Welcome to Golf Lessons by P. Kollar, where passion meets precision in the charming city of Fountain Valley, CA. Mile Square Golf Club is my home course, where you’ll often find me working on my game. As a dedicated golf instructor, I specialize in offering a personalized coaching lesson in golf. Whether you're a beginner eager to learn the basics and fundamentals of the game or intermediate player aiming to refine your overall golfing ability, the lessons I implement are designed to enhance your overall golf game, while most importantly helping you to enjoy your time spent practicing. As a graduate of Golf Academy of America, Carlsbad, California (sadly no longer in business), I studied the psychology of golf, complex teaching and course management. I also learned how to build a set of golf clubs as well as mastering the complex rules of golf, and the overall fundamentals of how to coach and instruct students. During my 2 years at GAA, I quickly excelled, making the competitive Club Golf Team. I came to learn that there are no two identical golf swings. It is my job to assist you to find the mechanically correct way to improve your swing and develop your short game. Whenever you’re ready to lower that scorecard, I’m ready to coach you!

"That lesson sparked a fresh grip change and clear goals, plus I can feel the swing staying steadier. A few head-still, weight-shift drills will really lock it in, and I’m excited to continue.

Briana Esparza was the head coach of the Girls Varsity Golf team at Providence High School in Burbank, California, having joined the athletics department in July 2024. With a strong background in education and mental health treatment, Briana combines her passion for teaching with her love of golf to inspire young athletes. She has a strong ability to get anyone started in their journey with golf.

"I appreciate Briana’s approach, she really emphasized that small adjustments can lead to noticeable improvements, which was pretty helpful. Though I still have some work to do on my accuracy and consistency, her calm style keeps things manageable, and the focus on making golf enjoyable rather than stressful resonated with me. Still, I’m optimistic about building on what I learned so far and perhaps trying another lesson soon.

"One of the best parts of the lesson with Mark was gaining some hands-on experience on the court. The session felt engaging and practical, helping me get more comfortable with the game. If you’re curious about pickleball or looking to improve your skills, Mark’s lessons are definitely worth trying out. It’s a great way to learn and have fun at the same time! 🙂
