed, I'll also book time to fit the most used club in my bag, my putter. Trust in Don.”
“This place and Don are awesome. If you're looking for a top tier golf instructor for lessons or for a custom club fitting this is the only place you should go. I've been to GolfTec and Club Champion in the past for a custom fitting and felt like I got cookie cutter treatment and was thrown into the shaft they had available and whatever big box brand they favored. I never feel like I actually got custom fit. This is NOT the case with Don. My wedge fitting lasted 3 hours and was filled with lessons, drills, trial and error and lots of measurements. Don measured all of my current clubs and checked swingweights to ensure my set was efficient and that the wedges would transition nicely. I never felt rushed. Don never tried to sell me anything. Ive never heard of a 3 hour-lesson filled club fitting before but this is Don's standard. He also works out of his house which might seem like a negative to some at first but this couldn't be a better experience. He has an unbelievable putting green and chipping area, better than most golf stores and top of the line GC Quad, lasers, shaft options, grip options, loft and lie machines, etc... Just incredible. I couldn't recommend this experience more highly. Can't wait to pick up my new Edel wedges in a week or so.”
“Don was fantastic! Fitting experience was way beyond a normal fitting. Because Don knows his stuff, he’s able to actually give solid golf advice to help you understand the proper fitting, instead of just fitting into a flawed swing, process. Really enjoyed our experience and will be back for future fittings!”
“Don at Perfectly Fit Golf does a tremendous job. It’s evident from the get go that he knows his stuff, he has all of the technology to accurately assess your swing, and works collaboratively with you to identify the best fit. He’s extremely personable, professional and makes the fitting process fun.”
“This was an incredible experience. Don was extremely knowledgeable with great energy. He did a great job explaining things, answering all questions and using the equipment individualized to my swing to make sure I have the proper tools to maximize my golf game. An incredible value for the money , time and expertise. Will be coming back and referring my friends.”
“Don fit me into a good set of clubs, and even gave me a few swing fixes while I was there. Would recommend to others.”

Putter Fitting & L.A.B. Golf Reviews
Reviews from golfers fit for putters, L.A.B. Golf putters, DF3/DF2 style technology, and putting setup help before fitting decisions.
“I have to say that Don is an incredible instructor! I was in the market for a new putter when I came across his business - Perfectly Fit Golf Clubs. Even though his set up is at his residence, it is WAY better than going to the box stores. For one I didn’t feel any pressure from sharing a hitting bay or any other distractions. Don first checked on my posture and putting stroke and gave me advice on the proper technique. He then introduced me to different putters based on the data he collected. Overall, the experience was professional and friendly. I highly recommend giving Don a call for a fitting. I know that I will be back for the rest of my club fittings and lessons. When my fitting was over, Don helped me place my order for my new LAB putter.”
“LAB listed Don as a fitter for their putters, and I’m very glad they did! Not knowing him or his company, I didn’t know what to expect. What I got was far more than just a fitting! Not only did Don fit me for the new putter, but he also took time to get my current putter dialed for me and gave me some great tips on my putting set-up and stroke. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and personable. I will definitely be getting fitted for my next set of clubs with him.”
“I was recommended to visit Don at Perfectly Fit for a putter fitting by the guys at Edel Golf during my visit to California. Don broke down the movements which are essential to producing the most efficient putting stroke, combined that information with my unique physical attributes and helped me to choose a putter. I feel confident that my fitting with Don has significantly improved my abilities as a golfer and look forward to cashing some checks with the help of my new DF2.0 from Lab Golf. Easy 10% to Don, Mahalos!”
“Getting fit for my LAB putter by Don was an absolute pleasure. He’s a professional club fitter, not a salesman pushing a product. He was even kind enough to let me try his simulator for an impromptu lesson. I have had the putter for many months now and it’s as great as the maker claims. I also have scheduled an overall lesson with Don”
“Thanks for the help Don! I’m super happy with my new DF3 putter and some new tips to work on!”
“Don is amazing at helping my junior competitive golfers with their putting needs and provided professional support in fitting our LAB Golf putters. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of putting assistance.”

Golf Club Work, Regripping, Reshafting & Repair Reviews
Reviews connected to club work, reshafting, golf shop services, equipment help and the trust golfers have in Don’s hands-on build and repair work.
“I recently had the pleasure of working with Don for a clubfitting and reshafting service, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Don was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, taking the time to not only address the reshafting but also diagnose some of the misses I was experiencing with my irons. He went above and beyond by investigating my ball flight issues, making me feel comfortable throughout the process. His attention to detail is unmatched, and it’s clear that he takes his work very seriously. The service was fast, clean, and neat, leaving me with complete confidence in his expertise. I will definitely be returning to Don for any future golf club services, and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of professional, high-quality club work.”
“Don fitted me for a Lab putter that I absolutely love. I then came back and got fitted for some new Edel wedges that I also love. I am now taking golf lessons regularly from him. His facility is top notch. From his 4k golf simulator to the fact that he has an array of different golf balls for his students to be able to take a lesson with the ball they play.”
“Whether you're looking for equipment that better suits you or an instructor to steer you in the right direction, this is the perfect place to go. Don is extremely knowledgable about all things golf related and is genuinely interested in helping you improve your game. His studio is professional quality, with equivalent or superior technology to other fitters or instructors who will charge you a higher price for a lower quality service. I have watched countless instructional golf YouTube videos and wasted hours upon end at the range going in circles compensating for bad habits I've developed in my swing. Two hours with Don has saved me months worth of headache and was a worthwhile investment in my golf game.”
“Don really exceeded any expectations coming in. He is so professional, highly skilled in fitting, and has a breadth of knowledge of the game. I highly recommend using his services.”
“Don gives a complete and thorough fitting. Great to work with. A true professional.”
“Don provides an excellent and convenient service. The pricing is very competitive and Don delivers a passion that is second to none.”
