Scott Lee is listed as Bozeman, MT but his contact page on his website says Battle Creek, MI and yet the footer on his website says Largo, FL?

I know it says "Travelling College" but anyone know where his primary teaching area is? I've been considering lessons and will throw him in the mix if he is truly in Bozeman.

Thanks.

Ray Martin has not been in Largo for @ 5 or 6 years now. He's in the Raleigh, N.C. area now, I believe.

You can take Dead Stroke University off of the list. I closed it down in 2017, and I am no longer teaching or playing full time.

Scott's home is in Florida now, but I think he travels the entire country to teach. I'm sure he'll be swinging by your neck of the woods one of these days, especially if you let him know you're interested.

Florida is the last place I knew of that he was calling home - he was moving there when I had a lesson from him about a year-and-a-half ago.

He's on here quite a bit. He might reply or PM you.
