Monday 12:00-2:45, Wednesday-Thurday 1:30pm-6:00pm
I grew up in Tacoma, WA, playing in our country club’s junior program, the Washington Junior Golf Association (WJGA), the Pacific Northwest Golf Association (PNGA), the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA), and was MVP of the America’s Cup Team. I played 4 years on the Varsity High School Golf Team, winning the Girls’ High School State Championship, and earned a 4-year Division 1 NCAA Golf Scholarship at Pepperdine University. After graduating, I decided to stop playing competitively, went to graduate school, and began giving golf lessons. I am a certified member of the National Registry of Professional Golf Instructors and LOVE giving golf lessons!
Why have a lesson, rather than learning the game other ways, such as books, videos, etc.?
Nothing is more effective than one-on-one instruction from a true golfing pro. A great golf game is based on the fundamentals, and our instructors will immediately spot the areas where you need help – along with assisting you in the specific issues with which you continue to struggle. No matter how many videos you watch – and they are valuable – nothing works better than working directly with a skilled golf teacher who sees exactly the problem – within minutes.
I have been playing for years – will that make my habits be more difficult to improve?
Not at all. The one-on-one factor, and the ability to see the difference in results when you correct a bad habit is an inspiration that you will never forget and will use consistently.
I am a beginner – is it worth investing in private golf lessons in Oak Harbor?
As a new golfer, you want to advance your game as quickly as you can. It is quite incredible to see players who have not been playing golf for years getting better results than more seasoned players – it is not “beginner’s luck,” but the fact that the player invested their time in professional instruction!
