Best 9 coaches for lessons near Norfolk, VA
These coaches teach at top ranked spots and have great lesson fulfillment & student reviews.
I have 30 years of experience, with the lowest 8 handicap in my tournament days and consistently scoring in the mid to low 80s. I spent 4 years playing on the TGAA - Mid Atlantic Tour, competing in 1 and 2 day money golf tournaments up and down the east coast in the early 2006s as far down as these famous venues: - Jackie Gleason-Inverrary Classic (now known as the Honda Classic/Cognizant Classic) in Lauderhill, Florida.where Jack Nicklaus incredible finish came back in 78' to birdie the last 4 holes to win by 1 stroke ! - The Kingsmills PGA at Williamsburg, Va where David Duval #1 player in 1999 and won there back to back in 97' and 98'. - Plus on July 28th 2024 I hit my first hole-in-one at Virginia Beach National 1st tee on the 9th hole—135 yards with a one bounce 2 inches from the cup and then into the hole was an incredible experience so thankyou lord for prayers answered that day 🙏🏻. Now in 2023 I started teaching my son-in-law of 26yrs old and in just 6 months, helped him improve his game from shooting 128 down to breaking 90 ( Keep in mind only 10% of ALL golf players break 100 and 5% break 90 ). It's my goal to help ALL my students over 21yrs old get to one of that mile stone, so It's been an rewarding journey, and I'm excited to help others achieve similar success in their own game lord willing. 🙏🏻
"Great first lesson with Dan! He explained everything clearly and made it easy for a beginner like me to follow. Super patient and encouraging. I already feel more confident. Highly recommend!
Dan
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.
"Great session looking forward to working with Earl more !

"Laurie’s skills exceeded my expectations and what I found most helpful was seeing her expert pickleball techniques in action. Although my eye and ball coordination proved challenging, the lesson gave me a great introduction to the sport. If you’re curious about pickleball, I’d recommend giving Laurie’s lessons a try to experience her teaching firsthand.

April 8 - 10/10 My child attends the Weds. evening Tennis Lessons at the Chesapeake Swim & Racquet Club. The coaches are very nice and encouraging. I'm very grateful for that. If I could express one thing to change it would be to please stop separating the children by ability. At their age they all need the drills. Thank you! April 9 - 10/10 i9 is a great welcoming environment that supports the interests and development of many young athletes! May 14 - 10/10 We are participating in i9 Tennis.
