I’ve been playing tennis for 15 years, growing up in Atlanta, GA, where my passion for the game took root. I’m currently competing in professional ITF tournaments to make it onto the WTA tour. As a junior, I achieved a 10 UTR and competed in numerous Southern and National tournaments, often playing in older age groups. In high school, I led my team to its first-ever state championship, going undefeated at the line 1 position. I finished my high school career as a 4-star recruit and attended the University of Georgia, where I focused on academics with plans to attend medical school while continuing to hone my tennis skills. Now, training with former pros, I’m eager to share what I’ve learned with others, helping them elevate their game and enjoy the journey!

Sue
I’ve been passionate about tennis for over 20 years, thanks to my father who introduced me to the game at a young age. I earned my coaching certification from The Professional Tennis Registry in 2021 and have since coached for Nike Tennis Camps, Smoke Rise Country Club, and offered private lessons. As a former Division II college player, I also volunteered at an afterschool program, where I had the chance to teach kids tennis alongside a local coach. This experience, along with four years of coaching at Reading & Requests, taught me the value of listening to students and using positive reinforcement to foster rapid improvement. In my lessons, I focus on mastering the six basic strokes, keeping score, proper hand placement, and understanding the rules of the game. My classes are designed to be dynamic, fun, and structured for maximum skill development.
"Great tips!

At the age of 17, Greg was already working at a local course doing maintenance, carts, helping in the golf shop and learning the golf business. Working in the pro shop gave Greg the opportunity to interact with members and develop relationships that continue to this day. There is where Greg fell in love with the game and his passion has only grown stronger through his career. Desiring to become golf professional, Greg enrolled in the Golf Academy of the Carolinas. While there Greg developed a particular focus on methods of teaching and the three phases of learning. He came to understand that everyone was unique and learned the game in different ways. With this new-found awareness, Greg knew he wanted to make Golf and coaching part of his career. Once graduated from the Golf Academy, Greg’s journey took him to Callaway Gardens. There Greg was able to test what he had learned, keep what produced the best results, develop and refine his way of communication and teaching style. It was at Callaway where Greg developed a keen understanding of how to diagnose and correct ball flight to a player’s preference. After Callaway Greg moved on to Highland Country Club in Lagrange, Georgia. There he worked as an Assistant Golf Professional while entering the PGA golf management program which provides world-class training based on “The People, The Business, and The Game”. Today, Greg is a professional instructor based at Northcrest Driving Range in Atlanta, Georgia.
"Great insights, communication, and instruction. Immediate improvements! Greg also makes great use of mobile technology on swing analysis. Most importantly, he’s a genuinely good guy.

With 35 years devoted to mastering the art of golf, I offer a unique blend of traditional techniques and modern insights to elevate your game. I want to help you reach whatever level of success in golf that you want whether that's to become a single handicap or finally get under 100. I believe in trying to make adjustments to your existing swing to achieve results rather than re-making your swing along with teaching course management and short game adjustments that can improve scoring. A large bucket of range balls is $20, why not get some help with your game for a little more?
