About your golf coach
Hi, I’m Nicole Yang, and I’ve been passionate about golf for over 10 years. My journey took me from picking up the game as a beginner to competing as an NCAA athlete, where I gained not only technical skills but also a deep understanding of the mental side of the sport. Now, I’m excited to share what I’ve learned with others who are ready to start their own golf journey. My coaching focuses on building strong fundamentals, developing confidence, and making the game enjoyable from the very beginning. Whether you’ve never picked up a club before or you’re just looking for guidance on your swing and mindset, I’m here to help. Golf can be intimidating at first, but it doesn’t have to be! I’d love to help you get started.

I think Nicole did a pretty good job identifying mechanical flaws, especially since she explained things clearly without overloading me. Though I still need to work on fixing my flaws, I left the lesson feeling more aware of what I should focus on during my swing. I appreciate her calm approach and the tangible advice she offered, definitely worth trying if you're looking for a measured way to improve your game.

I had a lesson with Nicole and honestly, she's a great teacher. The focus on my specific swing issues really helped, and I left feeling more aware of what I need to work on. Still, I think some extra practice will make a bigger difference, but I’m optimistic about continuing with her guidance. If you're after a calm, knowledgeable coach, Nicole’s worth considering.

The lesson with Nicole was quite helpful, mainly because she’s very attentive and shared some great tips for my game. Still, I think understanding different clubs could make her guidance even more effective in the future , but honestly, her focus on specific improvements made a difference. I’d probably try her again to see how I can apply her advice as I get more comfortable with various golf techniques.

My lesson with Nicole was quite helpful, especially in working on my putting technique. Though I still need to improve consistency, I appreciated her straightforward advice and calm approach. Still, I think with some additional practice I’ll see more progress, would be interested in trying another lesson soon.

Nicole's lesson has really helped me address bad habits that I had developed from being self-taught, which was causing inconsistency in my swing, especially focusing on my hip movement which made a radical difference. Though I still have a lot to improve, I’m hopeful for what’s next and plan to keep working on it. If you're looking for someone who really understands tailoring the instruction to the individual, I’d say giving her a try is worthwhile.
