David is living in Eagle, CO currently and teaching out of Eagle Ranch. I have seen him 3 times and he has greatly helped my novice understanding of golf. I have been "doing it wrong" for years, but he has a way of breaking down the golf swing in easy, non-intimidating terms. Couple that with keeping you focused on a FEW things to build repeatability on your own and you will be making improvements (if you are willing to pursue a better swing on your own as well as during the lessons). Well worth the money for a philanthropic proponent of golf (hint he runs his own charity for the less fortunate that want to golf as well!).

This guy is the best on island.. great teacher, very patient, gives back to the community, and given the right incentives, will knock the frickin cover right off the ball.. split em right down the middle even.. he cant put the same ball cause it's all buss up after the drive..

I recently booked a golf lesson with David and came away extremely happy. Although I’d never played golf in my life, he took the time to patiently walk me though the art of swinging a club. The best part is I was driving golf balls with confidence while taking away tips for my next outing. I would highly recommend no matter your skill level.

Three of us took a lesson from David and we all were very happy with the results at the end of one session. Highly recommended!

We came to Maui and my husband really wanted to take some lessons with me. He had some classes before in LA but for me this one was the first time. We found David online and we couldn't be happier! He really knows what he is doing. He has tons of patience and knowledge of golf. He made the class fun and entertaining. I wish he was in LA to take clases weekly! Don't look around anymore! If you are looking for a patient, knowledgeable and fun teacher you need to contact David! You will thank me later ;)

I booked one lesson with Dave. He immediately knew what was wrong with my approach and swing. After making the adjustments in what I was doing wrong, I had quick results in added power, and accuracy, but with less physical effort (if that makes sense...) I will definitely book more lessons with him and recommend him to my friends and family. Keep up the great work!

I came to Maui to Golf and relax at the beach. I just wasn't hitting the ball well and not enjoying myself. I decided to sign up for a lesson with David. I'm so glad I did!! I had so much fun and after he changed just a couple little things I felt so much better and had a great time! I even signed up for a second session so that I could learn as much as I could from him while I was there!! David is a gift! You can easily see he loves what he does and he's good at it! He's positive and upbeat and he's doing so many good things for the sport - including is non-profit and programs for children. The world needs more people like David! I would highly recommend David for anyone - of any age and any level of experience!

My wife and I took a lesson with David and the only regret was that we didn't do it on our first day in Maui. David is a terrific teacher. He quickly pointed out issues and helped us correct them giving us some strong fundamentals to focus on. We left the lesson hitting the ball more crisply and with a smile on our faces. David provided great teaching and did it in a fun, positive manner. Great for all ages and skill levels. Got take a lesson from David -- you're game will thank you!

David Havens was incredibly patient with me and taught me the foundations of golf (stance/posture, swing, use of different clubs, etc.) in a short matter of time! I'm completely new to golf - literally never played once before David's lesson. He was such a great instructor that I noticed my swing and contact with ball improved dramatically in such a short time. My only regret was that I signed up for a shorter lesson (45 min v 90 min+). I've taken many sports instruction lessons including swim classes before and have found that it's incredibly rare to find any instructor who is both an expert player and expert instructor at the sport. David is one of those rare people who can do both! It's also rare to find a pro golfer who is not snobby about their sport - David was so down to earth and so encouraging to me to continue practicing. Additionally David's prices are super affordable especially for the expensive neighborhood and avid golf community in Kihei / Wailea. Excellent value for the cost. Next time I'm in Maui (hopefully soon) I plan to take more classes with David.
