My name is Ethan Williams I’ve been playing competitive golf for over six years, and it’s been a journey filled with growth, grit, and some incredible milestones. In high school, I competed in three state championships and played in numerous AJGA tournaments, where I earned a few major wins that helped shape my competitive edge. Now, as a collegiate golfer, I bring that same drive and experience to my coaching. My goal is to help players of all levels elevate their game—whether you’re just starting out or looking to sharpen your tournament performance. I coach with a focus on fundamentals, course strategy, and the mental side of golf, because I know firsthand how important those elements are to success. I also use a full Swing Kit in my coaching sessions, which gives us access to real-time data like swing speed, launch angle, ball flight, and more. It’s a game-changer for tracking progress and making smart, data-driven improvements. If you’re ready to take your game to the next level, I’d love to help you get there.
I played professional golf for several years, achieving top three finishes in multiple tournaments across Florida. I qualified past the first stage for both the Web.com and European Tour/Challenge Tour Q-Schools. My foundation in the sport was built at the David Leadbetter Golf Academy in Orlando, where I honed my skills and passion for the game.

Tampa's subtropical climate supports outdoor golf year-round, with mild winters that draw snowbirds from cooler markets and consistent dry seasons that limit weather-related cancellations. The 5 active golf coaches (also called golf instructors) span a wide range of teaching backgrounds: a Wounded Warriors veteran with 54 reviews, the owner of A-Swing Golf Academy with deep mechanics focus, a former caddy with on-course strategy chops, a +1.9 handicap collegiate competitor, and a 6-year competitive player. That mix gives students real choice based on what they want from the lesson - whether it's fundamentals, swing rebuild, or competitive prep. Tampa's summer afternoons get hot and frequent thunderstorms roll through from June to September, so most coaches book lessons early morning or late afternoon during the wet season. Tampa is also a strong city for adult learners because the bay-area public-golf culture is welcoming to first-time players and the surrounding venues offer multiple difficulty levels, so students can progress without changing instructors or facilities.
| Level | Frequency | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | Weekly | 60 min | First 4-6 sessions build grip, stance, swing path, and contact for new players. |
| Intermediate | Every 1-2 weeks | 60-90 min | Players who break 100 work biweekly on targeted skills - short game, putting, course management. |
| Advanced | Monthly | 90-120 min | Single-digit handicap or competitive players - swing rebuilds and tournament prep paired with self-directed range time. |
