“My kids went 0 to 100 and had a total blast while doing so. Highly recommend!”Michael J., parent
About JoshuaIn keeping with the philosophy of Bobby Jones, the first person to capture all of golf’s major championships as an amateur, I believe that dedication and proper technique are essential for success in any endeavor.
When you start playing competitivley you find that simply participating is not enough; one must strive to master the fundamentals and execute them correctly to fully appreciate and excel at the game of golf & life.
Over the years I have dedicated tens of thousands of hours to the practice and implementation of the mechanics in the golf swing. This has granted me unique insights into the mental and technical aspects of playing well.
I encourage a mindset of commitment and continuous improvement for myself and my students alike, regardless of one’s skill level.Go to profile98OutstandingTop rated

“Greg’s skill in pinpointing my weaknesses really made a difference, and I appreciated how he focused on improving my game without overdoing it. If you’re looking for a lesson that’s quite helpful and tailored, Greg is worth trying.”Chuck D., studentAbout GregOver 40 years of playing experience and over 20 years teaching experience! I have played tennis since I was 6 years old and I first learned how to play tennis from my parents at an early age. I then began taking lessons from tennis instructors who had many years of playing experience. They brought a wealth of knowledge to me as a junior, which in turn helped me learn and excel as a junior player. I was one of the top 10 junior players in Texas and also competed in all national tennis tournaments around the country. It was an incredible experience and I very much hope to be able to pass on some of what I’ve learned to some of my tennis students in the San Antonio area!Go to profile98OutstandingTop rated

“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.

“Sean is very clear with his instructions. He explains exactly what you need to know without being overly verbose and demonstrates well. Some people spend so much time explaining that you don't get much chance to practice, but Sean provides the right balance. If you mess up, he doesn't immediately stop you to re-explain because he understands you need to keep practicing before you can do what he said. Some people keep stopping you to keep re-explaining, preventing you from continuing to try to actually do what they instructed. Sean is good about letting you know what you did right and *how* you did something wrong. He always provides encouraging feedback.”Claire G., student
