Play Golf at Scratch Lab Golf

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.

"The coach is very knowledgeable, quickly identifies what I need help with, and adjusts the lessons to address even minor issues

I’m a passionate golfer and golf instructor who’s been consistently playing the game for the past 20 years. I started playing golf as a toddler, following my father around the course with a wedge and a putter, and have played through high school, college, and beyond in numerous tournaments. Outside of golf, I enjoy fitness, nutrition, and the outdoors. I’m looking forward to helping you improve your game!
