Barn Bar Golf - Vacaville, California

Bio: ****NOTE: FOR EVERY ADULT SESSION, A SOLANO COUNTY JR RECEIVES A FREE SESSION**** For the past 20 years, I have been coaching and instructing many of the top golfers in Solano County. I firmly believe that "great players make great coaches." Here are some of my esteemed references: Aaron Beverly: Aaron has competed on the PGA, APGA, and Canadian Tours. During his time at Sac State, he broke numerous records and has won on the APGA Tour. He holds several course records, including a 59 at Rancho Murieta. Easton Hether: Currently a sophomore at Cal State East Bay, Easton has already secured first-place finishes in tournaments and was named the 2023 Conference Freshman of the Year. Anthony Del Dotto: A Class A PGA Professional and graduate of PGA/PGM New Mexico State, where he was a Jones Cup Champion. Mark Mills: Operations Manager at Jelly Belly. Mark improved from shooting over 100 to breaking 90 in just months through dedication to my 'Five Keys Method.' Although I now coach part-time, I have spent the past 20 years coaching and instructing for The City of Fairfield, Holy Spirit Middle School, and most recently, the Vacaville High Bulldogs. More than 10 of my students have gone on to play at the college level. But one of my proudest accomplishments is every junior player I have coached that went on to play in high school made their varsity squad as freshmen. Throughout these two decades, I have developed "The Five Keys" method of rapid learning. While I have specialized in instructing juniors with aspirations to play at the highest level, this method is designed for players who cannot dedicate hours each day to practice. The Five Keys Method focuses on accelerating progress without requiring extensive practice time. The Five Keys has consistently proven its effectiveness over the years, and I take great satisfaction in helping golfers achieve their personal goals, whatever they may be.

Bio: Elliot was born and raised in Northern California one of six children. Growing up the values of perseverance, hard-work and family first were established and there was no gain without sacrifice and unrelenting diligence in every aspect of life. It was these values, which formed the foundation of a life-long quest of becoming a professional golfer. Elliott excelled in many sports, but in June 1998 he was introduced to golf and his life was forever changed. He made the varsity team as a freshman and excelled winning multiple league competitions and section tournaments to include Vacaville City Championships 2 out of 4 years. In his senior year he qualified for Nor Cal Finals. After graduating from high school, Elliott devoted himself to making his dream of being a professional golfer a reality. He understood early on this path required hard work and perseverance as it would involve enduring trials, frustration and defeats but, his success was certain if he never gave up. He began playing in the Hooters Tour honing his skills and eventually moved on to playing in both the Pepsi and Players Tours. He had multiple wins in both tours, the first at the age of 17. He continued to hone his skills and qualified for the US Pro Golf Tour by finishing 2nd place during Qualifying School. In 2008, 2011 and 2019 he qualified for The Mackenzie Tour/PGA Tour Canada. In 2016 he won multiple NCPGA Section Events, but in July his dream became even more tangible. He qualified for 1 of only 4 spots in the PGA Barracuda Championship! Since Covid happened and changed the world, as we know it, Elliott began a journey into club fitting and instruction. He was able to join a team at Kepler’s Golf Shop in Walnut Creek, CA who are ranked as one of the Top 100 Club Fitters in the U.S. He has learned from some of the best fitters in the country who have been doing golf club repair and golf club fittings for 40+ years! This is where he discovered how much he truly had to offer in helping someone get better at the game of golf, no matter what his or her experience is. It was being able to work at a state-of-the-art facility with top-level technology, working with people who have time-tested experience, that he decided to open up his own teaching facility, Paylormade Golf Academy! Golf is only one facet of his life! What you may not see at initial glance is, he is a loving family man, who has become a Girl-Dad for life, a genuine friend and he consistently chooses the needs of others over his own! This is why he should be helping people get better at a game that has so much to offer! It doesn’t matter where you are coming from, first day ever swinging a club to a player who is chasing their dreams, he has the experience in this game at the highest level and wants to help you obtain the goals you are striving for!
