Hello! I’m Seth. I love playing and teaching others golf. I have 16 years of golfing experience starting with high school competitive play and lessons with several coaches. Anything golf related you want to know, I should have the answer. I focus on swing fundamentals, theory, and game management. For absolute beginners, the goal is to never miss the ball. For the more intermediate players, the goal is to develop a consistent repeatable shot pattern. For advanced players, the goal is to be able to shape the ball on command and control ball flight.
"Seth is amazing! I totally recommend him, I started with the basic stuff and it’s been a constant improvement. I already hit the course after a month or so of weekly classes and even though it was nerve racking at the beginning as the game progressed I was more confident with my game!
