Private Lessons & Coaches in

I've been playing golf for nearly 20 years, and truly believe it is a sport that should be played by as many people as possible. I specialize in bringing a fun, relaxed, and easy to understand style for people new to the game or wanting to learn more. I have coached both men and women, most recently being a high school golf coach in South Carolina working with many first time golfers. My affordable rates help make sure anyone can learn without being scared away by the price of individual lessons. For brand new / beginner golfers - my goal is to get you comfortable with not only your swing, but with understanding golf etiquette, rules, and good habits. For intermediate players who are already experienced, but are looking to improve their swing, short game, and overall score- I have a lot of experience with helping identify which parts of players' games can provide the biggest improvements and will prepare a plan to focus on those areas. For advanced/elite players looking to lower their scores even farther, I am probably not the man for the job. I recommend seeking lessons from a PGA Certified golf instructor in this situation.

"During our first lesson we worked on swing path. Nathan is very knowledgeable and excited to keep working with him!

Former collegiate baseball player and all conference selection, who played every position and was always on the field for all four years, with experience ranging over a decade from true playing experience and networking with people around the game, ready to give the best teaching to those who are ready to take their game to a higher level.

"Samuel was very thorough and very knowledgeable I would recommend him to anyone

I've been deeply involved in the Pittsburgh golf community, having been a member of several prestigious country clubs and achieving multiple awards and tournament victories. As a three-time club champion at different clubs and a former coach at Oakland Catholic High School, I've had the privilege of teaching and mentoring golfers over the years. For the past five years, I've offered personalized lessons at Cool Springs, Practice Tee, and Vietmeier's Golf Centre, utilizing these sites to enhance players' skills and enjoyment of the game.

"Training with Coach Tanner has completely elevated my game as a goalkeeper. The sessions were tailored to my position, focusing on footwork, reaction time, and decision-making under pressure. I’ve gained confidence commanding the box and improved both my shot-stopping and distribution. He always pushed me to work hard while also explaining the ‘why’ behind each drill, which helped me understand the game on a deeper level. Thanks to his coaching, I feel more prepared, more focused, and ready to perform at the varsity level.

I am a 5.2 DUPR-rated pickleball player, Selkirk-sponsored athlete, and collegiate competitor with wins on the PPA Tour in both doubles and singles.
