I credit George Pinnell with all of Joys’ golf success as a high school and college player, and more recently as a professional golfer. For the past 8 years I have come to appreciate the detailed swing adjustments, course management, and tournament consultations provided by George.
His equipment is state of the art, but more importantly is the wonderful guidance he provides on a weekly basis on how to approach practice, physical training and planning for play in the right tournaments. Beginners, intermediate and advanced golfers would benefit from his terrific guidance.

George has been coaching Michelle for 9 months and has transformed Michelle into a consistent player. Since she has started under George’s tutelage, she has excelled in all aspects of the game. Additionally, with his wealth of knowledge and use of technology, he is teaching Michelle the importance of swing plane, impact, and consistency. However, more importantly, George is also teaching and sharing with her about challenges of life, integrity, respect, accountability, time management, and sportsmanship.
We have great respect for George…not only because of his knowledge in golf, but because he is also a teacher of life. I have seen a great transformation in Michelle’s perspective concerning life as wells as golf. We look forward to a long-term partnership and friendship. Thank you George.

Mr. Pinnell taught my son Rory Hie since he was 14 year’s old. This included Rory’s junior golf career playing on the SCPGA Junior Tour, the AJGA and included his amateur career playing for USC. We are still in communication with Coach Pinnell even though we are in Asia. Rory’s achievement speak’s well of Coach Pinnell’s patience and ability and know how, to teach Rory at a young age. The victory at the 2011 Tangshan China PGA Championship is a credit to Coach Pinnell’s work with Rory.
