My journey in golf began at age five, competing in tournaments by age nine. I proudly represented Davis Senior High School's Varsity golf team for all four years. Although I didn't make the cut for the University of Oregon's D1 golf team, my passion for the sport remained undiminished.

"Alright, my recent lesson with Liubov was quite helpful, especially since she pointed out specific details about my stroke that I hadn’t really paid attention to before.

It’s clear she knows her stuff and guides with a calm, measured approach. If you're looking to get more precise with your game, I’d say you should give Liubov a try.
