Coach Lawson | Break 100 & Break 90 Specialist I help everyday golfers improve consistency and lower their scores. With over 20 years of coaching experience, I focus on helping players break scoring barriers like 100 and 90 through simple swing fundamentals, short game improvement, and smarter course strategy. I have trained players for international-level competitions, including members of Team China in the 2015 China–Asia Pacific Junior Championship. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to lower your score, my goal is to make golf improvement clear, practical, and enjoyable.
Unlock your golfing potential with guidance from a seasoned professional. As a former tour pro with 35 years of experience, I offer tailored instruction to elevate your game. My passion lies in helping golfers of all levels achieve their goals while fostering a love for the sport.
"Made me feel very comfortable as a beginner and took the time to help me understand what the fundamentals are to make a proper consistent swing. I’m no longer afraid to play with others and look forward to practice and play as often as I can.

San Francisco's coastal climate supports outdoor lessons year-round, with mild temperatures even in winter and dry afternoons that suit player development at any level. The 5 active golf coaches (also called golf instructors) combine for hundreds of reviews and a 4.95 average rating, which is one of the highest rating concentrations in the state. The city's golf venues range from the world-class TPC Harding Park, which has hosted PGA Tour events, to the accessible Golden Gate Park Golf Course tucked inside the park itself, so players can match coach choice to the kind of facility they want to learn at. Fog can delay morning sessions in summer, but most coaches build flexible reschedules into their bookings so weather rarely derails a lesson plan for the week. Public access at Harding and Presidio keeps lesson supply healthy for residents who don't have country club access, and the smaller geographic footprint of the city means most coaches are reachable from any neighborhood without a long drive.
| Level | Frequency | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | Weekly | 60 min | First 4-6 sessions build grip, stance, swing path, and contact for new players. |
| Intermediate | Every 1-2 weeks | 60-90 min | Players who break 100 work biweekly on targeted skills - short game, putting, course management. |
| Advanced | Monthly | 90-120 min | Single-digit handicap or tournament-focused players - swing rebuilds and competitive prep paired with self-directed range time. |
A PGA Tour-caliber municipal course on the southwest side of the city with a full practice facility, putting greens, and a championship layout that has hosted major-tier professional events. Ideal for serious improvers who want a venue worth growing into.
A historic tree-lined course inside the Presidio with rolling elevation changes and tight fairways. Great for players who want to learn shot shaping and course management on a layout that punishes loose swings but rewards thoughtful approach play and disciplined ball-striking around the greens.
A 9-hole par-3 inside Golden Gate Park, perfect for short-game work, beginner lessons, and learners who want a low-pressure venue close to the center of the city. Walkable, affordable, and easy to revisit on your own between lessons for repetition.
A practice-focused spot in the Marina suitable for swing-mechanic lessons, range-style warm-ups, and players who want to drill fundamentals without booking tee times at a full course. Strong fit for the early phase of beginner coaching and for players short on time.
