Private Lessons & Coaches in Walnut, CA
These coaches teach at top ranked spots and have great lesson fulfillment & student reviews.
With over 25 years of golf experience, a background as a former NCAA athlete, and years of coaching competitive players, I help golfers do more than just swing better-I help them score lower. We’ll focus on the areas that actually move the needle: ball striking, short game, course management, and decision-making under pressure. Dropping strokes isn’t about perfect swings-it’s about making better decisions and executing with confidence. Whether you want to bomb it off the tee, attack pins with confidence, or become deadly inside 10 feet, I’ll help you build a game that holds up on the course—not just on the range. Train like a golfer. Think like a scorer. Go low.
"Great instruction, knowledgable and really good guy
