In keeping with the philosophy of Bobby Jones, the first person to capture all of golf’s major championships as an amateur, I believe that dedication and proper technique are essential for success in any endeavor.

"Great coach, my daughter had fun

I managed the girls' varsity tennis team for two years in high school, preparing them for matches and major competitions alongside the head coach. As a player, I competed in intense district and state-level matches on the boys' varsity team. Additionally, I recruited new members for both teams over the summer and dedicated several hours each week to match play.

"The lesson was very helpful. We’re still working mostly on my backhand as that’s one of my biggest weaknesses.

With over two decades of recreational tennis and ping pong experience, coupled with two years immersed in the world of Pickleball, I've cultivated a deep passion for racket sports. Transitioning into coaching, I've discovered a profound love for Pickleball and pursued full-time certification as a PPR instructor. My goal is simple: to share my enthusiasm for the sport and instill proper techniques, guiding players to their fullest potential on the Pickleball court.

"The coach was very nice and easy to work with. Came with all the necessary equipment to help guide me. Helped take videos so I could see for myself the issues with my form. Unfortunately, the location had a small hiccup with too many players and a small part of the lesson took part outside of a pickleball court. Other than that, the lesson itself was sufficient enough for me to start working on some of my bad habits.

With over 30 years of golf experience and 15 years dedicated to teaching, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to the game.

"Anneke's lesson was quite positive, especially with her being so encouraging when I made progress, which felt pretty motivating. Still, improving footwork is an area I hope will get more focus next time. Anyway, I think trying Anneke could be worthwhile if you're looking for a supportive instructor who helps you stay motivated.
