I’m Goms . My specialty is turning “Wait, what do I do?” into “Oh wow, that actually went forward.” I teach brand new golfers because that’s where the best stories happen through the chaos of their first swings. The kids, the adults, and the brave souls who show up holding the club upside down. I live for the moment your swing finally behaves and we both look at each other like, “Did you see that?” If you’re curious about golf and ready to learn, mess up, and accidentally hit a perfect shot, I’m your coach. Worst case, we laugh. Best case, you crush it. Win-Win situation. Let’s gogoGolf !
"Very helpful and patient.

My goal is always the same – to make sure that fun and improvement go hand in hand for everyone. So, whether you're picking up a paddle for the first time or aiming to dominate the court, I'm here to make it happen. Let's dive into this journey together!

I have been playing pickleball since early 2022 and received my PPR Associate Coach certification in June of 2023. Positive feedback from students reflect that I have a knack for easily explaining the rules of the game and can teach technique to beginners and intermediates in a fun and informative way. I have prior teaching experience in dance and gymnastics as a young adult. I have trained extensively at camps and clinics lead by numerous instructors and Pros, including Tyson McGuffin, Susannah Barr, Zac Taylor Lisa & Wayne Dollard, and Bobby Phoumy. Pickleball fondly reminds me of my younger days playing badminton and ping pong. I really enjoy sharing valuable information to inspire others to learn and find happiness in mastering this super fun sport for all ages. I have recently received an additional PPR certification, specializing in pickleball youth development geared for students age 6 through teens.
