18 coaches & instructors for lessons in Portsmouth, VA

I've been a student of the great game of golf for a little over 20 years and continue to learn every day. One of my most significant accomplishments was achieving my first hole-in-one only two years into my playing journey. I've played in multiple recreational tournaments and have had the privilege of teaching my kids this great game. My philosophy is that golf should be fun and the process of playing better should be enjoyable. If you enjoy it and have fun, you'll want to play more, which means you'll ultimately get better.
