My Swing StudioGolf Venue in San Carlos, CA

Hi, I’m Coach Hari! I have been coaching the Carlmont High School Varsity golf teams for the past 10 years, guiding players to multiple league championships. As a golf instructor for over 15 years, I’ve also had the privilege of coaching my daughter, who is currently playing Division I college golf on a full scholarship. With over 36 years of personal playing experience, I bring a deep understanding of the game to every lesson. Lessons are conducted at Swing Central GC, a dedicated studio equipped powered by Trackman, offering precise analysis and feedback for faster improvement. In addition to studio sessions, I also provide on-course playing lessons to help students apply their skills in real-world scenarios and improve their course management. I am passionate about helping students of all ages and abilities improve all aspects of their game and, most importantly, lower their golf scores. Areas I focus on include: Short Game Mastery (putting, chipping, pitching); Long Game Skills (ball striking, driving distance, and accuracy); Mental Performance (staying focused and confident); Course Management (strategy and decision-making); Green Reading (improving putt success); Most importantly, I strive to make golf fun and rewarding! Whether your goal is to shoot lower scores, gain more confidence on the course, or simply enjoy this wonderful game of a lifetime, I’m here to help you every step of the way.

"My son showed interest in golf this past summer before starting high school, and while searching for lessons we came across Coach Hari. He is an amazing human who also happens to be a fantastic coach. He truly understands young players—not just their age, but their skill level as well. Hari has truly impacted my son’s game, not only building his confidence but also his skills. My son has learned so much from him and recently made the high school team. We’re excited to continue this journey with Hari and highly recommend him! Kelly K

My name is Blake Hathcoat. I have played golf for 20 years, and played Division 1 golf at Saint Mary’s College. After school, I turned professional and played on many tours including PGA Tour, Korn Ferry Tour, and PGA Tour Canada. I have been coaching for over 5 years, with students from juniors to professionals. My philosophy is centered on tailoring instruction to each student’s swing and strengths. Let’s get to work!

"Blake has really helped me with my driver, which I was struggling with. He also really helped with my short game a putting. We went on the course, which was a big help because he could show me where my strategy was lacking.

"I had the pleasure of working with Eric Guzman through PGA HOPE. I can honestly say he is an outstanding golf instructor. He brings a rare combination of patience, clarity, and thoughtfulness to every lesson. No matter my skill level or frustration, Eric explains things in a way that is easy to understand and always takes the time to make sure I truly grasp each concept. His skill and knowledge of the game are evident, but what really sets him apart is his consistency—every lesson feels structured, focused, and productive. I always leave with a clear plan, useful feedback, and confidence in my progress. If you’re looking for an instructor who not only knows the game inside and out but also genuinely cares about your improvement, I highly recommend Eric Guzman.
