Private Lessons & Coaches in Hobe Sound, FL

I’ve been playing golf for 40 years, enjoying it in competitive amateur tournaments, recreationally, for corporate entertainment. I've been honored to play many of the world’s top golf courses and meet several legends of the game like Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Tony Jacklin, and David Duval. As a lifelong student of the game I’ve received instruction from The Faldo Golf School, Milo Lines Academy, and Dave Pelz short game and putting schools which have helped improved my game. Coaching is my way to give back and grow the game that has brought me so many wonderful memories and friendships.

"Garry was great

My tennis journey began at age 6 in Cameroon, took me to the south of France at 12 to train and compete on the Tennis Europe and ITF circuits, and brought me to the U.S. to play college tennis. With 17 years of playing experience and 7 years of dedicated coaching, I help players of all skill levels—from beginners to advanced competitors—develop solid technique, court intelligence, and a winning mindset.

"Great Instructor! We focused on the basics, forehand,backhand, serves, & volleys. Was able to improve my technique in those aspects. Also, very helpful with any tennis question, knows what type of tennis raquet & strings to put based on style of play. Highly recommend him.

"Brandon taught me and my daughter how to play pickleball for the first time. We had no understanding of the rules, but he was able to provide instruction even in a small group of just the 3 of us playing. With his guidance, we were able to quickly start playing while visiting on vacation.

I have been a USPTA & USPTR certified teaching pro. I also played one year of semi pro basketball and boxed for 11 years and turned pro as well. I know how to get to the other side. I am a stickler for technique and I have a fun easy style of teaching that is easy to comprehend. I am a veteran of both the Army and Air Force and the youngest child of eight.

"I came to Vernon a little out of shape and honestly just wanting to get back into tennis and finally beat my sister, who was always the better player growing up. Vernon made the process fun and enjoyable from day one. The lessons are a great workout, the music is always good, and he keeps things light with his sense of humor while still focusing on improving your game. With his help, I got back in shape, improved my technique, and I can proudly say I finally beat my sister. I’m already looking forward to the next match. If you want to get better and actually enjoy the process, Vernon is the coach to go to.

"Even though I've played before, it has been more than several years, but I may have played by just picking up a racket, the instructions you gave me corrected some basic errors that became habits. I can't wait to practice more tomorrow. What I learned today from Erik. He was very kind and calculate it, he could tell, and tell me where I needed to put the adjustments to hit a better shot. 👍🏼🙏🏼🎾

"Brian's coaching was better than I can describe! He was able to notice what areas I need correction, showed me proper technique and strategy, and taught it in a positive and encouraging way. Celebrated my successes and corrected my weaknesses in a supportive way. Never felt bad for making mistakes. He had had good energy, was willing to do what it took to get me to the next level. I credit his great coaching style to him having many years of experience of playing and coaching high level sports. Would happily take lessons with him again and the only complaint I have is that he isn't in my hometown, vancouver!

Soccer has been a passion of mine for many years, and I enjoy sharing that passion by helping kids learn the game in a fun and supportive way. My focus is on teaching fundamentals like dribbling, passing, shooting, and teamwork while building confidence on and off the field. I am bilingual (English/Spanish), which allows me to connect with players and families from different backgrounds. My goal is to make every session enjoyable, motivating, and tailored to each child’s needs
