Can anyone recommend an instructor over at Alhambra or at one of the Pasadena courses (Eaton, Altadena, preferably not at Brookside)?

I've heard some not so good stories about a couple instructors in the area, but no positive recommendations. Give a shout out if you know of one. I've heard some good things about an instructor at Angeles National, but trying to find someone closer.

What is your current playing ability? There is an instructor at Altadena named Kevin Erdman, that is pretty good, I once took a lesson from him. He coaches his wife, a Futures Tour player who was once on the Big Break.

I will give him a call. What type of playing ability is his instruction best suited for? I used to keep a 12.3 index, but have not played for more than 3 years.

I would not rule out everyone at Brookside.  They have several instructors that are all very different.  They also have a great practice facility.

Ironically, and rather unusual is the fact that both Kevin Erdman and his wife - both mentioned above appeared in the Golf Channel show - The Big Break , since this thread started. http://www.southland..._Break1209.aspx

Jeff Sanday at Arroyo Seco is probably the best in town.  Not only a good instructor but also a great player who won Long Beach open and was on Nationwide tour for a few years (buy.com back then).
