"“I’ve been playing golf for over 10 years, and as an intermediate player, I was looking for a coach who could take my game to the next level. For the past three years, I’ve worked with Steven every week, either by traveling from Arizona for in-person lessons or through online coaching. His attention to detail, ability to identify small swing changes, and personalized approach have helped me continue improving year after year. No matter how I train with him, every lesson is productive and gives me something I can immediately take to the course. Steven is an outstanding coach, and I’d highly recommend him to golfers of any skill level.”

From Mini-Tour Grinder to Your Swing Coach Golf humbled me for years before it rewarded me. Two decades competing at the mini-tour level, chasing a swing that kept letting me down — until I finally understood why it works the way it does, not just what “felt right.” That shift took my game from grinding to a career-low round of 63. It took years to get there. I built my coaching so you won’t have to spend years figuring it out on your own. What a lesson with me actually looks like: You’ll see your own swing on high-speed camera — not my opinion of it, the actual mechanics on screen. We break down cause and effect together, so you leave understanding why something works, not just told to “trust it.” • 2,000+ lessons coached, competitive playing background • Bilingual coaching in English, Mandarin, and Burmese • Clear, honest feedback — no vague cues, no guesswork Every student walks away with real clarity and a next step they actually understand. That’s the whole point.

"Best coach i’ve ever worked with, super patient and a lot of attention to detail. Came prepared with his tools and started from the base of exploring my swing and then fixing it.
