"Josh is the man! Highly recommend
In keeping with the philosophy of Bobby Jones, the first person to capture all of golf’s major championships as an amateur, I believe that dedication and proper technique are essential for success in any endeavor. When you start playing competitivley you find that simply participating is not enough; one must strive to master the fundamentals and execute them correctly to fully appreciate and excel at the game of golf & life. Over the years I have dedicated tens of thousands of hours to the practice and implementation of the mechanics in the golf swing. This has granted me unique insights into the mental and technical aspects of playing well. I encourage a mindset of commitment and continuous improvement for myself and my students alike, regardless of one’s skill level.
"Josh is fantastic! He breaks down all the fundamentals into small steps and is incredibly patient! Looking forward to my next lesson.

"First ever golf lesson, and first lesson with Keith. I’ve been playing for a few yrs so we focused more on swinging down on the ball with my irons. Within an hour I had a noticeable change in my yardages. Very encouraging and I’m looking forward to my next lesson!
Unlocking your golfing potential is my passion! I've been a dedicated golf coach for over 15 years, guiding students of all ages and abilities to improve their game.

"I was only fortunate enough to know and work with David Byrne for a little over a month before he relocated to California, but that short time made a lasting impact on my game. I truly enjoyed his passion for golf and his genuine desire to help players get better. David often went out of his way to coach me between lessons whenever he wasn’t already busy teaching others—something I greatly appreciated. At 67 years old, I’m not looking to completely rebuild my golf swing, and David understood that from day one. His approach focuses on helping you find a swing thought that works for your swing, rather than forcing a onesizefitsall method. He helped me understand my swing plane and path, and how to consistently get into the right position before impact. After that, his favorite encouragement was always: ‘Turn the corner!’ And it worked. David is a talented instructor, an insightful coach, and an allaround good person. And watch out for his son—just a wee lad with a fabulous golf swing already! David’s passion clearly runs in the family.

Great question. When working with kids, the key is to simplify, gamify, and engage—while still building real skills. Here’s how to adapt your golf lessons for younger players (roughly ages 5–12): ⸻ Core Principles for Coaching Kids: 1. Make It Fun First • Use games, stories, or challenges (e.g., “hit the alien cone!” or “get out of the sand trap dungeon”) • Celebrate effort, not just results • Keep energy high and the mood light 2. Keep Instructions Simple • One concept at a time (e.g., “Big Y swing” for backswing shape) • Use clear, relatable analogies (“hold it like ice cream,” “feet like train tracks”) • Avoid overloading with mechanics 3. Short Attention Spans = Short Segments • Break lessons into 5–10 minute stations • Alternate between full swings, putting, chipping, and movement-based games 4. Use the Right Equipment • Shorter, lighter clubs (U.S. Kids Golf, SNAG, or junior sets) • Tees and balls they can hit easily • Big targets for instant success 5. Reinforce Success Visually • Use cones, hoops, pool noodles, and color targets • Scorecards with stickers or fun achievements • Build confidence with visible goals (“Can you hit the 10-point zone?”)
