Experienced Head Instructor owner of Energy First Golf Academy in Golf in Suwanee, Lawrence offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

“Lawrence, is hands down the best swing instructor I have ever worked with. He has an unbelievable ability to evaluate and diagnose swing issues and then he commits himself entirely to resolve the problem.
Thorough out the process he has kept me educated and allowed me to build a solid understanding of why issues occur and how to resolve those issues.
Lastly, Lawrence has been extremely responsive and always willing to talk or get together.

I highly recommend Lawrence if you are wanting to improve your game!”

“Lawrence is a great golf instructor! Regardless of your level of skill, he will teach you the fundamentals and how they apply to your individual game. He’s a pleasure to work with.”

“My 9-year-old son has been taking a golf lesson from Coach Lawrence and it has been almost 2 years now. My son learns not only how to play golf but also how to enjoy it. Also, I started taking a lesson from coach Lawrence and I now really like it. I had no idea about golf but now I can talk about it. My husband is great at golf and he also takes a lesson from coach Lawrence once in a while to correct his swing and others. Now my whole family can go out to a filed and have a great time together. Thank you very much, Lawrence! We are so blessed to have you for our family coach and our family friend!!!”

“Lawrence is an exceptionally talented instructor who is great at working with adults and kids and in private or semi private. From beginners to intermediate to advanced you will be in incredibly capable hands!”

“Lawrence has taught me and my sons for over a year. Over that time, we have all experienced significant improvement in our games due to Lawrence’s excellent instruction. We highly recommend him to everyone, including kids.”

“My experience with Lawrence easily deserves a five star rating. I define professionalism as being on time, prepared, knowledgable, and having a positive attitude. Lawrence meets all those criteria every lesson. What I find extraordinary and unique is his depth of knowledge about being an instructor and of the game. He effectively communicates each new lesson, which appears individually tailored to every person. My experiences are a perfect balance of challenging, fun, and inspiring. The swing I developed from watching instructional videos or reading books was drastically better after only a couple lessons. It’s a terrific value for your money and time, hopefully he won’t raise rates after reading this. Thank you Lawrence!”

“Lawrence is awesome! I have had such a great experience with him. Always professional and a fun guy to have lessons with. I have seen my game get better and much more consistent. Lawrence is more than just an instructor he is a friend. He communicates very well and always has something new to offer as far as drills or techniques. I always look forward to our lessons and our chats.”

“Lawrence took the time to analyze my swing, pointed out things to fix and made it easy to understand. Over the course of 9 lessons, my swing was completely revamped and I didn’t even realize it along the way. He breaks up each lesson to work on certain aspects of your swing and by lesson 9, you’ve changed. He always encourages you while learning and makes it super easy. The results were fantastic. I was able to hit the ball more consistently, purer, and added distance to every club in the bag. Loved the experience and would not hesitate to recommend him for your golf coaching needs. Great teacher and all around a pleasure to work with.”

“Lawrence is one of the best golf instructors in Atlanta. He adapts his teaching to the capability and learning speed of the student. I have played at golf for 25 years and never shot below an 83. I have now broke down the barrier to the 70’s, shooting back to back 78’s.

If you want to improve your swing, and attitude, I encourage you to take lessons from Lawrence.

P.S. I get my lessons at Northcrest Driving range, which is also a great place to practice and a great value.”

“Lawrence is very knowledgeable on the technical aspects of the golf swing. His eye is also tuned such that he has the ability to improve on your swing with minor tweaks that have major impact using modern tech/ video. He is also patient and fun to work with. If your swing is hurting like mine was, do yourself a favor and give Lawrence a shot. It will be time well spent!”

I only wish I could have found him sooner. What a great coach and teacher. The best part of his teaching is the golf swing. He builds your swing to give you a consistent and repeatable swing. I love his work. Thanks LS

Lawrence has really helped me jump-start my golf game. Despite having no prior experience, I've begun to develop fundamentals and enjoy doing so!

Lawrence is a great instructor. He has opened my eyes to the game of golf. For 15 years, I thought I knew how to play the game but I had so many flaws. I feel my swing and my understanding of the golf swing is much better.

Lawrence is phenomenal. After one lesson I went from literally barely making contact with the ball to knocking it 100 yards straight ahead of me. I have plenty of work to do still, but the fundamentals that Lawrence is starting with are extremely helpful and I'm having fun while I'm at it.

Finished 3 of a 5 lesson package. Made a difference from the very first lesson. I really like Lawrence's teaching methodology... Focusing on on the why's vs. purely on movement memorization and swing thoughts. Understanding the why's of outcomes (the good and the bad) helps a great deal in building good habits and self-diagnosing issues while on the course.

Great lesson!

I've only done 1 lesson with Lawrence and I shaved 15 strokes off my score. He teaches the physics of the game and makes understanding why your swing is important easy to understand. I'm looking forward to working with Lawrence more over the next couple of months. Highly recommend.

Lawrence is very detailed, I have played golf and researched golf for several years. There was no question he would not answer about golf or the golf swing.

I did not want to review EFIL after only one lesson. I wanted to go a couple of times so as to make sure that my review was accurate. I just picked the game back up a little over two years ago but not making the improvements that I wanted. I was getting very frustrated. I have taken lessons from a couple of other instructors but not feeling like I was making progress. I found Efil online and decided to give him a try. He explains the components of the swing. He videoed me and showed me what I was doing. I now have a better understanding on what I was doing wrong and my swing has already improved. Now all I have to do is get comfortable by doing repetitions.

Coach Lawrence was the perfect coach for my 8 year old son who was a beginner golfer. Coach Lawrence immediately connected with my son and was able to get him to concentrate on the task at hand and keep him from talking excessively which was an impressive feat. Coach Lawrence provided honest feedback on the lessons and what he believed my son needed to move forward with golf as an enjoyable sport for not only my son, but for the two of us should we play together in the future. I was extremely happy with Coach Lawrencee and my son has decided to continue with lessons primarily due to the connection they established. I highly recommend Coach Lawrence.

My wife and I were completelyrics new to golf when we started taking lessons with Lawrence. He not only teach how to hit the golf ball but also the concepts behind the swing.

Lawrence is an exceptional teacher and has a unique ability to illustrate why we develop particular habits in golf that hinder our progress. The various packages are of excellent value and scheduling lessons is always a hassle free process as he is very flexible and punctual. I feel as though I am continuing to improve with each lesson and look forward to many more lessons with Lawrence in the future.

Lawrence is a great golf profesional. His calm demeanor and patience puts you at ease which is critical for golf. He was able to find my faults almost immediately. I had 3 lessons with him and I left with a clear understanding on what I needed to do to improve my game! - Christian

My first 1hr lesson was more than I could ask for. The method and the analogies used to convey the concepts and ideas resonated with me. I had to unlearn some assumptions and now have a start to a foundation of my golf game.

Learned so much in just one lesson. Excited to work on what we talked about and come back for a second lesson. 10/10

Outlines his clear philosophy about how to properly swing a golf club. Would recommend 100%

Coach Lawrence is great to work with a very responsive to messages. Hid knowledge of the game of golf is uncontested and my 2 kids have been learning a lot from him.

I’ve played golf for 35 years. I am self taught and shoot in the mid 80’s. After one lesson from Lawrence, I now have the consistency to my game sorely lacked. I no longer grind thru a frustrating round. My mind is “free” to enjoy the game again. Thanks Lawrence!!

Lawrence's teaching style and view on a golf swing are very intuitive. I like that he's focused on energy and the swing itself, and after one lesson I'm already thinking about my swing differently and making good improvement strides. Would recommend Lawrence to other intermediate golfers in a heartbeat!

Detail oriented without being neurotic. Swinging my driver without fear of losing my ball now.

Lawrence is a professional coach, my kids love taking golf lessons with him. My kids have been taking the lesson with him for about two months, and started to enjoy the game. The coach is knowledgeable, very nice, flexible and patient, which is what I like him as my kid's coach. We are happy about the the first experience with Lawrence, and have planned to have him as our coach for a long term.

Lawrence is an amazing instructor, with a very relaxing approach yet in depth knowledge of the game. It was a pleasure taking lessons from him and my swing has improved vastly over the course of the past 2 months. Highly recommended!!!

Lawrence has been a huge help to my golf game. I came to him with a wicked slice and very inconsistent results. I have made very measurable progress with his help. I particularly like his ability to pick out one or two important fundamentals for me to focus on among the many issues that I know needs work. After making progress with some basics I have been able to move on and I am now enjoying the next level of challenges that he is helping me address.

great teaching, like the style & how he has try to transform my swing from my core.

Coach Lawrence is very patient and inspiring. My son changed from completely novice to golf lover in a couple of months. Thanks to Lawrence's unique "internal golf" coaching skill.

My daughter has been taking weekly lessons with Lawrence for over 3 yrs. He is excellent with children and a fantastic golf instructor. My daughter loves him and we are both thankful we found him.

Lawrence emphasizes on the fundamental of golf. He trains students to swing like a pro instead of just focusing on hitting the ball. Most armatures' perception of hitting the ball is actually far from reality. Lawrence turns amateur swing to pro by changing the perception. Very effective training. I could see major improvement of my swing in a very short time period.

Lawrence is patient and passionate about his teaching. Has a gradual and paced approach, which is well appreciated. He speaks Madarin Chinese and Shanghainese as well. I won't hesitate in recommending him.

He is one of excellent golf instructors you can meet in Atlanta. Due to his wide experiences, his lesson is always easy to understand. He is also much interested in development of his clients' golf skills. I strongly recommend anyone who want to improve overall golf skills to meet him.

Great coach!

Lawrence is professional, knowledgeable, and personable. In only 4 lessons he has managed to change the way I think about my golf swing which has resulted in taking 10-15 strokes off my round. Lawrence's rates were very reasonable and you will certainly get your money's worth. I would recommend Lawrence to golfers of all skill levels.

Starting to play golf, I had no idea how to improve. Lawrence provided the fundamental knowledge. He showed what I did incorrectly and what to correct. He provided exercises for me to do to learn on the proper golf swing. He was also attentive in answering any questions or concerns I had.

I started my golf with a lesson with Lawrence and I could see how much he cares and pays attention to my swing. I kept practicing with him for a few month and I started scoring in 90s within a year. He is teaching my kids now.
I definitely recommend him.

Outstanding instructor, friend, and support! His help absolutely needed. Strongly recommended!

I've taken about 18-20 lessons from Lawrence over 2-3 years. Lawrence is an effective golf pro. After his lessons, I have significantly improved my swing and increased both accuracy and distance. Golf is deceivingly difficult and Lawrence coaching style is adapted to your swing and learning progression. Even today, during play and practice, I recall his instructions and apply them to get better. Stick with Lawrence, he can help you be a better golfer.

Great person to communicate with. In my case we start from cero up. Great success.

Lawrence is an awesome instructor. He fixed my slice in 10 min. I will definitely go back for more lessons.
