| - I attended a three-day golf school here (cost = approximately $650), with high hopes that this sort of immersion would be the best way to improve my game (at the time I was shooting in the mid-nineties, having just gotten back to the game after years away).
On a positive note, this school is very professionally run, has great facilities, and is in a beautiful location. The instructors and staff have plenty of energy, are very friendly, and seem genuinely happy to be there. The program runs like clockwork, and the experience very much feels like a working vacation.
That said, however, I left wanting something different/more. My game didn't really improve much (if at all), and returned to Louisville with more questions than answers. I subsequently signed up for a few lessons at the local GolfTec, and within a very short amount of time I discovered/improved significantly more than I did at the Rader school. In fact, there were some pretty fundamental flaws revealed by the GolfTec swing analysis that were never identified or addressed at Rader.
Ultimately I don't feel like my weekend at Rader was a complete waste of time or money, as I enjoyed the experience enough, but it was far from being the transformative event I had hoped it would be.
