Coaching built around your game
We start with you: what you want to accomplish, what your ball is doing and where you need more clarity. From contact and ball flight, we work back toward the setup and movement that will help you make a meaningful change.
A lesson can focus on full swing, wedge play, putting, short game or course strategy. The goal is to help you understand what to work on and how to practice it between sessions.
Adults and women
Build confidence, develop reliable skills and enjoy your time on the course. Coaching is personalized to your experience and goals, whether you’re new to golf or ready to take the next step.
Junior golfers
From learning the fundamentals to preparing for tournament golf, we’ll work on skills, purposeful practice and confidence. Explore private junior golf lessons in Raleigh, including rates and parent FAQs. I’m not currently offering Girls Golf events.
Competitive players
Bring more structure to your preparation. We can work on shot patterns, distance control, short-game decisions and the skills you need to take your practice into competition. Explore competitive golf coaching in Raleigh.
