Private Lessons & Coaches in Avon Park, FL
These coaches teach at top ranked spots and have great lesson fulfillment & student reviews.
I bring 19 years of experience playing and learning the game of golf, with a background as a college-level athlete and collegiate golf team player, and extensive competitive experience. During high school, my team qualified for the state championships, and during that same period I competed in high-level matches, including a head-to-head match against Sam Horsfield, giving me early exposure to elite competition and pressure situations. While I have a strong understanding of the technical side of the golf swing, my teaching approach is not overly technical. I’m a feel-based player, and just like I play the game, I teach it—focusing on feel, awareness, and simple keys that translate naturally to the course. I believe great golf comes from understanding what to feel, not being overloaded with mechanics. A major part of my instruction focuses on the mental side of the game, which I believe is often overlooked. I’ve studied golf psychology extensively, including Bob Rotella’s golf psychology work, and I help students develop confidence, commitment, and trust under pressure. I’ve worked with golfers of all skill levels, helping students improve ball-striking, consistency, confidence, and course management. Every lesson is tailored to the individual, emphasizing changes that are easy to understand, repeat, and hold up on the course. My goal is simple: help you play better golf on the course, not just hit good shots on the range. If you’re serious about improving and want coaching that blends experience, feel-based instruction, and a strong mental approach, I’d love to work with you.

As a Human Process Specialist, my work aligns seamlessly with golf psychology because both are deeply rooted in mindset, process, and the ability to navigate challenges with purpose. In golf, as in life, success isn’t just about physical skill—it’s about mental discipline. Each shot requires focus, presence, and the ability to let go of previous failures, whether it’s a missed putt, a poor drive, or a tough hole. Here’s how my approach connects to the mental game of golf: Process Over Outcome Golfers often lose themselves in focusing on results rather than the shot at hand. I emphasize trusting the process over chasing immediate gratification—mirroring the golfer’s need to focus on each stroke rather than the final score. Failure as Feedback A missed shot in golf, much like failure in life or business, provides valuable feedback for growth. I guide others to reframe failure as an opportunity to adjust and improve, just as a golfer must analyze their mistakes, reset their mindset, and approach the next shot with clarity. Emotional Resilience Golf is as much about managing emotions as it is about technique. I help people accept setbacks, maintain composure, and move forward. On the course, this translates to staying calm after a bad shot and not letting frustration derail the entire round. Consistency in Approach Golf demands consistency, not perfection—just as growth in life and business requires consistency in process. I empower individuals to adopt habits, rituals, and systems so they show up with the same steady mindset, regardless of circumstances. Perspective and Presence Golf, like life, is a game of perspective. I teach that failure is often success in disguise, and success is about seeing and seizing opportunity. On the golf course, maintaining perspective allows players to stay present, adapt to challenges, and view each shot as a chance to succeed. By blending my 35 years of playing golf with human process mastery, I help golfers—whether amateur or professional—achieve mental clarity, emotional stability, and a deeper connection to their game. Much like navigating life’s waves, golf is about trusting the process, staying resilient, and finding joy in the journey.

Phillip
Teaching golf for the past 15 years and playing for 25+. Comfortable working with beginners and all the way to scratch golfers. I’m excited to help you improve your game. I also focus on golf etiquette, the absolute do's and do not's of the game. It's ALL about the ability to avoid trouble and capitalize from good positions. But the game inside the game is chipping and putting. I won the 1986 Strolo Farms Cup in Ocala, FL And won the 1995 Hillsborough county Sheriff's department Mounted Posse /Lykes Shoot Out Tournament in Plant City, FL I love the game and its history, and I'll do everything I can to preserve it!
"Mike came with distance issues between irons and a weak fade. I adjusted his grip. Changed his ball positions and over the course of a few weeks, he found the "bottom" of his swing. The last time I worked with Mike the weak fade was gone. He was striking the ball much better with authority!

Hi, I’m Kelsie, and basketball has been a huge part of my life for over 20 years! I’ve played everywhere from local courts to traveling across the Northeast—competing in Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New York. The game has taught me so much about teamwork, leadership, and perseverance, and I’m passionate about sharing those lessons with others. As a coach, I’ve worked with a boys’ 14U AAU team, coached through I9 Sports, and offered private lessons to players of all ages. Whether it’s fine-tuning shooting mechanics, building court awareness, or boosting confidence, I love helping athletes take their game to the next level while having fun along the way. Let’s work together to make every practice count and every player shine!
