" When Nikki came to my classroom to lead a master class for my advanced high school theatre students, they were thrilled to meet her after seeing her remarkable performance in Fat Ham at the Geffen Playhouse. Although many were initially hesitant to share their work, Nikki quickly put them at ease and created a space where they felt safe taking creative risks. As students grew more confident, she provided thoughtful, specific feedback they could apply immediately.

I'm Katy, and over the past four summer school seasons, I've taught junior golf group lessons in camp clinics, catering to ages 3-18. Beyond that, I've developed my coaching skills through 1-on-1 instruction, working with individuals ranging from 14 to 55 years old. Back in 2017, I had the privilege of volunteering as a health & wellness advisor for a D1 Women’s Golf Team for a semester. On the competitive front, I've played against some top golfers like LPGA Rookie of the Year Jillian Hollis, Jessica Porvasnik, Clare Legaspi, Cindy Oh, and more. Before diving into our first lesson, I always start with an assessment to understand each player's personality, their mental game approach, and the unique ways in which they learn. From that foundation, our inaugural lesson will focus on observation—watching how you swing or play. After which, we circle back to mastering the fundamentals, complete with personalized drills. You get to decide the lesson's focus, be it putting, chipping, short game, or even a 9-hole playing lesson, all based on your golf aspirations. I believe in nurturing from within first. The ideal player I work with understands that a positive mindset is the foundation for a successful physical game in golf.

"Gave the lesson as a gift to my by bestie. Katy was very communicative regarding the lesson and inquired about what goals we had for a lesson outcome. She arrived on time and prepared. My friend really enjoyed the lesson and constructive feedback. He said was very cool and easy to learn from. She even would crack a joke from time to time to make the lesson more stress free. A total success for a 1st lesson. I recommend her as an instructor for anyone wanting to get better at golf no matter what level you are.
