My name is Matthew and I’m a professional golf instructor based in Colorado! My coaching approach is based on a system for teaching golf, uniquely designed to guide golfers at all levels - yes, even beginners will find themselves launching that ball skyward in our very first session together! Our lessons are more than just theory, they're filled with practical drills guaranteed to sharpen your skills and give you that satisfying feeling of consistent improvement. I can't wait to help you on your golfing journey! I’ve been in the golf industry for over 20 years, starting at a driving range in Illinois and ultimately working with Titleist fitting golfers from all over the world. Are you a better player who has plateaued with their game? I can help you. If you are a first time golfer, I am highly skilled with beginners, from pro athletes taking up the game for the first time, to the CEO’s wife wanting to either learn or FINALLY be able to hit the ball in the air. I also speak fluent Spanish, hold a single digit handicap and have two hole-in-one’s to my name. I have played some of the world’s best golf courses and look forward to making your golf dreams come true!!
"Wow, I found the lesson quite useful, especially playing on that high-end simulator where I got to see my ball speed and swing direction in real time. Still, I think increasing the muscle memory of my golf swing could really help me build more consistency over time. Though, I left feeling confident about what needs work, and I might try some specific drills to reinforce what I learned. Matthew’s approach was steady and informative, and I’d say it’s worth giving him a try if you’re looking to refine your game.
As a former Division 1 golfer at The Ohio State University, golf has been integral to my life for over 12 years. With a scratch handicap and a peak performance of +4, I've honed my skills to excel on the course. Instructing part-time for the past 5 years, I've discovered a deep passion for teaching golf and sharing my knowledge with others. Whether coaching beginners or fine-tuning the skills of experienced players, my goal is to help each find their love for the game and unlock their full potential on the fairways.
"Awesome first lesson
With decades of experience playing and approaching a decade of coaching, I am deeply immersed in the world of golf. A member of the Colorado Golf Association and boasting a USGA GHIN Handicap in the single digits. I'm now focusing on helping others. From receiving repeat special invitations to prestigious events like the Golfweek US Senior Challenge to participating in PGA-sanctioned events, I've now transitioned into coaching. Hailing from Ventura County, CA, I developed an enduring love for the game from a young age. Today, I find myself even more passionate about golf, honored to coach others professionally. With patience and understanding, I tailor my instruction to each golfer's unique learning style, swing, and goals, ensuring the easiest route to success. Whether you're a seasoned player or just starting out, I'm here to help you elevate your game and follow your passion for golf.
"I felt there was ample time during the lesson, which let me really focus on specific areas like making my swing more natural, though I think more iron improvement is needed. It's encouraging to see such patience and attention to detail from James, and I might come back to work on those consistency issues. Still, I appreciated the relaxed pace, which made practice feel manageable and less stressful. If you're open to gradual progress with a calm, supportive approach, I’d consider trying James.

"Jeremy really knows how to analyze my golf techniques and makes improvements feel natural and easy to grasp. My game’s gotten much more relaxed and confident, especially with my shots feeling more effortless. Still, I’m hoping to work on my back swing and follow-through to get a little more distance. If you’re looking to refine your technique without overcomplicating things, Jeremy’s a good option to consider.
With 28 years of experience, I've cultivated a coaching style rooted in fundamentals and tailored to individual needs. As a former college golfer, I'm dedicated to helping students unlock their full potential and foster a lifelong love for the game.
"I loved how Harris explained why my drives often veer to the right and showed me how to adjust for a straighter shot. The clear guidance made a big difference in my swing. If you want to improve your driving skills, Harris’s lessons are definitely worth trying!
250+ lessons taught. Attended golf management school. I love the sport and can't wait to share my knowledge with you to get you out on the course!
"Great help with Iron shot technique and got me confident with my driver again. Daniel is a really chill guy too.

"Mitch has been wonderful in our group lesson with varying skill levels.
I’ve had the privilege of playing both college and professional golf, which has shaped my approach as a PGA Teaching Professional. With over 30,000 lessons taught, I’ve worked with golfers of all levels to improve their game. My teaching credentials include certifications from the Titleist Performance Institute, U.S. Kids Golf, GOLFTEC, Chuck Cook, and Stack and Tilt. I’m dedicated to using my experience and training to help players reach their full potential on the course.
"I'm very happy with how all my lesson have been, especially since I learned to control ball direction that includes how to intentionally draw or fade my shot. Though I need to work on my weight forward and eventually increasing my distance, I feel more confident about controlling ball shape now. I need a bit more practice getting through the ball consistently, but I think with Johns suggestions I’m seeing real progress. If you're working on improving ball striking and specific shot shaping, get with John Wagner. I have made significant progress in just 4 lessons. I’ve taken numerous lessons from multiple pros over many years and John is the best coach I’ve ever worked with.
Fueled by a lifelong passion, I bring 25 years of golf expertise, from a D1 athletic career to coaching. I offer personalized instruction to unlock your full potential, blending technical skills with a fun, engaging approach. Let's elevate your game!

Jaden is a PGA Class A certified instructor who studied at Coastal Carolina University's prestigious Professional Golf Management (PGM) program. After graduating in December 2023, Jaden officially became a PGA member in February. With over a year of teaching experience, Jaden brings both passion and expertise to the lesson tee, helping golfers at all levels refine their skills and enjoy the game.
"Jaden is great! Super patient and gives great feedback throughout the lesson. I highly recommend!
Every aspect of what I do, I customize to the student. I think mass golf instrcution (magazines, tv, etc.) causes significantly more confusion than progress. As a coach, my job is to understand you and your leaning style. It allows me to give you meaningful cues that will have a lasting impact. I don't approach coaching any two students in the same way. I want to understand what golf means to you and how much time and energy you have to be able to get to your goals. I want to know what is going to make you feel like this is a successful partnership and what kind of program is going to help you succeed in getting there. I truly enjoy connecting with people. I seek to make a personal connection with every person I work with. It helps me serve as a better coach and keeps me more connected to the people that I work with. I want to help people succeed and show them that they are capable of much more than they think...
"I've been playing golf for over 50 years, mostly on a self-taught basis but with sets of private, one-on-one lessons and golf school group lessons from time to time. All of the lessons were helpful, but I always found it easy to return to my ingrained swing rather than working on new things. But when I started playing less in the past year, my swing fell apart and my handicap soared from 7.5 to 19, and I knew it was time to get serious about building a better swing, one that I would stick with. So I decided to take a series of full-swing lessons. I interviewed several local teaching professionals and chose Brad Alston, the PGA Director of Instruction at the PGA Learning Center at Park Hill. My choice was made primarily based on Brads friendliness, approachability, calm demeanor, and willingness to talk fairly extensively with me (before I had made a decision about which teaching pro to choose) about how he proposed to go about working with me. I couldn't be happier with my choice. After watching me hit fewer than five balls, Brad immediately identified several key items he wanted me to focus on (my too-inside takeaway, too-long backswing, and overly quick tempo and swing speed). And he also offered a solution that he wanted me to try: what he called your 50-yard swing, the idea being that a much smoother and more controlled swing would result in much greater consistency. Brad was 100% correct, and as often happens with lessons, I showed immediate improvement during the first lesson itself and subsequent lessons. I was able to continue that improvement on the range between lessons, a process helped quite a bit by Brad emailing to me his detailed lesson notes following each lesson. Taking my encouraging improvement from the range to the first tee (I think Brad calls this the longest walk in golf) has been a challenge, given how ingrained my bad habits of a lifetime are, and that's one reason I'm glad I've taken a full series of lessons. When I've gone back for a lesson following a not particularly good round, wondering why I cant repeat my range performance on the course, Brad is always positive and encouraging (and when he doesn't see me at the range or hear anything from me for a while, he checks in by email to see how I'm doing). When he sees continuing problems, he suggests various swing thoughts and drills to improve those problems. And when he feels I am progressing and thus can effectively absorb more instruction, he has given me that additional instruction. As I said above, I couldn't be happier with my choice of Brad as my teaching pro. And based on what I've observed when I've been nearby to Brad giving someone else a lesson, he seems to be really good with golfers of all different ability levels. Lastly, as a guy who started playing golf before I was a teenager and loves to see kids taking up and enjoying golf, Id be lying remiss if I didn't point out how much both Brad and the kids seem to enjoy the junior clinics that I know he spends a lot of time giving.
Transitioning into professional golf this year marks a significant milestone in my journey, fueled by a passion ignited during my baseball days and solidified when I shifted focus to golf in 2020. As part of Denver Golf Performance, I've had the privilege of coaching and playing alongside world-renowned Long Drive competitors and champions, honing my skills and expertise in the process. With a personal record drive of 425 yards this year, I'm committed to sharing my love for the sport and nurturing aspiring golfers to unlock their full potential. Building an enterprise dedicated to fostering full-time golfers is not just a dream but a mission I'm driven to fulfill, one swing at a time.
"The patience and applicable feedback was second to none.

Denver's high-altitude, low-humidity climate gives golfers something most cities can't: ball flight that travels noticeably farther than at sea level, plus around 240+ playable days a year and the dry winters that make outdoor lessons possible well into the shoulder seasons. The 6 active coaches (also called golf instructors) include a former Division 1 player from Ohio State, a retired Air Force veteran turned professional golfer, and a high-volume instructor with 336 reviews who anchors the local marketplace. Indoor simulator options like Strokes Gained and The Local Drive cover the deep-winter weeks when snow shuts down outdoor ranges, and public courses Indian Tree, Foothills, and CommonGround give Denver students real-course practice across the Front Range. The local concentration is wide enough that students can match coach background to specific goals - swing rebuild, scoring, or first-time fundamentals.
| Format | Participants | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private (1-on-1) | 1 student | $90-$180 / lesson | Fastest improvement, personalized feedback on each swing. |
| Pair or trio | 2-3 students | $45-$95 / person | Couples or close friends who want a shared, cost-split experience. |
| Small group | 4-6 students | $20-$50 / person | Lowest cost; less individual attention. Best fit for casual players or junior clinics. |
| Level | Frequency | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | Weekly | 60 min | First 4-6 sessions build the foundation - grip, stance, swing path, contact. |
| Intermediate | Every 1-2 weeks | 60-90 min | Players who can break 100 work biweekly on targeted skills - short game, putting, course management. |
| Advanced | Monthly | 90-120 min | Tournament-focused players work monthly on swing rebuilds and tournament prep, paired with self-driven range and simulator time. |
