golf lessons

Golf has always been more than just a game to me. It’s a reflection of life’s most valuable lessons—lessons I’ve been fortunate to learn from the most influential people in my life, especially my father and grandfathers. My dad, with his unwavering focus and integrity, taught me to always do the right thing, whether on the course or in life. He showed me that true success comes from hard work, discipline, and maintaining a steady moral compass.

But I was also shaped by my grandfathers, both veterans who embodied different, yet equally powerful values. One grandfather instilled in me the importance of family—reminding me that our closest relationships are the foundation for everything meaningful. The other lived life with passion and purpose, teaching me to embrace every moment and live life to the fullest. Together, these influences have shaped not only my approach to golf but how I live and coach today.

As a golf instructor, these lessons are woven into everything I teach. Golf, after all, isn’t just about perfecting your swing or winning tournaments; it’s about patience, perseverance, and growing as an individual. The lessons my mentors passed on to me, I now pass on to my students, hoping to guide them both in their game and in life.

In my experience, the values you learn on the golf course—like focus, respect, and resilience—are the same ones that help you succeed beyond the greens.

In many of life’s endeavors, whether running a company, cooking a meal, or playing a musical instrument, there are different styles that work. This is also true in golf. There is great variety in preferred swing mechanics, as demonstrated by the game’s best players. Some players prefer to overlap, others interlock, and a few use all fingers on the grip.

If you're new to golf, your first trip to the course can be a bit intimidating. But don't worry - with a little preparation, you'll be hitting the links like a pro in no time. Here's what you need to know before teeing off in San Diego. First, familiarize yourself with the basic rules of golf.
