Clients reviews about EJS Golf - Coach Erik | Scottsdale Golf Lessons

Erik is absolutely incredible! I took lessons from him and he is the most knowledgeable person I have ever met in my life regarding the golf swing. Not only does he know everything, he backs it up by technology and science to give me the highest value lesson I have ever experienced. I felt like a vip from the beginning when he picked me up on the golf cart at the parking lot and took be around the back of the driving range to his private instruction bay. He has all the cameras and equipment to monitor my swing and in a very short time, the principles he taught me added 20 yards to my shot, and not just my drive, but all my clubs. If you are serious about improving in golf there is no one better than Erik. I would give him 6 stars if I could. ~ Preston W

I had a private lesson with Eric last year and it was very helpful. He took a lot of time and was patient with his instruction. I appreciated the technology he used (videos etc) where I could see step by step my posture, technique, swing, etc. It was helpful to watch myself swing and also hear his instruction each step of the way. I came away with learning what areas I did well and other areas I needed to work on. I joined his women’s league and really enjoyed myself. It is a casual, learning league, meeting new, wonderful women who just want to get out and practice as well. Nine holes was perfect for me and it got me out on the beautiful course to practice. Life got busy with my daughter’s wedding and then an elbow injury, but I’d like to get back to the league very soon! ~ Nancy H

I did Erik's virtual lesson program for 6 months. I had played golf sporadically for many years before and wasn't terrible (compared to my usual playing partners), but had never had a golf lesson and was eager to get better. Erik's program was perfect for me. He laid out a very clear process for improvement, focusing on intentional, short practice sessions every day. He reviewed videos I sent him every week and gave me lots of helpful drills and explanations for how they would improve my swing. By the end of the program, my swing felt great and I saw immediate results -- my scores dropped by about 10 strokes! The best part is that I have all of the knowledge I need to keep my swing maintained myself now. So glad I did this program! ~ Brett L

I knew I needed a golf pro to help me become a more consistent player but was hesitant because of previous experiences where I felt I left the lessons with very little understanding of the mechanics of my swing or exactly how to self-correct when on the course. Luckily, I found Erik because he understands the game so deeply and also takes the time to analyze how to help you improve without changing everything in the process. He focuses on just one thing at a time, so I build the confidence and momentum to increase my consistency. I highly recommend Erik because he is an excellent golf pro and an even better human being. He cares deeply about helping his clients develop as players so they can enjoy the game and have fun. ~ Else J

I’ve worked with Erik for about 3.5 months now. Best coach I have ever worked with. His teaching goes beyond the golf swing and he genuinely cares about his students. The value you get from a lesson with Erik is unmatched as he follows each lesson with an analysis video and shows what you need to work on in detail. His emphasis on practicing the right way and repetition has changed my game for the better. Through Erik, I went from being very frustrated with the game of golf to being a loving student of the game. Erik is an overall great person and never hesitates to answer any questions you may have. His patience and encouragement as a coach is incomparable. ~ Tyler D

Erik coaches our daughter and he has proven himself to be a true professional in all aspects of the game. Erik continuously goes the extra mile to ensure that his students understand their game and how to improve. He makes himself available for questions and additional last minute lessons. His knowledge of the game and ability to quickly identify what may need a tweak is amazing. Erik's words are always encouraging. He is very patient willing to explain the same concept in different ways to ensure complete understanding by the student. I highly recommend Erik as a coach and we could not be happier with the job he has done with our daughter. ~ mary r

I am a low single digit golfer and have had some instruction in the past including golftec. While I did learn from these places getting instruction from Erik has been above and beyond. He explains information in a way that is easy to digest and uses a lot of great visual aids that reinforce what he teaches. His post-lesson follow up is also something that is next level and helps even more. I really enjoy the technical aspect and how much golf knowledge he has as well as the passion he shows in wanting to help me have a better swing. I think anyone who gets lessons will quickly improve as a player and that Erik is a great coach and an even better person ~ Chad G

I had the pleasure of working with Erik Schjolberg for the past 3 months, and I can confidently say that I've seen a significant improvement in my golf swing. I’m relatively new to golf so when I first started, I was struggling quite a bit, but Erik was incredibly patient and encouraging throughout the process. He helped me identify areas for improvement and tailored instructions to my specific needs. Erik emphasized the importance of practice and repetition, but also made sure to mix things up and keep it interesting. His feedback and pointers helped me make gradual progress over time. By the end of our sessions, I felt much more confident in my ability to hit the ball consistently and accurately. Overall, I would highly recommend Erik at EJS to anyone looking to improve their golf game. He’s a skilled instructor who clearly cares about his students progress and success ~ Bilal A

Erik has been coaching my daughter for the past six months. She’s a junior golfer who has been playing for several years, but had some swing issues. We selected Erik because he uses an app for communicating with both the player and parent. He recaps what to practice on after every lesson so everyone (player, parent, coach) are on the same page. He uses Trackman to give instant feedback which my daughter likes a lot. Most importantly, he is amazing with juniors and patient as she probably took a bit longer than we hoped to correct her swing. Her swing looks so much better now and her confidence in her game is returning. I highly recommend Erik as a coach especially for junior golfers. ~ Erik M

Eric is the best! and that is not an exaggeration. There has not been a single lesson where I haven't walked out and felt like a far better golfer than before. What can't be praised enough is the effort and dedication that Eric puts into each of his students, as his approach to fixing and improving my golf swing was specific to me. While teaching, Eric takes the extra time to truly dive into what he is trying to convey rather than just telling you, allowing for a better understanding. Beyond the instruction at the course, Eric sends specific drills to you from an app that allows for slow motion replays, letting you break down everything and work on your game at any time. I genuinely mean it when I say that I would recommend Eric to anyone wanting to improve their golf game, as he is not only a top not instructor but also a top notch person who cares about his students. ~ Brennan K

So far through my lessons with Erik through Skillest, I've been really impressed with Erik and his feedback. You can tell that he is very passionate about helping his students and that he has a immense knowledge of the game as well as a thirst to learn more. I am always impressed with how thorough his reviews are, with most of them being several minutes long with really in-depth feedback. To boot, his response time is very fast and he is always timely with his messages. Overall, I have really enjoyed working with Erik so far and I appreciate that he genuinely cares about improving my golf game and providing the motivation needed to get better. ~ Robert W

Erik made my first golf instruction experience enjoyable and fruitful! He broke corrections in my swing down into bite-size pieces I can easily digest as a new golfer. I left with an immediate and dramatic improvement in my swing! He sent me home with simple exercises I can do to help solidify my newly learned habits and even sent videos of the important parts of the lesson for me to reference when I forget. I am looking forward to my future lessons and highly recommend Erik! The skills and professionalism he brings to the table are appreciated and what I imagine anyone paying for lessons would be grateful for. Thanks, Erik! ~ Donja C

Erik has been such a huge help for me and my delve into golfing. After experiencing constant frustrations in trying to develop a "good" golf swing on my own, which I realized was close to impossible, I've started to see great progress in a short amount of time with his guidance. Erik's passion for golf and for coaching others is very apparent upon first meeting with him. I look forward to every session as I know he will be intentional and I will see improvements. He is a great guy and a great coach. I can't recommend him enough to anyone looking to learn or improve their golf. ~ joey g

I've taken multiple private lessons with Erik and he's been by far the best swing coach I have ever worked with. He has the ability to dissect your swing and make small changes for big improvements. What I love most about his lessons is they go far beyond the 1 or 2 hours you're with him. He follows up with videos of how you can improve at home and on the range. The value he provides is absolutely worth the cost of his sessions. I would recommend any golfer at any level who truly wants to get better to go see Erik. ~ Reanol H

Erik, thank you. I would not be where I am as a golfer without your guidance and instruction. I had 2 choices to make this last summer after some 60 years as a player...One: Quit golf. Yeah right, I'm not a quitter so that wasn't going to happen. Two: Seek improvement through a professional. I choose the second option and that lead me to you. Again thank you for getting me to believe again and your friendship. With your guidance I will be back as a single digit handicapper again in the near future. I look forward to our upcoming sessions. NMP ~ Ned P

Erik has been great. I’ve played golf for 40 years and coach my 14 year old son who is a solid junior golfer. Erik has helped my son directly and helped me coach him and has also helped my game (10 handicap). Erik is very insightful, explains things well, backs it up with skilled video assessments, and helps build a good swing by introducing one small change at a time. I’ve seen a few coaches over the years. Erik is well worth the money. Highly recommended. ~ J G

I want to thank Erik for the help on my swing. I was in Scottsdale on a short vacation and thought I would see if a lesson could help me with my swing back. After going through some drills with Erik by the end of my lesson I was taking shots with my driver that were a 40 yard improvement from the start of my lesson! Now I have the work to translate that to the golf course here at home after the snow melts :) ~ M K

Erik is a fantastic coach. He is first off very knowledgeable when it comes to anything golf related and has great solutions and drills when it comes to fixing errors in a swing. Erik cares for his students and wants them to play well and succeed in their golf game. I am truly grateful that I found Erik as a coach. He has helped me improved my golf game in a matter of weeks when i began working with him. ~ alexa

Taking lessons with Erik has been an incredible experience. His expertise, patience, and ability to break down complex techniques have truly improved my game. Each lesson is personalized, focused, and fun, making the learning process enjoyable and effective. I’ve seen noticeable progress in my swing, accuracy, and overall confidence on the course. I highly recommend Erik to anyone looking to elevate their golf skills!” ~ Jennifer L

Erik is the kind of coach you wish you had discovered sooner in your golfing journey. I've seen him in person and remotely, and both add value in their ways. Sometimes, it's a simple tweak - like his voodoo-like preshot routine to hit a draw on command (no joke!). Other times, it's a series of drills I can work on even when not at the golf course to work a new improvement into my game. Recommend. ~ Gar C

As an instructor, Erik is committed to your success. He is quick to analyze how to help you and is consistent in his approach and drills to get the desired result. You will be confident about your chipping, putting, and long game. He worked with my on my over the top swing and chipping. I can now determine on my own what went wrong with my swing and correct it the next time. My distance has also improved. ~ Ardell B

Coach Eric is a tremendous asset for my teenage son. He refused to give up on him even though my sons golf skills were very limited. Over the year he has worked with my son to build his confidence & increase his skill. He is not only a dedicated golf professional but a patient mentor for him. I highly recommend coach Eric to all looking for a talented, dedicated Golf pro who truly cares about your growth and betterment as a golfer. ~ Kim M

I started playing golf at work with friends so for my birthday a friend purchased golf lessons with Erik for me! I was incredibly nervous the first time I went to take a lesson as I had no knowledge at all. But Erik does a fantastic job as breaking things down to a level that’s easy to understand. Now I look forward to going to my lesson & my golf swing looks 10x better after only 3 lessons. ~ Emily G

This was me and my fiancé’s first time taking golf lessons and Coach Erik was great! He has a really nice set up on the range with a trackman and video replay which allows us to see exactly what we did wrong on each swing. Coach Erik is very knowledgeable and completely changed the way me and my fiancé think about our golf swings, we are already seeing results! ~ Nick M
