Testimonials

"When I first contacted John Brooks, our main purpose was to obtain some help in working through the maze of the various junior tours so that my son could get the most out of playing in state and national tournaments.  What my son has gotten out of the program is much, much more.  Relying on John's knowledge, experience, and former collegiate coaching expertise has been very beneficial.  Not only has his physical swing improved, but his mental approach, course management, short game and overall knowledge of the game have improved as well.  I would recommend Red Numbers Golf to any aspiring junior player who is willing to work at overall improvement of his or her game."  

Mike Kennedy, Bradenton, Florida

"We have known John Brooks since he was the golf coach at the University of North Florida.  Even at that time, John stood out as a role model and mentor for his student-athletes on the golf team.  When John started Red Numbers Golf we were one of his first clients and supporters.  John provided the guidance necessary to develop our son, a typical advanced junior golfer, into a legitimate college recruit.  John's awareness of the college golf programs and his contacts within this field were invaluable during the recruiting process.  John provided direction in the mental approach of a golf swing, on-course management to pre-routine and post-routine evaluation.  His guidance and direction in the physical conditioning offered invaluable insight to the development necessary to a potential collegiate player.  John is responsive to questions from the player and to the parents in a timely manner.  His candor and experience was invaluable as our son developed from a typical advanced junior golfer into a collegiate golfer in a Division I program.  We would recommend John Brooks and the Red Numbers Golf Program to any junior golfer ready to step up to the next level."

Bill and Adrienne Simmons, Atlanta, Georgia

"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

"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."

"My family and I began working with Coach John Brooks of Red Numbers Golf in 11^th grade.  This was a very critical time period in the college recruiting process.  While I was uncertain about how the process would work and how I should make my college decision, Coach Brooks helped me clarify my goals and identify my best fit schools.  In addition, I learned many other invaluable life skills from Coach Brooks through the way he taught me how to respond to college coaches."

Ren Han, 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 regiment, 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!"
