Just want to teach you to crush the ball and go low. I’m a 23 year old kid that’s won on the SCPGA Jr. Tour trying to make enough money to compete in tournaments. I’ve been obsessed with the game of golf for over a decade and would love to share what I’ve learned to those wanting to take their game to the next level. Below are some of my swings and swings I have coached. Message for Junior rate.

"I’ve taken a few lessons with Jacob now and my swing has only improved. What I liked most is he helped me understand how to generate more power in my golf swing, which is something I’ve been wanting to improve on as an 51 year old golfer, and also how to get it out without putting strain on my body. He does a great job dumbing down concepts for someone like me to understand i.e. making analogies to other sports and for me that helps a lot since I did not grow up playing golf.
