Before taking this class, I was completely frustrated with my swing and struggling to stay consistent on the course. But after just a few sessions, I started to see real improvementānot only in my technique but in my confidence as well. He broke everything down in a way that made sense, and his patience and clear feedback made each lesson feel productive and motivating.
He didnāt just tell me what to doāhe showed me why it mattered, which made a huge difference. My drives are longer, my short game is sharper, and I'm actually excited to get out on the course now. If youāre serious about improving your golf game, this is the class to take. Canāt recommend it enough!

Iāve been taking lessons with Coach Chae for a few months now, and the progress Iāve made is incredible. Before working with him, my golf game felt frustratingāI struggled with consistency and often felt unsure about my swing mechanics. Coach Chae helped me break down my swing into manageable parts and focused on building solid fundamentals.
What I appreciate most is his patient coaching style. He takes the time to watch my swing carefully and gives detailed feedback without rushing. His drills are practical and directly translate to better performance on the course.
Since starting with Coach Chae, my ball striking has improved significantly, and Iāve lowered my scores by several strokes. My putting and short game have also seen great improvement thanks to his targeted practice routines. I now approach each round with more confidence and a clearer understanding of how to play smart golf.
Coach Chae is definitely the coach you want if youāre serious about improving and enjoying the game more.

Working with Coach Chae has been a game changer for me. Iāve been playing golf on and off for a few years, but I never really understood what was causing my inconsistencies. Coach Chae quickly spotted some key issues in my setup and swing path that I had never noticed before. With just a few adjustments and the right drills, I started seeing results almost immediately.
What sets Coach Chae apart is how clearly he communicates. He breaks things down in a way that makes sense and doesnāt overwhelm you with too much at once. Every lesson builds on the last, and I always leave knowing exactly what to work on.
Since starting lessons, my drives are longer and straighter, and my confidence around the greens has gone way up. I used to dread bunker shotsānow I feel like I can get out consistently with control. My scores are improving, but more importantly, I feel like I finally understand my own swing.
Iād highly recommend Coach Chae to any golfer looking to level up their game. Heās knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping his students succeed.

I came into this class as a total intermediate āBut thanks to his guidance, Iāve made progress I never thought was possible. He made every lesson feel approachable, even when things got challenging. What stood out most was how he adapted his teaching to fit my learning style. He didnāt overwhelm me with technical jargonāinstead, he focused on simple, effective drills that actually worked.
Now I can consistently hit clean shots, I understand course strategy, and I even feel comfortable playing full rounds with friends. This class gave me a strong foundation, and it honestly made me fall in love with the game. Iām so glad I signed up!

I was stuck at a plateau in my game. I could hit the ball decently, but my consistency was all over the placeāespecially with my irons and short game. From the very first lesson, Coach Chae took the time to understand where I was at and what I wanted to improve. He didnāt try to overhaul my swing, but instead made small, intentional adjustments that made a big difference.
One of the biggest improvements Iāve seen is in my ball striking. Iām making cleaner contact and gaining better distance control, especially with my mid-irons. My chipping used to be a real weakness, and now Iām actually confident when Iām just off the green. Coach Chaeās tips on setup and tempo completely changed the way I approach short shots.
What I really appreciate is how every lesson is focused but also encouraging. he explains the "why" behind each drill and gives feedback thatās easy to apply. Iāve shaved several strokes off my scores over the past few weeks and feel like I actually have a game plan when I go out and play now.
