"I’ve been taking lessons with Coach Chae for a few months now, and the progress I’ve made is incredible. Before working with him, my golf game felt frustrating—I struggled with consistency and often felt unsure about my swing mechanics. Coach Chae helped me break down my swing into manageable parts and focused on building solid fundamentals. What I appreciate most is his patient coaching style. He takes the time to watch my swing carefully and gives detailed feedback without rushing. His drills are practical and directly translate to better performance on the course. Since starting with Coach Chae, my ball striking has improved significantly, and I’ve lowered my scores by several strokes. My putting and short game have also seen great improvement thanks to his targeted practice routines. I now approach each round with more confidence and a clearer understanding of how to play smart golf. Coach Chae is definitely the coach you want if you’re serious about improving and enjoying the game more.

I’m a lifelong golfer based in Los Angeles, specializing in helping players of all levels get the most out of their game — from first-time players to tournament competitors. Whether you’re looking to: • Get out on the course for the first time • Finally break 80 (or 90) • Master a consistent short game • Learn new shot types (draw, cut, stinger, punch, high soft landing) • Or approach the game with a competitive mindset… I’ll meet you where you’re at — and build your game from the ground up or elevate it with small, powerful adjustments. What sets my coaching apart: • Short game specialist with a personally developed chipping & pitching training program • Decades of hands-on experience: player, caddy, greenskeeper, coach • Deep course strategy coaching – I can even walk through a round with you as your caddy • I adapt to your swing style – not the other way around The majority of my work is with adults, but I love coaching kids too — reach out and let’s get started!

"I am a beginner and Riley got me out on the course for the first time. I’m feeling really confident, especially around the greens. With his guidance, I am sinking putts and even chipped the ball in on my first hole!
