Ricardo Terlaje, national team player, has proudly represented his country in numerous high-level amateur events. I use one the #1 swing training aids (pro sender) created Sean foley (past coach of Tiger Woods) and David Woods. { I have a simplified 3 part swing training to make any golfer better at the game. After proper stance and positioning I have simplified the entire swing to 3 easy steps} With a specialization in the short game, Ricardo's skills on the golf course have garnered admiration and respect from his peers. His dedication and passion for the sport shine through in every swing, inspiring those around him to strive for excellence in their own game.

It was great working with Ricardo. I’m a beginner golfer and Ricardo was patient with me and he helped me focus on working on the fundamentals. After my first lesson, I saw improvement in my swing. I look forward to continuing to work with him 👍.

Outstanding Golf Instruction from Ricardo – Highly Recommended
As someone who had never played golf before—aside from one round of mini golf over 20 years ago—I wasn’t sure what to expect when I signed up for lessons. From the very first lesson, Ricardo exceeded all expectations. His patience, deep knowledge of the game, and exceptional teaching skills helped me progress from a complete beginner to someone who now understands proper stance, swing fundamentals, and how to make solid contact with the ball.
Ricardo has a remarkable ability to break down complex movements into simple, achievable steps. He creates a supportive learning environment that builds confidence, making each lesson both productive and enjoyable. Whether you’re a total novice like I was or an experienced golfer looking to refine your game, I highly recommend Ricardo for players of all levels. You won’t find a more dedicated or skilled golf professional.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonGrip & Setup
* Grip: Practice a neutral interlock grip (left hand, right hand, and thumb position). Get a good feeling for a proper grip.
* Posture: Work on proper stance and posture (feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly flexed, spine straight).
*Swing path: without hitting balls well work on swing path.
Lesson 11+* Well also start video swing analysis so that you can visualize your swing and it will make it easier for both of us to make improvements on the swing.
* I am also open to targeting any weaknesses in your game at the time. (Putting, short game, irons, woods, driver, mental)
Lesson 4-10*We’ll make sure all the fundamentals are correct.
* I’ll start tailoring basic drills that are specific to what you may be struggling with.
Lesson 2-3* We’ll focus on the basic backswing and make sure you have knowledge on proper take back and backswing.
* Once we have the correct backswing fundamentals down then we can start working on the proper mechanics for the downswing. (Proper full turn with activating the the lower body and hips to generate power and consistency)
