"My lesson with Joshua was really thorough, especially as a beginner. He covered everything from the tee to putting, and surprisingly, pointed out things I wouldn’t have noticed myself. He's patient and quite knowledgeable, which helped me feel comfortable. Though I still need to work on my body position and consistency, I’m optimistic about improving. Still, it’s a clear sign I should keep practicing and book another lesson with him.

Jesus
In keeping with the philosophy of Bobby Jones, the first person to capture all of golf’s major championships as an amateur, I believe that dedication and proper technique are essential for success in any endeavor. When you start playing competitivley you find that simply participating is not enough; one must strive to master the fundamentals and execute them correctly to fully appreciate and excel at the game of golf & life. Over the years I have dedicated tens of thousands of hours to the practice and implementation of the mechanics in the golf swing. This has granted me unique insights into the mental and technical aspects of playing well. I encourage a mindset of commitment and continuous improvement for myself and my students alike, regardless of one’s skill level.
"The lesson was quite helpful, especially in understanding how to better position my club. Joshua’s technique really clarified some of my earlier doubts, though I still need to work on my tempo to see consistent improvements. Still, I’m hopeful about applying these tips on the course. If you’re considering a lesson, Joshua’s approach is pretty solid, and I’d say worth trying out.

What do coaches say I need to bring to my lesson?
What do coaches say about teaching kids and youth?
Coach Justin
golf coach
Great question. When working with kids, the key is to simplify, gamify, and engage—while still building real skills. Here’s how to adapt your golf lessons for younger players (roughly ages 5–12): ⸻ Core Principles for Coaching Kids: 1. Make It Fun First • Use games, stories, or challenges (e.g., “hit the alien cone!” or “get out of the sand trap dungeon”) • Celebrate effort, not just results • Keep energy high and the mood light 2. Keep Instructions Simple • One concept at a time (e.g., “Big Y swing” for backswing shape) • Use clear, relatable analogies (“hold it like ice cream,” “feet like train tracks”) • Avoid overloading with mechanics 3. Short Attention Spans = Short Segments • Break lessons into 5–10 minute stations • Alternate between full swings, putting, chipping, and movement-based games 4. Use the Right Equipment • Shorter, lighter clubs (U.S. Kids Golf, SNAG, or junior sets) • Tees and balls they can hit easily • Big targets for instant success 5. Reinforce Success Visually • Use cones, hoops, pool noodles, and color targets • Scorecards with stickers or fun achievements • Build confidence with visible goals (“Can you hit the 10-point zone?”)
