Private Lessons & Coaches in San Rafael, CA

I help beginners and improving golfers build confidence, learn golf fundamentals, and make focused progress from the first lesson onward. Whether you are new to the game or working toward lower scores, I can tailor our time to your goals, including driving, irons, wedges, course management, and on-course decision-making. I am a single-digit handicap golfer with 12 years of playing experience, and I compete as part of my high school team. I have been trained by PGA Championship winners and multiple Division I coaches. Using advanced data metrics from my FlightScope launch monitor, I help connect your swing, ball flight, and measurable results so we can identify clear areas to work on. I teach online and in person at Moscone Park Golf Practice Area, Presidio Golf Course, and TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, as well as Pruneridge Golf Club in Santa Clara. I provide clubs, equipment, balls at hitting bays, and a launch monitor. Range balls and course fees are paid by the student onsite. Bring your clubs if you own them and a good attitude.

"I've had the pleasure of working with Brock for a few months now and have improved from a 22hcp to a 16hcp. He has been great in terms of reinforcing proper fundamentals in my technique but also tailors instruction to my swing, which I greatly appreciate. Highly recommend Brock to anyone looking to improve!

"Darian is patient, helpful, and kind even when I feel uncoordinated and clumsy. He’s strengthened my technique with precision. He’s quite particular about the technique, but it works. One thing I need to work on now is my own stamina, and then i’ll be a noticeably stronger tennis player than I was before I started meeting with Darian.

Golfing and student of the game for 50 years now. .My philosophy is keep the swing simple and effective. Swing changes are hard so let’s work with what you have unless you are committed to making wholesale swing changes. Fundamentals are key: grip, alignment, posture and swing plane. No crazy gimmicky exaggerated moves: club on plane w a square face, and aligned to target. Let’s get you proficient and confident so you can get out play and enjoy the game.

"Worked on grip and stance with each club and got a good understanding WHY the stance was important (and different) for each club. I did not want 20 or 30 new things to try. I could not remember that many. I can easily focus on two tips for each club and make improvements based on those tips.

"Natalie was very knowledgeable and patient with me. I feel like I got a great intro to the sport and understand the basics quite well now. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn or improve!

Originally from Israel, my love for tennis began at age 9, leading me to train at various top academies in my home country. By my late teens, I had achieved the 2nd spot in a national tournament and competed internationally, which deepened my passion for the sport. My journey took me to Spain for further training and then to the United States, where I played singles and doubles for a Division 1 tennis team for 4 years. Now, I find immense joy in coaching and watching my students grow both in their skills and their appreciation for the game.
