I’m a 3.8 DUPR player, and what makes me a great coach is that I keep it fun 🤩! If you’re not having fun, you won’t want to play. With me, lessons are fun, safe, and focused on helping you grow—both on and maybe even off the court. I enjoy working with players of all ages and skill levels, but I specialize in helping new and entry-level players (2.5–3.0) build confidence and fall in love with the game.

"This lesson was helpful, especially since Jessica took the time to simplify topspin movements which I’d been struggling with. She was very patient as I learned to use it more effectively. I still need work to become more consistent with my shots but I definitely feel more confident about hitting topspin at different areas on the court.

My name is David and I have been playing the game of golf for 41 years with 23 of those years as a professional. During those 23 years, I have gained experience throughout the golf industry including playing mini tours and competing in the PGA Tour Q-School. Beyond my playing experience, I also have years of teaching experience at great facilities such as the PGA Tour Academy at the World Golf Hall of Fame, and currently teach out of The Yards at TPC Sawgrass. In conjunction with teaching, I have dedicated many years to learning club fitting and building while working for several major club companies as an on-course demo technician. My background as a top-level golf instructor, includes having had the honor to work with multiple PGA Tour players including US Open Champion and Players Champion Webb Simpson, 4x PGA Tour Winner Russell Henley and 2022 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year Cam Young. While I enjoy working 1 on 1 with the world's best, I get just as much joy working with amateur players of all abilities and ages. I tailor my instruction based on each individuals' strengths and weaknesses. I am able to do this due to my love of always learning more about the game. That love of learning golf has led me to acquire multiple certifications from golfs biggest names in instruction, including Titleist Performance Institute (Level 1, Golf 2 and Power 2), Aim Point Express Certified, K-Vest Certified, BodiTrak Ground Force Certified and Swing Catalyst Certified.

Coach Mike Hollis began his kicking career back in 1985 serving as the kicker throughout high school, college, and eventually the NFL. He began his professional career in 1994 with the San Diego Chargers (pre-season only) and retired in 2004, spending 7 years with the Jacksonville Jaguars, 1 year with the Buffalo Bills, and 1 year with the New York Giants. During that time Coach Hollis (including playoffs): Played in 132 NFL games throughout his career, 1998 Pro Bowl, 1997 NFL Scoring Leader.
"Mike Hollis has two incredible gifts. The gift of kicking footballs and the gift of coaching others how to kicking footballs! I have been coached and mentored by Coach Hollis for the past 5 years and I have seen improvement in my kicking game tenfold! Between the ProForm he teaches and the devotion and passion he has to pour into the next generation, he is the coach to go to. I highly recommend getting some personal training with him and attending any camps he coaches at.
