Les Johnson has been coaching my twin sons, Ethan and Ryan, since they were 13 years old — they’re now 18 and both scratch golfers, thanks to him. From the beginning, Les had a way of simplifying the swing and making everything easier to understand. What felt complicated became doable, and the results followed fast. Ethan just graduated from his private high school as captain of the golf team and plans to play club golf in college. Ryan was right there with him on the team, and both boys developed great swings and strong fundamentals under Les’s guidance. Beyond that, they gained confidence, focus, and a real love for the game. Les knows how to connect with young players and teach in a way that actually sticks. And just as importantly, Les is just a heck of a human being. He’s the kind of coach you hope you find — knowledgeable, encouraging, and the best at what he does.

We’ve been so impressed with Les Johnson as our son’s golf swing instructor. From the start, he has been patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly encouraging. What we especially appreciate is that Les doesn’t try to force one particular swing style — instead, he works to improve each player’s natural swing, focusing on what works best for them. He explains mechanics in a way that’s easy for our son to understand, and he always keeps lessons positive and motivating.Thanks to Les, our son became the top high school golfer in the Santa Clarita Valley. We’ve seen tremendous improvement not only in his technique but also in his confidence and love for the game. It’s clear that Les genuinely cares about his students’ progress and success, and we’re so grateful to have found such a dedicated and skilled instructor.We highly recommend Les Johnson to anyone looking to take their golf game to the next level!

There are good golf coaches… there are great golf coaches… and then there is Les Johnson! I have worked with a few instructors in the past but Les is by far the best one I have worked with. His ability to identify and fix a problem is truly incredible. I could mishit 3 balls in a row and he will tell me to move my thumb up 1/8 of an inch… and then I drive the next one right down the center. I am often left in awe of how he notices such small details. My favorite thing about him is that he never tried to revamp my swing all at once because that would have made my swing feel robotic. He had the big picture in mind but he just gave me a small cue to work on… and then another small cue… followed by another. Before I knew it, my swing had completely changed but it still felt natural to me. If you get the opportunity to work with him, take it! You will be amazed at how much better you will play.

I call Les the ‘golf whisperer’.  He’s able to diagnose a swing almost instantaneously, and then communicate the fix in simple, ‘single item focus’ concepts.  He’s worked wonders at all skill levels, from rank beginners to aspiring pros, juniors to seniors.  Best of all, he’s a great guy who makes the lesson time fly by.  Highly recommended without reservation!
