Best Ottawa-area golf instructors - updated

I'm looking for suggestions on a good PGA instructor to go with this year. I searched through the forum and the best I could find was a posting from 2012. I figured quite a bit has changed over the years so I wanted to get an updated list of instructors that are good for 1-on-1 private lessons.

I'm looking for a PGA instructor with:
- located in the West end of Ottawa
- teaches with a combination of feel and technology (read: Not GOLFTEC!)
- 1-on-1 lessons
- good for experienced/low handicap golf swings

I appreciate any and all suggestions and your experience with the instructors!

I cannot comment on the quality of the instructors but I know Club EG (formerly known as Executive Golf) has a listing of Golf instructors in the Ottawa region:

If you are willing to go south a little, Matt Robinson, one of our pros at Rideauview, won the PGA teacher of the year award last year for Ottawa.

This has Gregg Foley written all over it.

100% agree with Les

Of the list above, can anyone recommend a short game / putting specialist in the area? I've found that many great full swing instructors don't have anywhere near the depth of knowledge when it comes to short game. Thanks!

Seconded. Dave is incredible

Dave Kalil at the Hunt Club made me a better player...
These words on Dave's website say it all, "Let's make golf uncomplicated..."

As a bonus, you would get your lesson at the Hunt Club; with its great practice facility, almost as large as the Hylands'.
