Play Golf at Whittier Narrows Golf Course

For the past five years, I've dedicated myself to teaching golf, focusing primarily on juniors aged 5-17 while also offering lessons to adults of all skill levels. As a certified US Kids instructor and with four years of experience at SCGA Junior, I've honed my ability to tailor lessons that cater to each student's needs and aspirations. My background in high school and college golf not only fuels my passion for the sport but also enriches my coaching with firsthand competitive insights.

"Great instructor!

I’m Alex Sapalicio, with over 20 years of golf experience and more than a decade of coaching under my belt. I hold the course record of 57 at my home course, Alhambra Golf Course, and have competed in multiple PGA pre-qualifying events. My true passion lies in the game itself and in helping others discover and nurture their own love for golf.

"The lesson with Alex was quite helpful, honestly. His patience in explaining goals and lessons thoroughly made a real difference. Though I need to keep working on my consistency, I’m optimistic about continuing to improve and see steady progress. Still, it’s encouraging to get that kind of clear guidance. If you’re looking to refine your game gradually, Alex might be worth trying.

I'm Katy, and over the past four summer school seasons, I've taught junior golf group lessons in camp clinics, catering to ages 3-18. Beyond that, I've developed my coaching skills through 1-on-1 instruction, working with individuals ranging from 14 to 55 years old. Back in 2017, I had the privilege of volunteering as a health & wellness advisor for a D1 Women’s Golf Team for a semester. On the competitive front, I've played against some top golfers like LPGA Rookie of the Year Jillian Hollis, Jessica Porvasnik, Clare Legaspi, Cindy Oh, and more. Before diving into our first lesson, I always start with an assessment to understand each player's personality, their mental game approach, and the unique ways in which they learn. From that foundation, our inaugural lesson will focus on observation—watching how you swing or play. After which, we circle back to mastering the fundamentals, complete with personalized drills. You get to decide the lesson's focus, be it putting, chipping, short game, or even a 9-hole playing lesson, all based on your golf aspirations. I believe in nurturing from within first. The ideal player I work with understands that a positive mindset is the foundation for a successful physical game in golf.

"Katy is an excellent coach and the training session was very helpful ! She explains concepts and breaks down the swing mechanics in digestible bits, and adjusted to my ability/experience. She also provided sharp attention to detail when sharing real time feedback throughout the session.

Hello! I'm a committed golfer with a 4 handicap, and while I love playing, it's coaching that truly fuels my fire. My emphasis? Putting – the heart and soul of the game. Whether you're a newbie to golf or an experienced player looking to refine your technique, I'm here to guide you. Together, let's perfect your putt and elevate your game one stroke at a time!

"Good

Refining your game starts with the right guidance. As a former golf academy competitor with 15 years of teaching experience, I offer tailored instruction to help you achieve your golfing aspirations. My passion lies in fostering a supportive environment where golfers of all levels can thrive.

"I’ve been taking lessons with Coach Chae for a few months now, and the progress I’ve made is incredible. Before working with him, my golf game felt frustrating—I struggled with consistency and often felt unsure about my swing mechanics. Coach Chae helped me break down my swing into manageable parts and focused on building solid fundamentals. What I appreciate most is his patient coaching style. He takes the time to watch my swing carefully and gives detailed feedback without rushing. His drills are practical and directly translate to better performance on the course. Since starting with Coach Chae, my ball striking has improved significantly, and I’ve lowered my scores by several strokes. My putting and short game have also seen great improvement thanks to his targeted practice routines. I now approach each round with more confidence and a clearer understanding of how to play smart golf. Coach Chae is definitely the coach you want if you’re serious about improving and enjoying the game more.

Driven by a lifelong passion for the links, I've honed my expertise over 28 years of golf experience, including coaching beginners. My approach blends time-tested techniques with personalized strategies to help students unlock their full potential and enjoyment of the game.

"Shaun is a good teacher. Very patient and encouraging. I'm enjoying my lessons. Kurt N.
