"I just had my first golf lesson with Coach Shaun and I couldn't be more impressed. As a complete beginner I was a little nervous coming in, but he was incredibly welcoming from the moment I arrived and made me feel right at home with the sport. He did a fantastic job covering all the basics without overwhelming me, breaking everything down in a way that was easy to understand and apply. What really stood out were the helpful tips and practice drills he gave me to work on between sessions, practical, simple, and beginner friendly. If you're just getting into golf and looking for a coach who genuinely meets you where you are, Coach Shaun is the one. I'll definitely be booking another lesson with him soon!

"Mr bates came on as coach with strong mission to make the best players he could 12 new youth had fun and are continuing to participate
I am an amateur golfer from China with 15 years of playing experience and have studied with five coaches. My best score is 80. I started learning the sport at the age of 40, and my athletic ability is quite average. While learning from different coaches, I noticed a problem: they are too professional and don't understand that our bodies, especially as we get older, simply can't turn as much as they require. Therefore, during my practice sessions, I rely on my own exploration to improve my performance. Many of the issues I encounter are common among amateur players, issues that professional coaches who have been playing since childhood have never faced. So, if you are a beginner, if you are someone who is getting on in years, or if you have average athletic ability, I might be able to teach you better than a professional coach could.

"I was only fortunate enough to know and work with David Byrne for a little over a month before he relocated to California, but that short time made a lasting impact on my game. I truly enjoyed his passion for golf and his genuine desire to help players get better. David often went out of his way to coach me between lessons whenever he wasn’t already busy teaching others—something I greatly appreciated. At 67 years old, I’m not looking to completely rebuild my golf swing, and David understood that from day one. His approach focuses on helping you find a swing thought that works for your swing, rather than forcing a onesizefitsall method. He helped me understand my swing plane and path, and how to consistently get into the right position before impact. After that, his favorite encouragement was always: ‘Turn the corner!’ And it worked. David is a talented instructor, an insightful coach, and an allaround good person. And watch out for his son—just a wee lad with a fabulous golf swing already! David’s passion clearly runs in the family.
More than a game, golf is a journey of precision, patience, and self-discovery. As a former D1 athlete with 30 years of experience, I'm passionate about guiding students of all levels to unlock their potential and find joy in this challenging sport.
