“That lesson sparked a fresh grip change and clear goals, plus I can feel the swing staying steadier. A few head-still, weight-shift drills will really lock it in, and I’m excited to continue.”Barbara K., student
About PaulWelcome to Golf Lessons by coach Kollar, where passion meets precision. Mile Square Golf Club in Fountain Valley is my home course, where I’ll often be found, sharpening & working on my game.
As a trained golf instructor, I specialize in offering a personalized swing and short game lesson in golf.
Whether you're a beginner, eager to learn the basics and fundamentals of the game, or intermediate player aiming to refine your overall golfing ability, the lessons I implement are designed to enhance your overall golf game, while most importantly helping you to enjoy the time you spend practicing.
As a graduate of Golf Academy of America, Carlsbad, California (unfortunately no longer in business), I studied the golf swing, psychology of golf, and complex teaching methods as well as golf game management. I also learned how to build and assemble golf clubs, as well as expanding my knowledge on the vast and complex rules of golf.
During my 2 years at GAA, beyond my studies, I competed at a collegiate level, making the competitive Golf Team each semester I attended.
I came to understand that there are no two identical golf swings.
My job is to influence you to find the mechanically correct way to improve your swing and develop your short game, to help you enjoy golf more than you ever have!Go to profile93GreatTop rated

““Justin is by far the best pickleball instructor I’ve worked with. As a beginner, I appreciated how proactive he was instead of just feeding balls and moving on. He constantly gave helpful feedback, explained the purpose behind each drill, and made sure I understood what I was working on. I learned more in one lesson than I had with other instructors. If you’re serious about improving, Justin is the coach you want.””Vikki F., student · shared by Justin

“Kevin is an excellent coach. He showed up early, he was very well prepared, and he is very encouraging. I am a complete beginner but he helped me with the grip, with helping me understand the swing, and he also took real-time videos and was able to give very easy-to-follow feedback and critique. There are a lot of changes that I obviously need to make for my swing as a beginner but Kevin also understood the need to make the most important changes in a stepwise fashion so I didn't feel overwhelmed, I'm definitely going to book several more lessons”Vinay N., studentAbout KevinHi, I’m Coach Kevin! ⛳
Golf has been a major part of my life for over 20 years. I started playing at the age of five and went on to compete at national, international, and professional mini-tour levels, achieving a personal-best round of 63.
Throughout my playing career, I’ve experienced the challenges, frustrations, and breakthroughs that come with improving at golf. Those experiences have shaped my approach to coaching and helped me understand what golfers really need to make lasting progress.
With over 2,000 lessons taught, I’ve worked with golfers of all ages and skill levels, from complete beginners to experienced players looking to take their game further.
My coaching philosophy is simple: Every golfer is different, and every swing deserves a personalized approach.
I combine my competitive playing experience with modern swing analysis and video technology to help students understand their swings, identify the root causes of their struggles, and build more consistent, repeatable movements.
I believe great coaching should be simple, clear, and enjoyable. Rather than overwhelming you with technical information, I focus on making each lesson easy to understand, with practical drills and a clear plan for improvement.
Whether you’re picking up a golf club for the first time, trying to break 100, or working toward lower scores, my goal is to help you improve with confidence and enjoy the process.
I offer lessons in English, Mandarin Chinese, and Burmese, and welcome golfers of all ages and abilities.

“Took my very first ever lesson with Andrew. He was clear and very insightful with his instructions. He gave me exactly what I was looking for in a coach. I came away with drills and techniques that I can work on at the range. Rather than just hitting balls. I’m look forward to our next lesson and improving my game.”Jesus N., studentAbout AndrewFor over 25 years, I’ve helped golfers of all skill levels—from beginners to current PGA Tour professionals—improve their game and reach their potential. My passion for coaching comes from the life lessons golf teaches: patience, discipline, accountability, and perseverance. I believe great instruction is about more than the golf swing; it’s about building confidence, enjoying the process, and helping each player grow both on and off the course.Go to profile93GreatTop rated

“Martin's patience really stood out to me, and I appreciated the helpful feedback on my serve. We started with some good warm up and then went over flat and kick serves which I’ve been struggling. The feedback he gave immediately improved my feel of the flat serve. He’s a chill dude and fun to work with. I'd suggest giving Martin a shot if you're looking to improve your tennis skills gently and thoughtfully.”Kevin W., student

“As someone who has never taken a golf lesson before, I wasn’t sure what to expect—but you made the entire experience incredibly comfortable from the start. Being a family friend, I thought I might feel a little awkward or out of place, but it was the complete opposite. You were professional, patient, and surprisingly good at explaining things in a way that made everything feel simple and doable. I appreciated how you broke down the basics without overwhelming me, and how you gave feedback that was encouraging rather than intimidating. What really stood out was how natural the lesson felt—like learning from someone I trust, but still getting the kind of quality instruction I’d expect from a seasoned coach. By the end of the session, not only did I feel more confident in my swing, but I actually understood what I was doing and why. For a first lesson, that meant a lot. Thanks for making the experience such a positive one. I walked in unsure and walked out excited to keep learning—couldn’t ask for more from a coach or a friend.”Margie, student · shared by Danny
