"Lily was on-time to our scheduled lessons at a golf simulator in my apartment. She would explain, show, and then watch. I liked her coaching style where I spent most of the time hitting balls with live feedback. Would recommend to beginner to intermediate players.

Hi all - I’m looking for some new students for the winter season! It’s a great time to work on swing changes or learn the swing etc. I’ve had some great success over the years with winter training at the range and simulators to either work on the full swing or hone parts of the game. Chipping /putting short game or even speed training for those long drivers. Also breaking down the whole swing to get ready for spring. Tappan good center has a great set up all closed in with heaters or indoors at a sim. For preferably at the range where we can see direct results. Let me know I teach young /older newbies and or high level low handicappers! Thx Recently won first place with a teachme.to student at a local 9-hole scramble event. As an athlete throughout my life, with a background in college baseball, I found a deep love for golf that resonates with many of us. With over 20 years of experience, I have honed my skills in the game, achieving a handicap as low as -2 and currently maintaining a handicap of 3-4. Participating in numerous MGA, USGA, and amateur tour events, I have celebrated victories in a couple of tournaments. My expertise lies in the short game, an area where we can all improve and shave off valuable strokes. Recognizing the significance of course management and maintaining a sharp game, I offer comprehensive instruction in these aspects. Whether building a swing for new players or addressing specific issues and fixes, I am dedicated to helping you enhance your skills on and off the course. Let's work together to hit them straight - if only it were that easy! Any beginner looking for a golf etiquette class please reach out.

Will make you fit in and teach others. I will also hold a chipping and putting lesson during this 1hr class. Please sign up and let me know so we can dates and locations. Thanks

"Great expertise and great advice. Looking forward to more sessions

I got into pickleball after a few friends dragged me along to play. Now I’m hooked and absolutely love playing. I have taught many friends and newcomers how to play and excited to teach you.

"Brendan's lesson was quite helpful, especially in refining my dink shot technique, which I’d been struggling with. He explained how foot positioning can really make a difference, though I still have some work to do. Still, I’m optimistic about applying the tips he shared and hoping to improve further soon. If you’re looking to fine-tune specific skills, it’s worth giving Brendan a try.

I am 21 years old. I have been playing since I was 7 and have been coaching private tennis lessons for 3 years. I have also been coaching under other coaches simultaneously. I have a very hands on approach while teaching and emphasise footwork and fitness the most. Moreover, if I give you certain exercises to do, I usually do them with you because my motto is: If I can do it, so can you. Lastly, I strive to become a better player and coach every day.

"I would love if we could practice a bit more

"Sze’s lesson was quite good, really patient and knowledgeable. I appreciated how I could tell him what I wanted to work on, and he helped me improve my backhand. Honestly, I saw some progress, which was encouraging. I hope to keep playing pickleball in the future, though not right away, and I’d consider trying another lesson with Sze at some point.
