I began playing golf at the age of 14 and went on to become the MVP during my junior and senior years in high school. I earned a scholarship to a Division I university, where I competed in a highly competitive NCAA environment. My coach, who had worked with professional players like Kite, Watson, and Weiskopf, imparted valuable knowledge about golf's mental game and mechanics. My coaching journey began when my daughter insisted she wouldn't play varsity golf unless I coached. For the past 10 years, I have coached girls' varsity golf, mentoring several players who have advanced to collegiate Division I schools. My approach to coaching is informed by my own experiences of learning from mistakes and mastering the game. I work closely with my students, helping them understand and overcome the challenges of golf physically and mentally.
"I loved how Paul’s coaching experience with beginner women shines through in his lessons. His approach makes learning golf approachable and enjoyable. The session was smooth and well-paced with nothing needing improvement. If you're new to golf or looking to build confidence, Paul's lessons are definitely worth trying out! ⛳😊
