I’m coach Roddi, I have over 20 years of Basketball experience and 4 years of coaching experience (elementary-middle school). I have always been told that I’m a great teacher because of how intentional I am with my students. As a 29yo guard myself, I teach a mix of old and new school (Kobe era basketball). When we’re on the court, fundamentals are the most important to the session. If you lack fundamentals, you lack foundation, with no foundation your opponent will expose your weaknesses.
"Roddi helped me build my endurance and 1 on 1 skills. He’s a great coach and motivator that helped me get back in basketball shape and sharpen my skills.

"The results speak for themselves. When I started with Coach, I was an average athlete. After training for a few months, I’m dunking, moving quicker on defense, and finishing stronger at the rim. He knows exactly how to get results, but he also cares about you as a person. You can tell he loves what he does.

"Great coach - Drew was great with our kids’ first lesson!
Drew
Hi, I'm Bryan! I've been golfing since I was 8/9 years old. I’ve played junior golf and high school golf. I enjoy understanding and breaking down the swing mechanics. My aim is to help you develop a consistent swing and enjoy the game more. I want to teach you how to create habits that will lower your scores and eventually lower your handicap. I can put you on a launch monitor during the lessons and I will cover your range balls. If you are intermediate or advanced, we can work for advanced skills. Let's work together to improve your skills on the course!
"Bryan's lesson was quite helpful, especially since he made my daughter feel comfortable and confident. She was quite relaxed and seemed eager to keep practicing. Though we still need to work on her swing and stand, her comfort level definitely improved. I think with consistent effort, we can build on this foundation. Still, I appreciate the approachable way Bryan delivers feedback, making it easier to focus on small adjustments. If you're looking for a steady, straightforward lesson that prioritizes comfort and progress, Bryan is worth considering.

Patrick has been an instructor at Turkey Creek for five years and has recently transitioned to be an instructor for The Golf Spot as of September 2021. He provides professional instruction using video analysis, on-course instructions, and mental game awareness. In 2017, Patrick became an accredited member of the PGA of America. Besides his teaching career, Patrick has 20 years of competitive golf experience. He has played on the national junior level and college golf and is a mini-tour player. After winning and competing on many circuits, he decided to change his career to teaching as there was a flaw in golf teaching. Many students would learn the golf swing, but they still didn’t understand how to own their golf swing and play the game of golf, not just make great golf swings. As of January 2022, he has been nominated as one of the best instructors in the nation by Golf Digest under 40 years of age and strives to be the best teacher he can be daily.
"Patrick is the dude ! He makes you feel like one of the guys while instructing you through your lesson . Down to earth and easy to learn from .

**GREAT STUDENTS MAKE GREAT COACHES** For the past 20 years, I have been coaching and instructing many of the top golfers in Solano County. I firmly believe that "great players make great coaches." Here are some of my esteemed references: Aaron Beverly: Aaron has competed on the PGA, APGA, and Canadian Tours. During his time at Sac State, he broke numerous records and has won on the APGA Tour. He holds several course records, including a 59 at Rancho Murieta. Easton Hether: Class of 2026 at Cal State East Bay, Easton has already secured first-place finishes in tournaments and was named the 2023 Conference Freshman of the Year; 2025 CSEB Athlete of the Year; 2026 Career Athlete Award Anthony Del Dotto: A Class A PGA Professional and graduate of PGA/PGM New Mexico State, where he was a Jones Cup Champion. Mark Mills: Operations Manager at Jelly Belly. Mark improved from shooting over 100 to breaking 90 in just months through dedication to my 'Five Keys Method.' Although I now coach part-time, I have spent the past 20 years coaching and instructing for The City of Fairfield, Holy Spirit Middle School, and most recently, the Vacaville High Bulldogs. More than 10 of my students have gone on to play at the college level. But one of my proudest accomplishments is every junior player I have coached that went on to play in high school made their varsity squad as freshmen. Throughout these two decades, I have developed "The Five Keys" method of rapid learning. While I have specialized in instructing juniors with aspirations to play at the highest level, this method is designed for players who cannot dedicate hours each day to practice. The Five Keys Method focuses on accelerating progress without requiring extensive practice time. The Five Keys has consistently proven its effectiveness over the years, and I take great satisfaction in helping golfers achieve their personal goals, whatever they may be.
"Coach Nelson made me regret not starting golf 20 years ago. I thought I was signing up for golf lessons, but somehow I got life coaching, therapy, and a reality check all in one package. Every lesson has me thinking, “Wow, that applies to golf". Never had coach so commited to help me improved.
