Welcome to Golf Lessons by coach Kollar, where passion meets precision. Mile Square Golf Club in Fountain Valley is my home course, where I’ll often be found, sharpening & working on my game. As a trained golf instructor, I specialize in offering a personalized swing and short game 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 the time you spend practicing. As a graduate of Golf Academy of America, Carlsbad, California (unfortunately no longer in business), I studied the golf swing, psychology of golf, and complex teaching methods as well as golf game management. I also learned how to build and assemble golf clubs, as well as expanding my knowledge on the vast and complex rules of golf. During my 2 years at GAA, beyond my studies, I competed at a collegiate level, making the competitive Golf Team each semester I attended. I came to understand that there are no two identical golf swings. My job is to influence you to find the mechanically correct way to improve your swing and develop your short game, to help you enjoy golf more than you ever have!

"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.

With two decades dedicated to perfecting swings based on your individual mechanics, I blend time-honored techniques with personalized insights, ensuring every golfer finds their best game. My coaching philosophy centers on fostering both skill and a genuine love for the sport. Join me to elevate your golf journey. I amself-taughtt primarily. Played competitive golf in the 2000s and still play recreationally. I have been coached by my stable of professional tour players and PGA coaches over the years. I have studied the golf swing extensively via individual mechanics. I do not change someone's swing based on textbook, but I do ensure the basics are flawless. Grip, stance, posture and alignment are essential. I help players improve within their own abilities and tendencies to recreate and reinforce positive patterns.

"As someone who has never taken a golf lesson before, I wasn’t sure what to expect—but you made the entire experience incredibly comfortable from the start. Being a family friend, I thought I might feel a little awkward or out of place, but it was the complete opposite. You were professional, patient, and surprisingly good at explaining things in a way that made everything feel simple and doable. I appreciated how you broke down the basics without overwhelming me, and how you gave feedback that was encouraging rather than intimidating. What really stood out was how natural the lesson felt—like learning from someone I trust, but still getting the kind of quality instruction I’d expect from a seasoned coach. By the end of the session, not only did I feel more confident in my swing, but I actually understood what I was doing and why. For a first lesson, that meant a lot. Thanks for making the experience such a positive one. I walked in unsure and walked out excited to keep learning—couldn’t ask for more from a coach or a friend.

With over 25 years of playing experience, I teach golfers of all skill levels with a strong focus on fundamentals. My coaching journey began with the PGA Junior League and Nike Golf Camps, helping junior golfers build confidence and proper technique. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player, my goal is to teach the game the right way and help you improve with confidence and consistency. Most importantly, HAVE FUN!

"“I’ve been playing golf for over 10 years, and as an intermediate player, I was looking for a coach who could take my game to the next level. For the past three years, I’ve worked with Steven every week, either by traveling from Arizona for in-person lessons or through online coaching. His attention to detail, ability to identify small swing changes, and personalized approach have helped me continue improving year after year. No matter how I train with him, every lesson is productive and gives me something I can immediately take to the course. Steven is an outstanding coach, and I’d highly recommend him to golfers of any skill level.”

Benjamin Tibbs is a results-driven golf coach with over 25 years of experience in the game, dedicated to helping golfers unlock real, lasting improvement while keeping the game enjoyable and sustainable. With a foundation rooted in Junior PGA competition, Benjamin brings both the mindset of a player and the precision of a coach—understanding not only what to change, but how to build the confidence to execute it under pressure. Benjamin coached at GOLFTEC (Irvine, CA), where his instruction emphasized measurable improvement through modern golf performance systems—combining structured lesson plans with technology-supported feedback such as high-speed video analysis, 3D motion capture, and launch monitor ball-flight data. This data-driven approach helps golfers move beyond guesswork, turning “feel” into “real” and creating a clear roadmap for progress. In addition to his coaching background, Benjamin is a certified Stack & Tilt Network instructor, trained in a complete swing system designed around consistent fundamentals and a shared language between golfer and coach. Stack & Tilt focuses on building predictable contact, controlling low point, and creating a repeatable motion that holds up across clubs and playing conditions—making it especially effective for golfers who want consistency rather than “quick fixes.” Benjamin’s coaching style is direct, structured, and highly personalized. Every student receives a roadmap tailored to their body type, athletic profile, and goals—whether the focus is breaking 100, building a reliable draw, increasing driver distance, sharpening wedge play, or lowering handicap through better ball striking. At the core of Benjamin’s philosophy is a simple belief: great golf is built, not found. He specializes in helping golfers replace inconsistency with clarity—so they leave each session knowing exactly what to practice, why it matters, and how it translates to the course.

"I started golfing 6 months ago and had gone through multiple golf instructors from the local golf course at Oak Creek to PGA Superstore and more without able to get concrete feedback and analysis from my lessons. After hearing about Golftec from a friend and reading some reviews, I decided to go in for a swing analysis with Ben Tibbs. I immediately saw the value and benefit of the technology they use showing you not only what you're doing right or wrong but also what the pros are doing right. I immediately signed up for a 6 month lesson plan with Ben. In less than 10 lessons with Ben (one of which was a putting lesson), I have gone from the plagued "out to in" swing path to a consistent and more confident "in to out" swing path; allowing me to finally draw the ball! The biggest benefit above hitting the ball better and farther is having a more effortless and easy on my body swing (and less frustrating). People spend a lot of money on golf equipment but if you really want to play this game long term, invest in a coach. To think even Tiger, Kobe, Jordan, and Serena had coaches at the peak of careers, we can definitely use a coach to accelerate us on the learning curve. I appreciate Golftec because unlike just taking lessons on a range, you have video feedback, and detailed analysis/breakdown of what's working and not working in YOUR own swing. Not to mention it's at a fraction of the price of range instructors. Ben has been an amazing instructor. He's very experienced, knowledgeable, and patient; three traits needed for a great coach. He's very methodical in his approach by teaching you sequentially different ways to feel each aspect (position) of your swing. Don't go in thinking you can "fix" your swing in one day or week because there are a total of 10 positions making up your swing. Ben expertly broke it down so well that I now have a real playable golf swing!

Hi! My name is Nicole Lopez! I have been playing golf for 10 years and teaching for 3.

My goal is to grow the game of golf through knowledge and skill all while making it fun and exciting. i want to make golf accessible for all age types and skill levels.

Hi I’m Ronald! I am an incoming college freshman who is trying to uplift and help any golfers who are not yet confident with their game. I just came off of 4 years of Varsity high school golf experience and 3 years straight of division 1 high school competition experience. This past year my team was ranked in the top 10 in CIF-SS playing the best of the best teams in California. My handicap is a 1.4 overall on USGA. However, this past season of high school golf I had a handicap of +1.085 on CIF-SS through ~30 matches. I was also within the top 150 out of 3,670 listed CIF-SS high school golfers. I have experience coaching peers new to the game and assisting fellow teammates who already understand the game. I provide valuable feedback and knowledge of your swing, short game, and putting. Not only that, but we will dissect course management and mental skills in order to shave off some strokes. Let’s get to work!
