"I’ve taken over 100 golf lessons with the same instructor, starting from the days I could barely make solid contact. Back then, my goal was simple—just keep the ball in play. Fast forward to today, and I’m shooting consistently in the mid-80s. That transformation didn’t happen by accident. My instructor is the kind of teacher you almost don’t want to tell the world about—because once people find out, his schedule will be impossible to get on. He has a rare gift for breaking down complex mechanics into simple, feel-based cues that actually stick. He doesn’t just teach the swing—he teaches you how to play the game, manage the course, and think like a better golfer. In my opinion, he’s a diamond in the rough, and absolutely deserves to be recognized among the elite instructors in the game today.

For a little over 30 years I’ve been a PGA instructor and successfully helped golfers from beginners to touring professionals hone their golfing skills. I will make you better at this great game no matter your skill level. My experience of playing at all levels including the PGA Tour coupled with my teaching background enable me to connect with all levels of golfers. I teach at Papago golf course which is also the home Arizona State University golf teams. Papago Opened in September of 1963 and Hosted the 1971 USGA Public Links Championship with my father Arch as the first Head Professional. Watching him teach as I was growing up gave me the fundamentals for teaching philosophy that has carried with me throughout my entire career. I specialize in Private one-on-one lessons covering the entire spectrum of the game, but also will do group lessons and clinics for the short game only.

"Scott is a true professional. He helped me completely rebuild my golf swing. Scott is extremely patient and has a deep knowledge of all aspects of the game. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to change their game."

I have been playing golf all my life, beginning with the First Tee program, which taught me that golf is more than a sport—it's a way to carry yourself, conduct business, and much more. The program instilled values such as courtesy, respect, integrity, sportsmanship, honesty, and confidence, which I live by and which have helped me throughout my golfing journey. I have competed at many levels, including SCPGA, AJGA, mini tours like the Pepsi Tour, and college golf, experiencing the game in various settings. Golf has taken me all over, and I love helping others discover and enjoy the sport.
