Shiva
Note: Not affiliated with Overland Park Golf Course I am a 53-year-old 2.5 handicap player who has been playing competitive golf since I was 5. I have been involved in the golf world all my life. My dad played professionally for a few years, and I have most recently been a mentor for the First Tee’s Watson Links program, where I have been working with kids of various ages and skill levels. My philosophy is to help people make their swing work better, not to make them swing like me.

"Kruz broke down the swing into simple terms and feels that made it easy to progress in a single session! Worked out some feels with the longer clubs that translated to better shots overall. 10/10 would recommend!

Josh
I can help you learn how to hit slices, topspin, volleys, lobs, how to generate power with serves. I played tennis for around 14 years with 3 medals, one in middle school, 2 in high school. I’ve been playing pickleball for just over a year but I won my first tournament in the 3.0 bracket. I’ve had many people come to me for advice. I look forward to training you.

The court is where I've always felt most like myself.
