“That lesson with Andrew was quite helpful, especially since my kid really enjoyed the encouragement and learning new techniques. Though, I think working on better angles could really give more improvement. The enthusiasm was good, it's nice to see the kids engaged. Maybe some focus there next time would make a real difference. If you're considering lessons, Andrew's approachable style is worth trying out.”Erica S., parentAbout AndrewUnlocking your golfing potential is my passion!

“Joshua is a great coach. He’s patient and definitely knows what to correct and tells you what you need to practice. I can already feel a difference in my swing and I know that I will be lowering my score in the course!”Rigoberto J., student
About JoshuaIf you’re serious about improving your golf game, you’re in the right place.
I work with golfers who want real results—lower scores, better consistency, and the confidence to perform on the course. Whether you’re trying to break 100, 90, or take your game to a competitive level, my coaching is designed to get you there efficiently.
With over 30 years of playing experience, 15+ years of coaching, a 1.2 handicap, and 400+ lessons given, I bring a high-level, results-driven approach to every session. This isn’t guesswork or generic instruction—every lesson is tailored to your swing, your tendencies, and your goals.

“Nick was extremely patient and kind! I had a very specific thing I was looking for coaching on, and he was super knowledgeable. Despite it only being an hour, I felt like I walked away for sure with tools to help my throw! He had super useful exercises ready to run, and was nothing but encouraging and patient even as I fully made him run a ton/overthrew/poorly threw the ball. Would highly recommend!”Miya K., student
