I've been a student of the great game of golf for a little over 20 years and continue to learn every day. One of my most significant accomplishments was achieving my first hole-in-one only two years into my playing journey. I've played in multiple recreational tournaments and have had the privilege of teaching my kids this great game. My philosophy is that golf should be fun and the process of playing better should be enjoyable. If you enjoy it and have fun, you'll want to play more, which means you'll ultimately get better.

"My lesson with Earl was quite helpful, especially in highlighting how small adjustments in my grip and stance can improve my iron shots. Though I still need to work on consistency, I feel more aware of what to focus on next. Still, I’m encouraged to keep practicing and see how things develop. If you’re looking for someone who pays attention to the details and can guide you through specific aspects of golf, Earl might be worth trying.

Occasionally I will play both in the morning and again in the evening. I am a PPR Certified Pickleball Instructor for adults and a PPR Certified Youth Pickleball Development Coach for intermediate and high schoolers.

"The lesson with Wayne focused on dinking and volley practice, which I found quite helpful. I still need to learn how to anticipate pace and spin better but I’m improving due to Wayne’s insights. I highly recommend Wayne if you want to sharpen your pickleball skills.

I am Siri Edell, LPGA Professional with 9 years of experience as a tour player. I think building foundation is important for the golfer. I am strongly at course management and mental game as well. Im excited and happy to help you with any level to get better and enjoy the game of golf.

"The lesson with Siri was quite useful, especially since she is very thorough with her guidance and keeps instructions simple enough to follow. Though I still have some areas to improve, the consistent feedback really helped me understand where to focus. Still, I think trying another lesson could be worth it if you're aiming to refine your game.

I focus on teaching solid fundamentals, building confidence, and creating repeatable swings that help students enjoy the game and see real improvement. I have over 20 years of experience playing the game since I walked onto my high school team. With a background in physical therapy my goal is to find a swing that works for your body so you can enjoy the game. So if you are a beginner or have been playing for a while and want to improve some things I'm sure I can help you. With the use of real time metrics and video data we will get real results to make lasting swing improvements.

"Aaron is an excellent instructor for beginners. He’s easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, and great at spotting small issues that make a big difference. My swing feels more natural now, and I’ve learned proper habits instead of guessing on my own. Highly recommend for anyone new to golf
