Swing Central Golf ClubGolf Venue in Redwood City, CA

Hi, I’m Coach Hari! I have been coaching the Carlmont High School Varsity golf teams for the past 10 years, guiding players to multiple league championships. As a golf instructor for over 15 years, I’ve also had the privilege of coaching my daughter, who is currently playing Division I college golf on a full scholarship. With over 36 years of personal playing experience, I bring a deep understanding of the game to every lesson. Lessons are conducted at Swing Central GC, a dedicated studio equipped powered by Trackman, offering precise analysis and feedback for faster improvement. In addition to studio sessions, I also provide on-course playing lessons to help students apply their skills in real-world scenarios and improve their course management. I am passionate about helping students of all ages and abilities improve all aspects of their game and, most importantly, lower their golf scores. Areas I focus on include: Short Game Mastery (putting, chipping, pitching); Long Game Skills (ball striking, driving distance, and accuracy); Mental Performance (staying focused and confident); Course Management (strategy and decision-making); Green Reading (improving putt success); Most importantly, I strive to make golf fun and rewarding! Whether your goal is to shoot lower scores, gain more confidence on the course, or simply enjoy this wonderful game of a lifetime, I’m here to help you every step of the way.

"Hari does it for me! In about 25 minutes, he had me striking the ball with solid contact. I was an avid golfer but haven't played seriously in about 20 years. I am trying to pick the game back again. 20 years later, it is like 62 years now and 40 pounds heavier. No muscle memory, and bad hip rotation and weight transfer. Hari picks up the flaws and some quick drills later, and I am hitting them baby draws. great stuff, thank you.

"My lesson with Keith was quite helpful, especially because of how he broke down my swing and pointed out small adjustments that made a difference. Still, I think there's room to refine my approach further. It’s not an overnight fix. Still, the lesson definitely gave me some useful insights to work on. If you're after practical advice grounded in real golf terms, Keith is worth a try.
