Private Lessons & Coaches in Topeka, KS

Golf is the sport where your optimism meets reality. As a man who was a college golfer paired with 18 years of experience, coaching players of all skill levels. I bring a deep understanding of the game and a passion for helping others unlock their full potential on the course. My coaching style emphasizes building a strong foundation in the fundamentals while fostering a fun, loving and engaging learning environment. Let's work together to refine your game, build confidence, and achieve your golfing goals, one ball at a time!

"Had tips and tricks to fix my slice. Super cordial guy!

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.

My philosophy is simple: every golfer deserves a clear starting point. Rather than chasing swing tips, I help players identify the root causes holding them back and build a structured plan that leads to measurable improvement. Whether you’re a beginner looking to build a solid foundation, a competitive player trying to lower your handicap, or someone who’s simply stuck and unsure what to work on next, my goal is to give you clarity, confidence, and a proven path forward.

"I FINALLY BROKE 75. Before working with Coach Phil and SQUARE1 Golf, I was stuck. My QuickScore assessment showed an SPI of 78, and while I wanted to break 80 regularly, I wasn't sure exactly what was holding me back. The SQUARE1 system gave me a clear roadmap. Instead of randomly practicing, every session had a purpose. The RESET and PLAY programs helped me improve my course management, tighten my distance control, and develop confidence under pressure. Most importantly, I learned how to transfer my practice to the golf course. Over the next few months, my SPI improved significantly, my scoring became more consistent, and I finally achieved a goal I had been chasing for years-1 broke 75. The difference wasn't one swing tip or one lesson. It was having a complete development plan that connected my swing, short game, practice habits, and on-course decision making. If you're serious about lowering your scores, I highly recommend SQUARE1 Golf. Coach Phil doesn't just teach golf swings-he builds golfers. The SPI system gave me measurable progress, and the PLAY program taught me how to perform when it mattered. Breaking 75 was a milestone I'll never forget, and SQUARE1 played a huge role in helping me get there. - CHRISTOPHER SAUCEDA SQUARE1 PLAY PROGRAM GRADUATE
