That lesson with Devin really gave me a fresh perspective on my stance and feeling it out differently. His patience stood out too, which made me more confident. Though I’d probably benefit from more swing practice and trying out different clubs, I think I’m headed in a good direction, and I’ll definitely consider another lesson soon.

What stood out to me was going through each part of the setup for the swing and then putting it all together at the end. Devin was very patient throughout the lesson, which made the experience enjoyable. If you want to improve your golf swing fundamentals, definitely consider taking a lesson with Devin! 👌

About your golf coach

Golf has been a lifelong journey for me, starting at the age of 12 when I switched from baseball to pursue my passion for the game. Throughout high school, golf became my primary focus, offering a welcomed escape from the diamond. However, life took me on a different path after school, and I took a 10-year hiatus from the sport. Recently, I decided to pivot from restaurant ownership to pursue a career in golf professionally. It's a decision fueled by my unwavering love for the sport and a desire to share that passion with others. Currently a PGA Associate working my towards membership. Golf isn't just a game to me; it's a way of life. I live and breathe golf, finding joy in every aspect of the sport, from the tranquility of the course to the camaraderie of fellow enthusiasts. Now, I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to help others improve their game and experience the same love and fulfillment that golf has brought to my life. Update: Lobby Golf will be opening it first location at The Hotel Zags in downtown PDX August 2025
