"My lesson with Mark was quite helpful, especially learning what I needed to make contact with the ball. Though, I still think there's room for improvement, but overall it was a solid experience and I guess I’ll keep working on what he showed me.

With almost 30 years of competitive golf experience and more than 5 years teaching the game of golf, I combine deep technical expertise with a hands on approach to help the student achieve the proper techniques used in the golf swing.  I use an everyday, practical teaching method to help my students understand the golf swing by using familiar daily movements.  Whether it’s tossing a cup of water over your shoulder or holding a tray like a waiter, these comparisons make complex motions easier to grasp.  I am currently a PGA Affiliate and plan to be be fully a certified member of the Professional Golf Association of America (PGA) by 2026.  I have a love and a passion for helping my students reach their full potential and am excited about introducing and expanding the game of golf to others.

"Errol's lesson was quite thorough, and I appreciated how he took the time to explain the reasoning behind each technique, which really helped my understanding.

If you're looking for a coach who genuinely prioritizes clarity in teaching, might be worth trying Errol.

"I'm honestly glad Ryan took his time and offered detailed feedback during the lesson. It really helped me focus on key aspects. Though I think there's still some room for refinement, I appreciate the thoroughness and the steady guidance he provides. If you're after someone who pays close attention to your game without rushing through, Ryan's worth considering.

I relish the challenges that golf presents and am particularly fond of utilizing indoor simulators in urban settings. Most importantly, I derive immense joy from imparting my knowledge and love for the game to others.

"I had a lesson with Quinn and, well, he’s definitely good at giving feedback but didn’t quite match my needs since he primarily works with beginners. Still, I appreciated the precise insights he offered on technique, though I feel I’d benefit from someone whose approach aligns more with my level and goals. Definitely worth a try if you're starting out or need straightforward guidance.
