"The lesson was quite challenging, and we practiced different aspects of the game, which was helpful. Still, I think more practice could really solidify what we learned. Leonardo has a calm way of explaining things, and I’d consider trying another lesson soon.

"Hello! I took a private lesson with Phil & he was amazing! He helped me dissect each part of my game, from dinking, to serving, to paddle grip & backhand. He was very patient explaining the "why" behind each technique. I will be taking more lessons over the summer! Phil, you are a great instructor! Myriam B.

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.

With roots in the waves of North Carolina's Carolina Beach, Wrightsville, and the Outer Banks, my surfing journey has taken me around the globe. From the legendary breaks of Hawaii to the exotic shores of Bali, Brazil, and beyond, I've chased swells and explored coastlines in search of the perfect wave. For 6 years, I called San Diego home, riding every swell that graced its shores. From the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Mexico, from Italy to Indonesia, I've immersed myself in diverse surfing cultures and landscapes. Now, with a wealth of experience under my belt, I'm passionate about sharing the stoke with others. Whether you're a beginner learning to stand up or an experienced surfer looking to refine your technique, I'm here to guide you down the line and help you make the most of every wave.

"Alan is top notch. Professional yet approachable. I've golfed plenty over the last 30 years, but never had any instruction and struggled to be in any way consistent. Alan figured out immediately what my main issue was on the first lesson, and by the end of the hour I had much improved. He also gave me guidance on what to work on to improve when I'm on my own.
