Richard J. Nieto Owner/Operator of Nieto Custom Golf Clubs

For over 14 years I have been involved with the equipment end of Golf. Properly fit golf clubs have been a concern of mine since taking up the sport over 19 years ago. I have learned that much of the information about golf equipment coming from the major equipment manufacturers was greatly exaggerated. So I set out to educate myself on the function and form of each of the components of a golf club, how to build clubs properly, how to fit clubs, how to repair clubs and how to make needed alterations to them. To that end I attended schools such as the Dynacraft Clubmaking Institute and the Mitchell Golf Equipment Institute. To add credibility to my work I was certified by the Professional Clubmakers Society as a Certified “Class A” Clubmaker after successfully completing an extensive knowledge and practical test. To keep up to date with technology and the latest in equipment design I have attended clubmaker conventions. With the knowledge and experience I have gained over the years I know that I can improve your game.

Geoff Mangum, Putting Coach

I have been a student of Dave Geier of Golf: Inside & Out for 3 years now. I must say I have shown clear, steady and significant improvement in my golf game, the enjoyment of it, and also of the understanding of the complexities the game offers. I never played the sport when growing up and began being seriously interested in golf with Dave when I was 35 years old. Needless to say, my first 18 hole round in golf I scored a 127, and 3 years later my personal best low round was an 84.
 
Dave Geier's teaching methods are as sound I believe as you can find anywhere. If a student wants to maximize his or her results and enjoyment of golf then Golf: Inside & Out is for you. For me, in two or three years breaking 80 and possibly shooting in the mid 70's doesn't sound too far fetched with Dave Geier in your camp.

Sincerely,
John Klopp
