Welcome to Golf Lessons by P. Kollar, where passion meets precision in the charming city of Fountain Valley, CA. Mile Square Golf Club is my home course, where you’ll often find me working on my game. As a dedicated golf instructor, I specialize in offering a personalized coaching lesson in golf. Whether you're a beginner eager to learn the basics and fundamentals of the game or intermediate player aiming to refine your overall golfing ability, the lessons I implement are designed to enhance your overall golf game, while most importantly helping you to enjoy your time spent practicing. As a graduate of Golf Academy of America, Carlsbad, California (sadly no longer in business), I studied the psychology of golf, complex teaching and course management. I also learned how to build a set of golf clubs as well as mastering the complex rules of golf, and the overall fundamentals of how to coach and instruct students. During my 2 years at GAA, I quickly excelled, making the competitive Club Golf Team. I came to learn that there are no two identical golf swings. It is my job to assist you to find the mechanically correct way to improve your swing and develop your short game. Whenever you’re ready to lower that scorecard, I’m ready to coach you!
"That lesson sparked a fresh grip change and clear goals, plus I can feel the swing staying steadier. A few head-still, weight-shift drills will really lock it in, and I’m excited to continue.

"Mario was exceptional in his understanding of what I needed to work on in my swing. He helped me correct some flaws and I was definitely striking my irons and woods much better. He took his time in explaining the fundamentals and how they would apply to my swing. Well done!

"My son Jason, who is 12, first started playing tennis at eight years of age. In Las Vegas, Nevada for several years and had several tennis coaches. We recently moved to San Juan Capistrano California and wanted to continue his Tennis Lessons. I conducted a Google search and found Coach Roger over the years. We have had several TENNIS coaches for our son. This is the first time we have ever come across such an amazing tennis coach. Roger is patient, kind genuine the entire family took a liking to Roger. My son for the first time feels very comfortable with his tennis coach who truly inspires him and at the same time makes him feel very comfortable. He is an amazing patient tennis coach Jeremy. San Juan Capistrano, California.
