"Derek is amazing!
Derek
I love golf, because of what it has taught me about myself, and for the game, itself. Golf seems an impossible sport when beginning, but to succeed at goals on the course allows for success in life. I can help begin that journey. I have 30 years of teaching experience, and I am currently the golf instructor with Pegasus After School programs of New Jersey.

Jerry
Experienced golf instructor with the ability to introduce the game to the most novice beginners or tweak the experienced, competitive swing. I’ve been playing golf my entire life from the time my father brought me to the driving range & his clubs were as tall as me! The game is easy, but it can also be as hard as you want to make it. I like to start from where you are and enhance your game as much or as little as you’d like!

Ty Schowe’s coaching journey began somewhat by chance, but his competitive drive has shaped it into something much more. After years of private lessons with a top level tennis pro in Colorado, his natural teaching ability led him from a stressful college poker career to becoming a full-time teaching professional under one of the sport’s best mentors. His passion for competition, rooted in childhood hockey and soccer championships, instilled a deep appreciation for precision, discipline, and daily practice—principles he applied to coaching. He transformed youth high-performance programs, built elite junior training systems, and refined strategy and movement for players of all levels. Five years ago, he discovered pickleball and quickly saw the gaps in player development. Even advanced players lacked a true system for training, leaving critical skills like minimizing unforced errors, reading the court, and strengthening the mental game untapped. Now, on a mission to change that—he's bringing a structured, high-performance approach to the sport, helping players realize their full potential, and making winning feel almost unfair. With pickleball evolving, those who train with purpose are rising to the top— so there’s no better time to begin your growth.
"I loved practicing the form needed for each type of stance and shot.

I have been playing golf since I was about 9 years old and have won several tournaments over the years. I know how to have fun on the course but also understand the technical aspects and techniques that come with each part of the game. We will not only work on your swing but also mindset and how to think and make the right decisions while on the course. Let me help you drop some strokes.
"Tate was a great coach. The progression from the first lesson to the last flowed smoothly and he really covered everything from setting up to your first tee box to hitting from tough lies out of the bunkers. I hit the ball 20 yards further off the tee now and I finally feel confident over those 3’ putts.
