Hi! Iβm a former D1 collegiate golfer at Stanford University. Play to a +5 handicap and have a deep passion for coaching and a strong understanding of technique as well as application to improve. In my playing career, I was a top recruit and won many times as a junior as well as one collegiate win while I played at Stanford. Excited to help you get better!



Michael grew up in Cape Town, South Africa and started playing golf from a young age. He went to university in Georgia and after a decent college career turned pro and played the mini tours in Florida, then the Australian tour and South African Sunshine tour. After a couple of years as a playing professional, he went through the PGA training in the UK and became a teaching pro at Blackmoor GC in Southern England. Michael then took a job with well renown European Tour teacher, Jamie Gough at this golf school in Cape Town. Michael worked there for 3 years before moving to Europe and spending 8 years teaching in Germany and Switzerland before moving to America. Michael also spent time caddying/managing on the European Tour in the 2005, he has done 3 TPI classes through the Titleist Performance Institute as well as many other classes, courses to grow his knowledge. Michael enjoys teaching players of all skill levels from beginners to tour players. Michael still plays a lot of golf and you can find him tinkering with his swing or playing a variety of courses in his free time. He also loves to cook and explore the beauty of Northern California.
"Just finished my first lesson with Michael - canβt recommend him strongly enough. Great coach, very patient and knowledgeable.
