I'm Katy, and over the past four summer school seasons, I've taught junior golf group lessons in camp clinics, catering to ages 3-18. Beyond that, I've developed my coaching skills through 1-on-1 instruction, working with individuals ranging from 14 to 55 years old. Back in 2017, I had the privilege of volunteering as a health & wellness advisor for a D1 Women’s Golf Team for a semester. On the competitive front, I've played against some top golfers like LPGA Rookie of the Year Jillian Hollis, Jessica Porvasnik, Clare Legaspi, Cindy Oh, and more. Before diving into our first lesson, I always start with an assessment to understand each player's personality, their mental game approach, and the unique ways in which they learn. From that foundation, our inaugural lesson will focus on observation—watching how you swing or play. After which, we circle back to mastering the fundamentals, complete with personalized drills. You get to decide the lesson's focus, be it putting, chipping, short game, or even a 9-hole playing lesson, all based on your golf aspirations. I believe in nurturing from within first. The ideal player I work with understands that a positive mindset is the foundation for a successful physical game in golf.
"Katy was great with my twin girls. She taught them grip, form and mechanics all while keeping them entertained and enthusiastic about golf. My girls loved her personality and enjoyed the lesson so much. Thank you, Katy!


I am currently enrolled in the PGA Golf Management Program in Michigan and working toward my Class A PGA Professional status. As a Level 1 associate, I am committed to developing my knowledge of the game while helping others improve their skills and enjoyment of golf. My coaching philosophy centers on building strong fundamentals, making the game approachable for players of all levels, and creating a positive, enjoyable learning environment. Whether working with beginners just starting out or experienced players refining their technique, I focus on simple, effective strategies that lead to long-term improvement. With a passion for both teaching and playing, I aim to share the values of the game—discipline, patience, and sportsmanship—while helping students reach their personal goals on the course.
"Helped with my swing a few times now. He’s the real deal. Thanks Mike!
