Bio: Lifelong Golfer. Medical Device Salesman Turned Golf Coach. Passionate both about the game of golf, and the art of instruction.

Bio: I am a highly skilled and certified professional specializing in the game of golf, and I am on the National Registry of Professional Golf Instructors.

Bio: Hi there, I'm Blaise! A seasoned golfer carrying a scratch handicap, and a tech entrepreneur by profession. My lifelong affair with the game has not only allowed me to master the nuances of golf but also share my knowledge with budding golfers. Over the years, I've honed my teaching skills having given over 1,000 detailed lessons. My approach to teaching golf revolves around nailing the basics first, and then progressively moving onto the more intricate details of the game that fit your natural swing. Golf is hard to learn on your own. Many aspects of the game are counterintuitive and often times up means down, right means left...etc. I'll help you skip years of frustration trying to learn these concepts, and get you hitting the ball better than you thought possible. So, let's get started on this exciting journey, gradually improving your game from the fundamentals to the finer strokes, while having a blast. I teach out of a private golf simulator in Redwood City. If you're not familiar with a simulator, it's high end technology that captures every metric of both the ball and club. In my opinion, the golf simulator is the best way to work on your golf swing because you get so much more data than just hitting balls at the range. The simulator also includes a high speed camera that shows the club hitting the ball frame by frame. But mostly, it's just really cool and a lot of fun!

Bio: Greetings. I hail from the midwest, originally from Detroit and raised in Milwaukee. I attended the University of Wisconsin as a communication and music major. I've worn numerous hats in life: sportscaster, franchise owner, marketing professional, jazz musician and now a Master teaching golf professional. A lifelong athlete (baseball and hoops), I started playing golf in my late 20's. I developed a passion and love of the game studying it and achieving success over time. Taking a chance on myself, I pursued teaching in my 50's. It was the best decision of my life. Having learned the hard way (pre-YouTube era and as my own coach), my goal is to teach you the best fundamentals and cut your learning curve way down so YOU can enjoy this game sooner than later! I have lived in Northern California since 1995 and am the proud father of a son, step-dad to two great kids and now grandfather to a beautiful boy born in 2023. I have been with my wife since 2005 and without her love and encouragement, none of this would be possible. Plus she'd kill me if I didn't mention my love for her 😉 We are the proud parents of Lola the "Bugg" (Pug/Boston Terrier) and Coco the pug 🙂 I look forward to having the chance to work with you in the near future. Keep Swinging (hopefully inside to out)!

Bio: ***Not taking new lesson requests until October due to Caddy Season*** When over at Pebble Beach, I go by The Grounded Caddie #ELSinkO. I also sell golf clubs at Golf Galaxy during the off season. On top of being a life long golfer, my degree is in Biomedical Engineering so I have a deep sense of physics, anatomy, biomechanics & material science.

From there, I found boxing as an outlet from the biotech startup world and was on track to compete at USA Master's level before COVID/SIP hit. As such, I bring to you a unique, motivational mindset along with a full bag of training tips and drills to aid you, build you up, or dial you more into this beautiful game of golf. Heck, I can even fit you into new clubs! I am here today because my grandfather survived fighting as a Navy pilot in Guadal Canal. So my golf life started on the course they retired on up past Sacramento after he was a surgeon/GP in Los Gatos and a member of La Rinc. It was there I learned to swing free using his old persimmons. When I grew into my body as a teenager, I casually wacked it around NorCal hunting those big birds. It wasn't until I was working that I started playing weekly. My self-taught low round is 76 with 23 putts. Luckily, I also have 2 Hole-in-ones (Ko Olina #12*, TPC Stonebrae #13). My GHIN was down to a (10), but being a single parent with 2 young daughters has interrupted that at the moment. *Rental clubs 😎
