I am a 10 handicap and my 13 year old son is a 27 handicap. This winter we have taken 10 1/2 hour lessons each with Charles Veeder. I cannot believe how many basic things we were doing wrong. After our lessons our swings look much improved as seeing our swings on video is a great help. I am confident it is going to take strokes off our games as we are hitting the ball more consistently, straighter and farther. Chuck is a great teacher. Chuck quickly analyzes your swing, shows you what you are doing wrong and how to fix it. We cannot wait for the snow to disappear and test what we have learned on the golf course. We are very excited about having a great year golfing and seeing much improved scores because our swings are so much improved. Thanks.

It was a great time working with you and your son and being able to see the improvement. I am happy to hear you are looking forward to the season.

I wanted to thank Chuck Veeder for helping me improve my golf game. I had been frustrated by a lifelong slice and decreasing distance. I took some winter lessons from Chuck and have really seen improvement. Things he helped me improve were: Cured my slice. Got my swing in the right position so I could swing from the inside to get rid of my slice. Improved my swing speed and distance. Importance of better posture for my swing getting my legs, back, hips, and arms in sync. Better grip positioning to stop strangling the club. So as a 55 year old golfer it was great to see that I could still improve my game. Thanks again for all your help. Sincerely - T. Henderson

I met Chuck through Malta Continuing Education classes last year and found Chuck to be an excellent golf instructor exhibiting both professionalism and broad knowledge of the game of golf. The classes proved to be easy to understand and easy to incorporate into practice routines and actual rounds of golf. Having been a avid reader of golf literature over the years, it was very comforting to find Chuck reinforcing the basics of swing mechanics that are widely accepted as fundamental to the game of golf. I look forward to working with Chuck this spring to reinforce his lessons and prepare myself for an exciting year of golf.

Simply put, Chuck can help any level golfer improve their game. Thanks for all your help Chuck!

Great to work with you and I look forward to your sessions this year as you continue to improve.

I would like to thank Charles Veeder from CVGOLF for all the direction in choosing, installing, re-shafting, and setting up the proper shaft for my driver. Thanks to his expertise my drives are longer (23yds) and straighter than they ever have been. All the while done in a timely fashion and shipped back to Ohio. I look forward to doing business with you again in the near future and if I am ever in NY I would love to stop by for a lesson.

Thank You,

I recently played my best round of golf after taking lessons with C. Veeder of CV golf and working on my lesson plan. With greater consistency in my swing, I am more focused and relaxed. I am looking forward to further improving my short game and having an even better round. Thanks for helping to make this an excellent golf season.

It has been a pleasure working with you. Your hard work and dedication has paid off - keep up the good work.

Recently purchased a new set of custom clubs and wanted to say thanks. They have definitely helped my game. I hit the ball straighter and farther and I also learned a lot during the fitting process. It is a great set of clubs at a great price - I could not be happier. Thanks

People usually have a positive experience with custom equipment as a properly fit club does make a difference. Thank you for your testimonial and I thank you for the chance to help you to improve your golfing experience.

Went to CV golf for a club repair that was going to take 2-3 days at the big box golf stores and they weren't sure if they could even do the job.... Called cv golf up, he told me to come right over and had my club ready in under an hour!!!!!!! Perfect job and very professional.Tthank You CV Golf ...

It was a pleasure to help you out - thanks for your business and comments

Having been an infrequent but interested golfer for the past 6-7 years, I decided it was time to learn what I was doing wrong. Most golfers know what I mean! This fall I enrolled in golf instruction at the Malta Community Center with Charles Veeder as the instructor. What a great experience! From the first lesson to the last, each participant received understandable, meaningful instruction from Charles. His depth of knowledge and experience in the game was apparent. Reflecting back, I think the following:
Each participant received individual instruction from start to finish each session; the skills taught were presented in a very logical/sequential fashion. Visual concrete examples were used that definitely stuck in your mind along with tools to learn the skills.
The course was one where each of us felt challenged, and at the same time, the instructor was working hard to insure that we succeeded. Can?t do better than that! T.Wiley

I recently took golf instruction at the Malta Community Center where I met Chuck Veeder. He is an excellent golf instructor. He breaks the swing down so anyone can understand its simple parts. He has good instruction tools, and teaches with dedication and passion. His teaching methods will optimize your game. Wish I had met him years ago.

Charles:
I have taken many lessons in the past and you are certainly the best golf teacher in the capital district. Wish I had the instructions from you many years ago when I started to play golf. I jotted down everything you said during the classes and typed it up in notes. The information is extremely helpful!!!
Thanks a lot.

Just wanted to thank you for the lessons and golf instruction. As you know because of my MS, I have some issues and you have succeeded in getting me on the path to better golf. I have been practicing my drills and I see an improvement in my overall game. My putting which has been a problem has also improved with the instruction. Thank you again for your help. - Judi Ash

"An hour with Chuck has re-energized my enthusiasm for golf and confidence in my game. He doesn't try to fit you into a cookie cutter mold for the perfect golfer. He analyzes your swing from several perspectives and then provides you with easy to follow tips and drills to improve your game one step at a time. As Chuck said - "Don't try to fix everything at once." His advice on chipping alone was worth the price of admission for me."

Had another one of my many lessons with Chuck today. Went into it with some panic due to swing problems I couldn't figure out. In the course of an hour he had me on the right track, confident with my swing and hitting the ball very well.

Thanks Chuck.

"The T-Golf system has incredibly improved my ball striking and has significantly increased my confidence on the course. I look forward to no longer having to describe my game as consistently inconsistent. The The T-Golf System has helped my golf game become fun again."

Spring is coming, and golfing weather can't come soon enough! But I've already gotten a jump on my golfing buddies because I've been taking refresher lessons from Chuck Veeder, an excellant teaching pro, one of the best I've met, and I have worked with several over the years.
Chuck wants to know what you want to work on in your swing...As a student of the game I wanted to resolve three swing issues,
1.Coming over the top
2.Using my lower body properly,
3. Finishing my swing facing the target.
Chuck videos your swing at the first lesson, and throughout each lesson. Then he begins to "show and tell", patiently explaining how to resolve the problem using various aids to reinforce his teaching, as you work hitting balls into a net. After three lessons of five I can feel a real difference in my swing. I am swinging with renewed confidence as I finish in balance, using my lower body properly, and no more coming over the top! Chuck is a pleasure to work with, and I heartily recommend him for any golfer, beginner or seasoned, who wants to improve his game!

You are a great student of the game whom has worked hard to improve. You truely exemplify that golf is a game for a life time. I know you will reach your goals and have fun.

I am 76 years old with a handicap of 23. I have taken lessons from various golf pros and really didn't improve my game. Chuck breaks the swing down simply, "Less swing thoughts - more target thoughts." First he video tapes your swing, then he breaks the swing down by grip, stance, posture, then swing. It all comes together very quickly and I can't wait to get to the driving range. I believe I will knock 10 strokes off my handicap with the knowledge Chuck has given me. I highly recommend Chuck's school.
Marty Breen - South Glens Falls, NY

Great student - you have taken the time to work on your game concentrating on proper basic mechanics - keep going and you will see definite improvement. It has been exciting watching you improve your skills.

This is a great way to learn the basics of the golf swing. I took a series of lessons and my game has improved considerably. Great instructor!!

Just started using the T-Golf system, and I am already amazed at the results the students are getting. A youg boy who is a full time student at our golf academy has a form of autism, and in using the T-Golf system with him, his confidence of hitting solid shots and the enjoyment of seeing the ball fly far and straight has made a remarkable difference on his ensuing lessons with traditional clubs. We are using the T-Golf system daily.

As the inventor of T-Golf I can assure you that Charles Veeder is an expert at simplifying how to teach the golf swing. Anyone that works with Charles should consider themselves very fortunate to have access to his knowledge. You will improve. You can bank on that.

As a professional ski instructor of 38 years and a new golfer, I knew the value of lessons. I have observed many golf instructors over a two year period and saw way to many glazed eyes and blank disinterested looks by students. I had pretty much decided to buy a golf instruction video series. Then I met Chuck Veeder. This guy is an instructors - Instructor. He has a student focused teaching model and breaks things down into understandable and repeatable progressions. I know I could pay more for lessons, but I don't believe we could buy better lessons. Thank chuck.

Think you're too old to take lessons and improve your game? Think again! I started taking lessons with Chuck Veeder of CV Golf in my sixties. Within one season the joy of playing golf has taken on new meaning for me. Chuck has an extraordinary ability to analyze your golf swing and quickly identify your needs. By using an innovative array of training tools, he will tailor your lessons to dramatically improve your game regardless of age or ability.

Chuck Veeder demonstrates that rare ability to explain and demonstrate the proper golf swing so that all, regardless of experience and skill level, can easily comprehend. I have recommended both experienced and beginning golfers to Chuck and he has improved their game substantially. In addition, Chuck has built golf clubs for players that I had referred. In all cases he had taken much time and care in analyzing their swings to match their swings to the best clubs for each. All were extremely pleased with the quality and the performance of their new clubs. I could not be happier with my experience with CV Golf.

After my five lessons with Chuck, I found myself making much better contact with the ball, thus hitting it farther and keeping the ball in play. All of this has resulted in lower scores. Thanks Chuck.

CV Golf is the best full service golf business in the capital district. Charles Veeder is a club builder, teacher and innovator. As a builder he has the equipment to truely build clubs that play to your swing, not just put components together. I have taken lessons from at least 10 different pros through the years. None have enbraced technology and offered more options to help me get the "feel" needed to improve my golf swing. As an innovator, Charles is an early adopter of the Tee Golf teaching concept which is amazingly simple to learn, effective as a teaching tool and fun to use. While Tee Golf can be used by golfers of all skill levels and all ages, it is truely gratifying to see Charles work with youth and handicapped golfers teaching them to play with Tee Golf. The final plus is that CV Golf provides all these services at very reasonable prices. As a student of Mr. Veeder, playing with custom clubs built by him, I can personnally attest to the high quality of every service offered by CV Golf.

thank you - we try to add value for the customer and improve enjoyment of one's golfing experience

Chuck has helped improve my golf game, and I only took a series of five lessons and one playing lesson. Great facilities,excellent swing coach and instructor.
Chuck reshafed my irons to match my swing speed. The results are I am hitting my irons further and more accurate.
If your are serious about improving your game you need to contact CV Golf/Charles Veeder.

Prior to transferring due to military orders, I worked extensively with CV Golf. After not playing for over a decade, they were able help me play to under a 10 handicap. Greatly improving my game and custom fitting a new set of clubs, CV Golf was professional and a pleasure to work with.

Chuck built a set of clubs for me. He really took the time to measure up accurately. He took all the time needed to answer my questions and educate me as a beginner golfer. The clubs are well made and very competitively priced. I've taken 3 lessons so far. He is a very patient and skilled teacher. You'll get more than your money's worth.

Thank you
