Briana Esparza was the head coach of the Girls Varsity Golf team at Providence High School in Burbank, California, having joined the athletics department in July 2024.

"I appreciate Briana’s approach, she really emphasized that small adjustments can lead to noticeable improvements, which was pretty helpful. Though I still have some work to do on my accuracy and consistency, her calm style keeps things manageable, and the focus on making golf enjoyable rather than stressful resonated with me. Still, I’m optimistic about building on what I learned so far and perhaps trying another lesson soon.

"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.

My name is James Houston, I’m a scratch golfer (0.0 handicap) based in the South Bay. I played competitively at Mira Costa High School and later with the University of Oregon Men's Club Golf Team. I specialize in the short game, with a focus on putting and chipping. Many golfers spend a lot of time on the driving range, but a large part of the game happens around the green. I enjoy helping players spend more focused time developing feel and confidence in those areas. My coaching philosophy is simple: golf is not a one-size-fits-all game. Every golfer has a unique game, feel, and set of strengths. I believe there are multiple ways to approach any challenge in golf, and my goal is to help you find the solution that fits your style of play. I work with golfers of all skill levels, whether you’re just getting started or looking to spend more time refining your short game.

"I cannot recommend James enough for anyone looking to improve their short game. His attention to detail and range of golf knowledge set him apart from other instructors. By focusing on drills tailored to the technical aspects of my game that I needed to work on I was able to lower my handicap substantially. My short game went from a weakness to a strength. I cannot thank James enough for his help.

I love helping other people fall in love with the game of golf and improve with simple catered adjustments. Hitting the shot you planned for is the most rewarding feeling in golf, but it can be so frustrating when starting out. My goal is to help players, new or seasoned, young or old, get better and more consistent with their golf game. I’m a former college golfer with 15+ years playing the game, constantly trying to improve my own game as well as assist others with their unique swing. Let’s improve your game together!
