"The best instruction I have had in 65 years of playing golf

Marc comes from an extraordinary golfing family. His grandfather, Arch, is enshrined in the Arizona Golf Hall of Fame and the Southwest Section of the PGA Hall of Fame. His father, Scott, is a former All-American collegiate player, a former PGA Tour player, and currently a top instructor in Arizona. Following in both his grandfather’s and father’s footsteps Marc has been an avid golfer for 20 years and has been involved in various aspects of the golf industry for the last 15 years. He played three years professionally on the Gateway Tour and the Pepsi Tour. In addition to playing at a high-level Marc has built and fit golf clubs for Cool Clubs Golf and True Spec Golf. Marc has also served as the Customer Manager for 2nd Swing Golf and is currently a coach for Notre Dame Prep Boy’s Golf. Understanding the interaction between the golfer and their clubs combined with a vast knowledge of the game makes Marc uniquely qualified to help golfers improve their game. Marc first gets to know his student and what their goals, physical limitations, or capabilities are, then uses video analysis to breakdown and show the golfer exactly what is happening and why. Once the main problem is identified Marc works with the student to implement a plan to correct the problem in the most efficient manner possible.

"My 12-year old Son started working with Marc Watkins this summer at the Ocotillo Golf Club. We had just moved to Phoenix and were looking for a coach that could not only provide technical instruction but also tactical and experience based lesson plans. Since joining up with Marc my Son has improved dramatically and has gained the confidence he needs to compete, and win regularly, in local and regional tournaments. Marc has a unique way of relating to young golfers and making the practice time FUN but also very PRODUCTIVE. This is not an easy task but he pulls it off with ease. He is not only a great coach but has filled the role of a mentor as well!

"Very good coach

My name is Kaden and I have roughly 5 years of experience playing basketball. I was a Varsity basketball player at my 6A High school and am now attending ASU to become a professional sports agent. I have a deep passion for basketball and have always been passionate to become a coach. These lessons will come will several drills and tips to take way and improve your game. Can’t wait to meet all of you hoopers.

Basketball has been a lifelong passion of mine, and coaching gives me the opportunity to share that love of the game with others. With years of experience both playing and mentoring, I have developed a coaching style that adapts to players of all ages and skill levels. Whether I am introducing the basics to young beginners or fine-tuning strategies with more advanced athletes, I focus on building confidence, teamwork, and a strong foundation. I believe that every player deserves to feel supported and challenged in a way that meets them where they are. My goal is to make the game fun, competitive, and meaningful, no matter who is on the court. I bring energy, patience, and a deep respect for the game to every practice and every player. I am currently saving for medical school, so I am happy to work with you on scheduling and availability. Whether you’re looking for consistent sessions or flexible drop-ins, I will do my best to make it work. :)
