Shawn Kelly profile
About Shawn

I have been a PGA Professional since 1993 and have dedicated over 25 years to teaching in the Sacramento and Auburn areas. A proud graduate of San Jose State University, I bring a wealth of playing experience to my instruction, including being a 6-time NCPGA Player of the Year and competing in prestigious events such as the 1996 US Open, three PGA Championships, and the victorious 2000 PGA Cup Team in Wales, where I represented the United States. Throughout my career, I have shared my Basic and Balance approach to golf with thousands of students, including juniors who have gone on to earn college scholarships. My teaching philosophy emphasizes the importance of playing the game and achieving consistency on the course. Students learn not only the fundamentals of the golf swing but also how to apply them effectively for lower scores. I tailor my instruction to each individual’s capabilities, helping them improve while gaining a deeper understanding of their unique swing.

What do coaches say I need to bring to my lesson?

Range balls, a golf glove and comfortable clothing to participate in the lesson.

Coach Bryan

In beginning you can just have a basic set of clubs with decent grips. Having the right equipment for your state of learning is important. Get what you can afford at the level you are playing. Once you can hit the ball consistently, we will discuss getting fitted for equipment. That’s a real game changer. Wear comfortable clothes and a glove if you want, shoes should supportive for weight transfer during swing with good traction, otherwise it’s better to swing with bare feet.
