Best 3 coaches for Golf lessons near Forney, TX

I played college baseball and then coached little league baseball for over four years, which helped me learn how to communicate effectively in a coaching setting. I picked up golf just over four years ago, and in that time, I was able to go from a 35 handicap down to a 7.9. I recently started coaching two clients, one 6-year-old and one 24-year-old, and we have found success in making the game more fun for them while also helping them become more consistent in their gameplay.

Brian also served as one of only two Director-level Instructors for Hank Haney Golf, managing facilities in Dallas and delivering over 1,000 private lessons annually for two decades.

I work with brand-new and beginner golfers who want to feel comfortable, make solid contact, and enjoy the game without being overwhelmed by technical jargon. I focus on simple fundamentals, repeatable motion, and practical skills like setup, alignment, short game basics, and on-course confidence. My approach is relaxed and beginner-friendly, with an emphasis on understanding why things work and building skills you can actually use on the course. If you’re new to golf, getting back into the game, or trying to break 100, my goal is to help you feel confident and have fun while you learn.
