Private Golf Lessons & Coaches in Noe Valley, CA

I’ve been golfing for over 30 years and as I grew older I’ve learned to maximize what I have. I’m 5’6” and though I consider myself an athlete, I do believe a good swing can be achieved by good fundamentals and what I call positioning. By ingraining certain aspects of a swing, we can continue to improve by doing. I’m just a low-handicap golfer who want to teach average golfers good fundamentals as a takeaway, so you can start to improve on your own. I’m not a teaching professional, but I was a design instructor at an art school for over 17 years, I hope I can make improving your golf game fun.

"Marc was great. A nice personable instructor who is easy to talk to. He taught me step by step the correct way to set up and follow through on my swing. I’m looking forward to my next lesson.

Hi! I’m Craig-a skilled instructor and patient teacher of golf, dedicated to helping students of all levels improve their game and enjoy golf:) I’ve competed in amateur tournaments around the world, gaining valuable insights along the way. My experience allows me to customize lessons for each student’s needs and skill sets. I have learned how to get each student, regardless of skill level, to square the club-face through impact which is the most important aspect of the golf swing. My Master’s Degree in Sports Psychology from Purdue University allows me to explain concepts in a way that my students understand. My goal is to empower each player to their full potential and ensure my students reach their individual goals. I truly look forward to hearing from you:)

"Craig is friendly and a great communicator. Things that I've been told before that never made sense immediately clicked when Craig explained the what and the why. Shortly into the lesson, he tweaked some of my mechanics and had me hitting some really good iron shots. Ball flight was straighter and further than they've ever been.

I have been playing golf for 20 years and have been teaching for 5 years. I Enjoy getting people to learn new skills, especially if it is a skill they are struggling with. My proudest golf achievement has been shooting a 71 at Poppy Hills. My favorite golf course is Torrey Pines. When I am not teaching or playing golf, I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking, and playing the drums.

"Very personalized

Fueled by a lifelong dedication to golf, I bring 30 years of experience to helping players elevate their game. I've coached children from the ages of 4-18. I coached a Nike Golf Camp for a number of summers at Tilden Park Golf Course where I focused on younger golfers. I've been the head coach at number of successful high schools throughout the area. I have also taught adults, family, and friends. I offer a unique perspective and my first and most important rule is that we're having fun. If we're not having fun we are in the wrong sport. But with patience and a lot of practice I can promise that your golf game will improve and after hitting a few solid shots you'll become addicted to the game, I'll tailor my lessons to each individual and take the time to ensure that progress is made. My passion lies in fostering a fun and supportive environment where golfers of all levels can thrive. Let's get out there!

"Sean is a very skilled coach with deep experience, and it was helpful spending a lesson with someone who has such a strong feel for the game. I’m very new to golf, and he gave me several useful drills and visual metaphors that made certain concepts click for me, especially his “paintbrush” cue for brushing the grass. You can tell a lot of this teaching comes from years of playing and collecting ways to explain the swing which made the lesson interesting and gave me a lot to practice afterwards.

I am a single-digit handicap golfer who competes as a part of my high school team. I use advanced data metrics gathered from my flight scope launch monitor to help players improve with driving, irons, and wedges. I have been trained by PGA championship winners as well as multiple D1 coaches. I am excited to help others improve and have a great time on the course. *Lesson fee covers lesson; balls/course fees paid by student onsite.

"Made incredible progress in our first lesson together - excited to see where things go!

Golf is supposed to be fun — I help beginners make it that way, faster. No jargon, no overwhelming swing theory. Just practical fixes that give you confidence on the range and on the course from lesson one.

"Great coach is very thoughtful patient with me being a beginner, making good progress after a few lessons! Exciting!
