I bring 19 years of experience playing and learning the game of golf, with a background as a college-level athlete and collegiate golf team player, and extensive competitive experience. During high school, my team qualified for the state championships, and during that same period I competed in high-level matches, including a head-to-head match against Sam Horsfield, giving me early exposure to elite competition and pressure situations. While I have a strong understanding of the technical side of the golf swing, my teaching approach is not overly technical. I’m a feel-based player, and just like I play the game, I teach it—focusing on feel, awareness, and simple keys that translate naturally to the course. I believe great golf comes from understanding what to feel, not being overloaded with mechanics. A major part of my instruction focuses on the mental side of the game, which I believe is often overlooked. I’ve studied golf psychology extensively, including Bob Rotella’s golf psychology work, and I help students develop confidence, commitment, and trust under pressure. I’ve worked with golfers of all skill levels, helping students improve ball-striking, consistency, confidence, and course management. Every lesson is tailored to the individual, emphasizing changes that are easy to understand, repeat, and hold up on the course. My goal is simple: help you play better golf on the course, not just hit good shots on the range. If you’re serious about improving and want coaching that blends experience, feel-based instruction, and a strong mental approach, I’d love to work with you.

Joined this amazing sport of pickleball about a year ago transitioning from tennis and have never looked back. 5.0 rated player and PPR certified Pro.
"Wow, Jemere’s lesson was quite helpful, especially with the new techniques I was learning, though I still want to work on my two-hand backhand. The instruction had a clear pace and was pretty straightforward, which made understanding the goals easier. I’d say it’s worth trying if you’re into improving your pickleball skills without the hype.

Teaching golf for the past 15 years and playing for 25+. Comfortable working with beginners and all the way to scratch golfers. I’m excited to help you improve your game. I also focus on golf etiquette, the absolute do's and do not's of the game. It's ALL about the ability to avoid trouble and capitalize from good positions. But the game inside the game is chipping and putting. I won the 1986 Strolo Farms Cup in Ocala, FL And won the 1995 Hillsborough county Sheriff's department Mounted Posse /Lykes Shoot Out Tournament in Plant City, FL I love the game and its history, and I'll do everything I can to preserve it!
"Mike came with distance issues between irons and a weak fade. I adjusted his grip. Changed his ball positions and over the course of a few weeks, he found the "bottom" of his swing. The last time I worked with Mike the weak fade was gone. He was striking the ball much better with authority!
