“I am very pleased with what I’ve learned from Andrew when I asked him to help me correct some issues with my irons. My fundamentals were ok, but what I learned helped me improve on my takeaways and ball control with my follow-through. 

He’s a very good and patient instructor, and I would recommend him to anyone struggling to improve their skills and performance on the greens.”

“I found it encouraging, that you reinforced the positive aspects of my golf swing, while at the same time were able to effectively communicate where I was loosing valuable distance.

Your straightforward approach, to improving my swing , has gained me valuable yardage.

The different exercises you emailed me , later were certainly an added bonus. Andrew can’t thank you enough, for your professional support, all the best.”

“I recently had the opportunity to train with Andrew at Volcano Golf Course.  His approach to the lesson was to work with my swing rather than trying to create a new one.  He was able to quickly pinpoint areas for improvement that made an immediate difference in my game.

He also helped with my mental focus which along with the swing lesson improved my consistency and confidence on the course.

Working with Andrew has been positive, and I plan to continue training with him.”

"After experiencing the beauty and laid-back vibe of the Volcano Golf Course for the last year while accompanying my husband who plays regularly, I decided to give the game at try.

From what I’ve seen, golf is not only a physical challenge but more a mental challenge and a commitment, so I was nervous about taking a lesson. However, that changed from the moment Andrew met me in the parking lot. He too carried the laid-back vibe as we talked on our way to the driving range, he was a very good listener, and we started with some of the golf dialog and game details that I wanted to know more about, being a beginner.

I learned simple yet important things that I now take on the course every time I play, for example, where to stand behind the tee box, picking up your tee after your shot and where to look when driving. I was familiar with terms like the fairway the ruff and the green but didn’t know the term “the fringe”. Once on the driving range he showed me some good warm up golf stretches before we moved on. He wanted to see my natural stance and swing as I told him I had done that a few times before. After he saw that he helped me adjust almost everything from by hands on the club, stance, club to ball measurement, arms, shoulders, head, and hip rotation —we laughed about how much there was to put together while remembering that we’re there to have fun.

After putting it all together I managed to hit a few balls not on the toe, not on the heel (more terms I learned) but center making a nice sound and getting some distance as well. He said he didn’t want to overwhelm me on the first lesson, but I was having a good time and was encouraged to ask questions and try new things. When I started trying too hard and got frustrated, he reminded me to slow down, step back, set up again and take some practice swings, brush the grass a few times or hit the tee without the ball on it.  I’m glad I took the lesson, Andrew put me at easy while giving solid instructions and reminded me that golf is a constant learning game both physically and mentally, the more centered and relax you can be the more fun you’ll have, and your game should improve. I followed up with another lesson and now play 9 holes every week. 

I would highly recommend taking a lesson from Andrew Iarussi."

"Andrew is an absolute gem! His laid-back style made learning so enjoyable, while his expert knowledge and attentiveness ensured we were making real progress with every swing. We felt completely comfortable asking questions and were genuinely excited about each lesson. He has a knack for breaking down complex techniques into easy-to-understand steps, and we left each session feeling confident and eager to hit the course. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their game!"

 "Took my first instructions from a golf Pro!

Andrew was very thorough in analyzing my intent by having a detailed conversation on what I wanted to work on to improve my enjoyment when playing a round of golf! Andrew observed, accessed and made constructive recommendations to immediately improve my swing posture and contact with my irons. His recommendations were conducive to a better results and easily understood…

Mahalo to Andrew!"

"I can’t say enough about how Andrew has helped with my game! My scores are coming down - not to mention that Andrew is a very patient and professional pro."

 "Working with Andrew was a total game-changer. Not only did he deliver a solid golf lesson rooted in fundamentals—like a focused mental approach and clean ball striking—but he went above and beyond by addressing the real-world issues I was facing with nagging injuries in my knee, wrist, and shoulder. Andrew didn’t just teach me how to swing better; he showed me how to take care of my body so I could keep playing pain-free. His insights into recovery, warm-up routines, and pre-game prep helped me feel better immediately—and the results showed on the scorecard. I applied his routine and mental strategy the very next round and shot lower scores with more confidence and less pain. Highly recommend Andrew to any golfer looking to improve their game and their longevity on the course. "
