Play Golf at Canyon Crest Country Club

With over 30 years of golf experience and 15 years dedicated to teaching, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to the game. As a former college-level player on a golf scholarship, and with a current handicap of 1.2, I understand the demands and rewards of competitive play. I work with golfers of all skill levels, focusing on etiquette and rules to ensure players understand the foundational aspects of golf, building a strong base for a solid game, perfecting technique to improve performance, emphasizing critical skills for on-course success in short games and putting, and sharing extensive knowledge of 18-hole play strategies. My teaching approach is rooted in making the game enjoyable while driving improvement. I am committed to helping my students excel in both technique and course navigation, cultivating talent, and instilling a love for golf. Whether we’re honing skills on the range or strategizing for success on the course, I am dedicated to guiding golfers toward their full potential.

Allen started playing golf alongside Rhianne Malixi, the US Women’s Amateur Champion, and has been inspired by the incredible skill and dedication she demonstrated on the course. With a single-digit handicap, Allen applies the same level of precision and focus that he learned from Rhianne to his students, helping them develop their own skills and excel in the game. His deep understanding of the sport, combined with his firsthand experience of elite-level play, allows him to effectively guide players in both their mental and physical approach to golf.

"My husband and I noticed a huge improvement after just our first lesson! He’s an excellent teacher, patient, clear, and quick to spot where you’re going wrong. What we loved most is that he doesn’t just point it out, he corrects you in the moment so you actually feel the difference right away. We both left the lesson more confident in our swings and excited to keep learning. We’re really looking forward to more lessons!

I've been playing golf since I was five years old, competing in high school, where I finished second in CIF during my senior year, and later playing Division I college golf. After a stint on the mini tours, I transitioned into coaching, which I've been doing for about 10 years. With a degree in kinesiology, I focus on the connection between body movement and the golf swing, helping players enhance their game through a deeper understanding of mechanics. I'm currently a 1.7 handicap and remain deeply dedicated to my coaching and my growth in the game.
