"Coach Taft trained and coached me for years throughout high school and mentored and has been great and we keep in touch. I highly recommend booking Coach Taft

Jesus completely changed my life. Retired college golfer. Former Lightning McQueen turned Hudson Hornet. I love to go yard…long ball off the tee is fun but short game is key. My approach to the game emphasizes mastering the fundamentals: grip, posture, stance, alignment, and ball position. I believe that a solid foundation is key to success. From there, I focus on ball contact and compression, making necessary adjustments to help every player achieve their best results. Golf is more than just a game to me. It’s a lifelong passion that I love sharing with others.

"Played college golf together for 4 years. He is a great friend and coach to have in your corner. Cares a lot about the game and the one’s he is helping.

A PGA professional since 1994, I have watched thousands of swings and watched hundreds of lessons from many great teachers of the game. I thrive at teaching the weekend warriors by applying the fundamentals of the swing and focusing on balance. I believe people become position and ball focused instead of creating a core driven swing motion of the arms allowing the club to passively collide with the ball on the club’s path to the finish position. Golf is a game of opposites, let me teach you why.
