"One of the finest teaching pros I have met on the local scene in Ireland, it did not surprise me when he captured the 2008 Irish Order of Merit title because of his attention to detail and dedication to the game of golf. I would strongly recommened him as a first class teacher to anyone who possesses these same qualities. If you are prepared to work hard he will not fail you."
Padraig Harrington, 3 Time Major Winner and Ryder Cup Champion
"I first met John in 2005 and from day one have been impressed with his approach to the game of golf. To say that he is the most qualified golf professional in Ireland would be an understatement. Consider the following - training spells with 2008 PGA coach of the year in Australia, Denis McDaid, Top 100 coach in America, Dave Phillips, World renowned teaching coach, Bob Torrence and putting guru to the stars, Paul Hurrion. He has also completed all levels of golf coaching at the world class testing facility, the Titleist Performance Institute in California and is presently completing a degree course in sport strength and conditioning for golf with Dr. Liam Hennessy. Need I add any more? The winner of the 2008 Irish Order of Merit title is THE coach to see if you wish to take your game to the next level. As CEO of harringtongolf, my strongest recommendation for John is that he is a valued member of my team."
Tadhg Harrington, CEO Harrington Golf
"When it comes to finding a quality coach there are two things that really matter, knowledge and experience. John Kelly not only has the knowledge of teaching swing mechanics, but he knows how a golfer’s body affects the swing and how to address any body-swing limitations. When it comes to experience, John has been in the golf business a long time and has helped countless golfers achieve their golfing goals. Take it from me, John can help you play and feel better."
Dr. Greg Rose, Co-Founder Titleist Performance Institute
