I played professionally for 5 years. Caddied on the LPGA before opening my own business. I make learning simple - fundamentals first, then learn how to move the body and the club will follow. There are only a few effective ways to swing a club, I teach a swing that is designed around a neutral spine. I want my clients to have the same, heathy swing - no back pain, hip pain, knee pain etc - from when they are 7 years old to 90yrs old without having to change a thing. I teach men and women of all ages - My youngest client is 7 and my oldest is 87. My first client was struggling to break 100, now he shoots in the 70s. I believe in doing the best I can with one person at a time. When they see success, their friends and family will want in on the experience of playing better golf. I also do: physical training, rehab, strategy and mental work for golf

"Zach has been an incredible influence on my son over the past year, not only helping him improve his golf game, swing, and course management, but also teaching him the mental side of the game- confidence, resilience, discipline, and composure. What makes Zach truly special is that he goes far beyond coaching golf. He genuinely cares about the athletes he works with. He has become a mentor and role model my son deeply respects. At 15, those influences matter tremendously, and we are so grateful for the character, integrity, and encouragement Zach continually pours into him both on and off the course.
