I have various playing and coaching experiences. I started my career in the 7th grade, coming off the end of the bench. I was able to work my way up and became a four-year varsity player. In my senior year of high school, I was team captain, a 1st-team all-league selection, and team MVP. I went on to play 2 years collegiately (1 year at the NCAA D3 level, one at the Junior college). From seeing many different levels, I understand the game well and can help other players reach their potential. Nothing beats hard work, knowledge, and a good coach. Let's get to work!!

Hi! I'm a current lacrosse player at the University of Redlands and an athlete since I was in diapers, which has helped me build extensive leadership and coaching skills over the years.

I have a strong understanding of the game as a whole and have coached girls from elementary all through high school levels.

"I was only fortunate enough to know and work with David Byrne for a little over a month before he relocated to California, but that short time made a lasting impact on my game. I truly enjoyed his passion for golf and his genuine desire to help players get better. David often went out of his way to coach me between lessons whenever he wasn’t already busy teaching others—something I greatly appreciated. At 67 years old, I’m not looking to completely rebuild my golf swing, and David understood that from day one. His approach focuses on helping you find a swing thought that works for your swing, rather than forcing a onesizefitsall method. He helped me understand my swing plane and path, and how to consistently get into the right position before impact. After that, his favorite encouragement was always: ‘Turn the corner!’ And it worked. David is a talented instructor, an insightful coach, and an allaround good person. And watch out for his son—just a wee lad with a fabulous golf swing already! David’s passion clearly runs in the family.
