"The lesson was pretty straightforward since I was the only student, but I think it could be more engaging if there were more people around to watch and maybe give some feedback still, I think Eldwin has a good approach.

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.

"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.
