Learn Golf with David

⭑5.0 (15)
💰$163 weekly lessons

My name is David and I have been playing the game of golf for 41 years with 23 of those years as a professional. During those 23 years, I have gained experience throughout the golf industry including playing mini tours and competing in the PGA Tour Q-School. Beyond my playing experience, I also have years of teaching experience at great facilities such as the PGA Tour Academy at the World Golf Hall of Fame, and currently teach out of The Yards at TPC Sawgrass. In conjunction with teaching, I have dedicated many years to learning club fitting and building while working for several major club companies as an on-course demo technician. My background as a top-level golf instructor, includes having had the honor to work with multiple PGA Tour players including US Open Champion and Players Champion Webb Simpson, 4x PGA Tour Winner Russell Henley and 2022 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year Cam Young. While I enjoy working 1 on 1 with the world's best, I get just as much joy working with amateur players of all abilities and ages. I tailor my instruction based on each individuals' strengths and weaknesses. I am able to do this due to my love of always learning more about the game. That love of learning golf has led me to acquire multiple certifications from golfs biggest names in instruction, including Titleist Performance Institute (Level 1, Golf 2 and Power 2), Aim Point Express Certified, K-Vest Certified, BodiTrak Ground Force Certified and Swing Catalyst Certified.

I have been an occasional golfer for 30 years, but finally decided to take a lesson. I signed up with Joe for the 4 month program and I cannot say enough positive things about it. Joe was easy to work with, professional and a good communicator. He not only improved my grip, approach, alignment and swing, but he fitted me for new golfs and made other equipment recommendations. The simulators at Golf ETC are awesome. After Joe taught me what to look for in the shot data I was able to analysis each swing on the range and make on-the-spot corrections. My 4 months are up and I can honestly say that I have dropped 10-12 strokes and I have a new found confidence on the course. Golf is way more fun in the fairways and hitting greens in regulation. I also want to thank David. He was not my coach but he was very knowledgeable and always helpful on days I came in for some range time. I also enrolled my two daughters (12 and 7 years old) in Golf ETC's golf camp. The girls had a blast and actually want to go play golf now.

I went to Golf Etc to meet with David, the teaching pro and owner. David is a very cordial and polite individual and really wanted to understand your goals and needs as a player. He was sincerely interested in making you a better player not collecting a check. When he says he could get me from a +8 down to scratch, I certainly believe him. He invested in some of the best technology on the market. The GolfTec franchise is far inferior to what David provided as far as feedback, drills, physiology of the swing and helping me to understand it all is the biggest part. Also to mention, he doesn't try mold everyone's swing into the same swing. Leaving GolfTec left me more confused and frustrated. Leaving David at Golf Etc made me super excited to reach another level of play. His packages cater to all levels. If you want to reach your goals as a golfer, big or small, and have the time to practice, no one is better to learn from! I highly recommend giving him a shot!

Dave provided, by far, the most comprehensive and most enjoyable putting clinic I have ever had. I started the day with very little confidence in my green reading ability and speed control. By the end of the day, I was reading/feeling the greens with confidence, making much better putting stokes, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute out there on the green. If the opportunity to attend one of Dave’s putting clinic opens up, I would highly recommend attending. Appreciate all your help, Dave!

Dave has been coaching our son for about 2 months, and I can’t believe how much he has improved in that short time. The progress he’s made is absolutely remarkable. And he loves Coach Dave. Really enjoys his lessons at Golf Etc. Dave has helped him become so much more confident and helped ignite his competitive fire. I’d highly recommend Dave and Golf Etc to anyone who wants the best instruction for their kids. We couldn’t be more pleased and impressed.

I took advantage of the free swing analysis lesson a few weeks back with RJ and am truly blown at how to the point the coaching was. He made sure to have a couple of key takeaways from the lesson so I wasn't working on too many things at once. When I was able to finally make it back on to the course, I felt more confident than ever with my control than ever. I highly recommend any player that's looking to improve their game to check out Golf ETC.
