“Sabrina's lesson was quite impressive, honestly. She was very patient and seemed genuinely knowledgeable, which made me feel pretty confident about trying again. Though I’d like to see my daughter get more comfortable on the court, I think her approach could really help in that regard. Still, it’s encouraging enough to consider booking another lesson soon.”Cansu, parentAbout SabrinaPassionate about sharing my love for the game, I bring 12 years of playing experience to the court and 2 years of coaching high school students, fostering a fun yet focused learning environment.

“I haven’t golfed in 30 years and have had reconstructive surgery in the past year and a half. I was worried that I would t be able to swing anymore. We made some adjustments and I feel confident with my ability to start playing again. Looking forward to our other lessons with Brandon!”Andrea, student
About BrandonWilling to come to you! From North San Diego to Orange County. My coaching style is rooted in patience, personalization, and progress. I believe every golfer—whether brand new or returning to the game—deserves coaching that meets them where they are..
My approach focuses on simplifying the game as much as possible so that each swing, routine, and decision becomes repeatable under real on-course conditions. Golf doesn't have to be complicated to be effective—I aim to give students tools they can rely on, even when pressure builds. Ultimately, my goal is to help players build strong fundamentals, develop confidence, and enjoy the process of improvement. I work with students from beginners, intermediate or advanced. I also work with kids who want to give golf a try.
