Testimonials

"Do you want an insider's view of college golf, college golf programs, coaches and universities?  John knows.  He is the "answer man" for every question you have or should have about the recruiting process.  He will tell you what college coaches may not want to tell you.  He will tell you where you should be looking, and where you should not.  He will tell you the way it is, and the way it is not.  He is a fantastic resource and a great guy.  Both my son and I thoroughly enjoyed working with John and appreciated his insight during a difficult process."

Eric Gielow, Muskegon, Michigan 

"John Brooks, through his Red Numbers Golf Program, fills a much needed void in preparing both competitive juniors and their parents to successfully manage the transition to collegiate golf.  John's experience, individual attention, and professional guidance have dramatically improved all aspects of my son's preparedness to compete at the collegiate level.  I strongly encourage any junior golfer contemplating competing at the collegiate level to enroll in the Red Numbers Golf Program to maximize their opportunities."

Eric Schneider, Sea Island, Georgia    

"When you sign up with John Brooks, you are basically entrusting your child's future in golf to him.  I can think of no one more worthy or deserving of this trust than Coach John Brooks.  His Red Numbers Golf Program empowered us with the knowledge necessary to successfully navigate both our son and daughter's development in junior golf and ultimately find the right college golf program for each of them to join."

Don and Brucie Hooper, Greensboro, Georgia

"John Brooks is a meticulous professional.  He is committed to navigating young players through the tournament maze to earn a possible spot on a collegiate golf team.  Coach Brooks is highly regarded and well connected in the collegiate golf world.  When Coach Brooks is in your corner he is totally honest with the parents as well as the player.  He communicates efficiently and exhibits total belief in his charges.  That belief bolsters incredible confidence in a young player.  We think of John Brooks as our golf guru!"

Christine B. Fulford, Rocky Mount, North Carolina

"Coach Brooks has been a positive influence and mentor for our son.  He has played a vital role in strengthening his game, endurance, and mental approach.  His contacts within the golfing circle are a needed benefit."

Andy and Ana Beindorf, Vero Beach, Florida

"We first met John Brooks when he spoke to an audience of parents at the Optimist International at PGA National regarding the expectations, myths and realities of college golf recruiting.  He explained what it takes to move from the thousands of very good junior players to the ranks of a recruited junior player striving to earn a college golf scholarship.  I came to the realization that John was either involved with or knew just about every tournament director or junior tournament organization in Eastern America.  He is an invaluable resource when advising a prospective college golfer on how to target "best fit" schools while factoring in playing time and scholarship opportunities.

John has always been matter of fact and early on will tell the family that it is up to the player to exercise time management skills in order to succeed in college.  John provided the expertise and guidance for my son to have the proper exposure among college coaches and continues to help us with summer tournament scheduling.  I'm sure that if your child has the desire to succeed in college golf, then John Brooks can and will serve as a wonderful resource for you." 

Mark McAndrew, Barrington, Rhode Island

"College coaches recognize Red Numbers Golf as a unique consulting service that helps young golfers develop a game and a resume for college consideration.  Their guidance, recommendations, and assistance in organizing a representative resume highlighting my child's golfing abilities, has been extremely helpful.  From his college coaching experience, John Brooks knows how to package this information in a manner that appeals to college golf coaches.  I feel this professional approach has created opportunities for my son, which will allow him to continue competitive golf at the college level."

Dr. Jim Barsamian, Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida

"If you want to know what it takes to play college golf and how to get there, John Brooks is your source for the straight story.  Our experience with John exceeded our expectations and made a big difference in our son’s development as a player and a person.  His ability to communicate with young student-athletes and serve as a coach and mentor during the ups and downs of junior golf provided an invaluable service.  If you are serious about maximizing your potential with the goal of playing college golf, we highly recommend John and the Red Numbers Golf program."

Dan and Carol Dressel, Malvern, Pennsylvania

"We began working with Coach John Brooks of Red Numbers Golf when our son was in 11^th grade.  This was a very critical time period in the college recruiting process.  While we were uncertain about how the process would work and how our son should make his final college decision, Coach Brooks helped clarify his goals and identified several best fit schools for him.  In addition, our son learned many other invaluable life skills from Coach Brooks through the way he taught him how to respond to college coaches."

The Han Family, China

"We came to John Brooks at a difficult time for our son and his potential college golf career.  Our son was a very competitive junior player and because of my connections through the golf world, we thought everything would fall in place without any problem.  The services Coach Brooks brought to us through Red Numbers Golf were extremely helpful to both our son and our family.  The road map to success, a focused training regimen, tournament schedules, a list of colleges that best fit him, and finally assistance in restoring our son's confidence all proved to be valuable.  Our son is very happy at college and his game continues to improve.  I highly recommend the Red Numbers Golf program to anyone who is trying to navigate their way through the maize of junior golf while preparing for a collegiate career."

Scott Perry, Weddington, North Carolina

"We met Coach Brooks during my son's junior year in high school and during the past two years he has helped us navigate junior golf and manage the college evaluation and selection process.  Coming from the northeast, we were uncertain as to what college golf opportunities were available for our son.  Coach Brooks' honest and accurate advice was very reassuring and proved to be correct.  He always responds quickly to our calls and emails and continues to show concern for my son's progress both on and off the golf course.  I would recommend Coach Brooks to any junior golf family who is looking for experienced, honest information and advice regarding both junior and college golf."

Jeff and Debbie Kublin, Needham, Massachusetts

"My son and I worked with Coach Brooks for two years.  He is a first class guy, very professional and we really enjoyed working with him.  His consulting skills are at the highest level and coupled with his intimate knowledge of college golf, enable him to deliver value to the client that exceeds the cost of his fees.  More importantly, he levels the playing field by providing the kind of guidance, tactics and information that enable the client to approach the recruiting process with knowledge and confidence.  Since it's a critical process that we would engage in only once, we didn't want to risk "learning on the job."  Coach Brooks listened carefully to what my son wanted and we got a great result!"

Carl Cohen, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

"We signed up with John Brooks at Red Numbers Golf when our son was in the 7^th grade.  At the end of each year, John exceeded our expectations, and we signed-up for another season.  John’s mentorship and guidance with our son’s golf development truly helped him maximize his potential.  As a result, when the college recruiting process started, our son was ahead of the curve and recently committed to his #1 choice Division I college program.  It wasn’t our son’s #1 choice when we started the process, but it ended up his #1 choice.  We have learned there is no perfect school, but there is a perfect school for each junior.  With John’s mentorship, our son is well positioned to have a great college golf experience and pursue his dreams.  Thank you, John, for 4 great years."
