Riley Michaelis has been teaching and coaching for 9 years. After graduating from the Golf Academy of America in San Diego in 2014, Riley was immediately hired by the popular destination golf school “Golf Made Simple.” Riley rapidly worked his way up to lead coach, honing his skills, teaching thousands of hours of lessons to golfers of all levels. Riley’s approach is to help players learn the feel of their natural golf swing. Riley helps players truly understand the cause and effects of the golf swing that enhance ball contact and ball flight. Riley emphasizes an even blend of feel and technique, without creating information overload.
"I am a 15 handicap, twice a week golfer. I also spend at least 2 days a week at the range. A few weeks ago, I was watching Riley give lessons to a bunch of kids and they all seemed to swing better better than I do. We struck up a conversation and he really seemed to know what he was talking about, so right then and there, when he finished with the kids, I took my first lesson. He straightened out my weight shift and I was immediately a better golfer. Today, I took my second lesson. Now, I have taken many golf lessons in my life and seen some good and not so good results. Today, working with a new forward press and wrist cock position at address, I was hitting the ball 10 to 15 yards further with EVERY club! Yes, Every club!! This guy knows his stuff!!

What do coaches say about teaching kids and youth?
Coach Michael
golf coach
With kids it's all about fun. From putting games to hitting a ball on the range, enjoying the experience is always my key focus. Proper golf manners and learning how to work with others is also important when picking up the game, as I have learned myself. These lessons go far beyond the golf course and that is my overall goal when working with kids. Patience and gentle persistence is my main approach to achieve this.
