I’ve taken lessons from PGA pros all over Florida and nobody comes close to David’s clarity and results. Worth every penny and the drive from Miami.” — Alex M., 6-handicap, Coral Gables

Having played golf my entire life, I briefly coached high school golf, gaining most of my coaching experience from playing with others and witnessing their positive growth. Golf is like no other sport,and I warn people the better you become the more frustrated it becomes.. My opinion there's nothing more satisfying than envisioning a shot in your head and that exact shot,it provides a satisfaction like none other and you become obsessed with wanting that to feeling every shot you take.. The passion for the game I have ignites a fire in me and I look forward to sharing my experiences with you and help make you a better player!!!

"Listens in-depth and actually knows a lot about the game and the swing!!! He thought me how to work and shape shots!! Brandon is always calling his shots and moves his ball any way he desires!!
