"Working with the team at Trace Performance Center throughout 2025 has completely transformed my game. I started the year with a 5.2 handicap index and finished November at 1.8—earning recognition as the most improved golfer at the club.

Ed Walls simplified my entire approach to the full swing. His ability to break down complex mechanics and tailor instruction to the way I naturally move made an immediate impact. Jeffrey Taylor elevated my putting to a completely different level.

Together, they are the best coaches I've ever worked with. Their combined expertise, professionalism, and ability to personalize instruction make Trace Performance Center the premier destination for any golfer committed to real improvement."

"From complete beginners to confident golfers, our experience with Ed Walls at Carolina Trace has been nothing short of amazing. When we started, we were new to the game and unsure where to begin, but after just three group lessons with Ed, we've each lowered our golf scores by 27 strokes.

Ed's calm and patient teaching style helped us feel comfortable right from the start. He takes the time to break down every movement and explain not just what to do, but why it matters. His ability to communicate techniques from a new player's perspective made each lesson clear and easy to apply.

Thanks to Ed's expertise and supportive approach, we now look forward to every round of golf with excitement instead of nerves. We can't recommend his lessons enough to anyone who wants to truly improve their game."

"During 2025, I've discovered the Trace Performance Center. Why allow Trace Performance Center to help you with your game? It's the remarkable team that has been assembled. The breakdown of my game has been the most enlightening. Ed Walls takes a slow, methodical approach and instills the confidence needed for lasting improvement. I have worked with the team on every aspect of my game. I've played golf a long time and developed bad habits. These habits are identified, and specific drills are designed personally for me. The mental game, short game, and course management are some of my favorite lessons.

I've never been fitted for a putter. The putting evaluation and measurements reviewed specifically for me have resulted in drastic improvements.

Why do I go to Trace Performance Center? I live 2.5 hours away from the Performance Center and could easily find a closer alternative. I go because the team can be trusted."
