Del Monte Golf Course

Bio: ***Now taking lesson requests for October - March*** When over at Pebble Beach, I go by The Grounded Caddie #ELSinkO. I also sell golf clubs at Golf Galaxy during the off season. On top of being a life long golfer, my degree is in Biomedical Engineering so I have a deep sense of physics, anatomy, biomechanics & material science. During my undergrad, I played D-1 water polo and club soccer. Eventually, I shifted to CrossFit where I achieved the top 33% in the world my first time competing in the 2016 Open. From there, I found boxing as an outlet from the biotech startup world and was on track to compete at USA Master's level before COVID/SIP hit. Since I have started coaching, I've worked one season with Stratford Charter School as an assistant coach, gained a Confidence Coach certification as well as an esoteric Gene Keys Guide authorization. If any interest in additional Game Of LiFe (G.O.L.F ) Consultation work for alignment with your True Self, inquiries accepted. #KnowThyShot As such, I bring to you a unique, motivational mindset along with a full bag of training tips and drills to aid you, build you up, or dial you more into this beautiful game of golf. Heck, I can even fit you into new clubs and putters! I am here today because my grandfather survived Guadal Canal WW2 battle fighting as a Navy pilot. So my golf life started on the course they retired on up past Sacramento after he was a surgeon/GP in Los Gatos and a member of La Rinc. It was there I learned to swing free using his old persimmons. When I grew into my body as a teenager, I casually wacked it around NorCal hunting those big birds. It wasn't until I was working that I started playing weekly. My self-taught low round is 76 with 23 putts. Luckily, I also have 2 Hole-in-ones (Ko Olina #12*, TPC Stonebrae #13). My GHIN was down to a (10), but being a single parent with 2 young daughters has interrupted that at the moment. *Rental clubs 😎

Bio: I embrace the adage that even if you know how to swing a club, you still have to learn how to play golf. Every great shot starts before you even address the ball, I bring 30 years of experience – honed from working and playing at some of the most exclusive golf clubs in the country. For the last 15 years I’ve been a caddy and have spent all my days teaching the golf swing as well as the more nuanced aspects of the game. My passion lies in not only refining your swing but in fostering a deep understanding of course management and the mental processes that will help you to be successful.
