Hey there! I’m a passionate golfer with 20+ years of experience, and I’m currently a 3 handicap. It’s crazy to think I’ve been at it this long, but I genuinely love the game and want to share what I’ve learned along the way. My goal is to help you improve your swing, shave strokes off your score, and most importantly—make your time on the course more fun and rewarding! I played competitive golf back in high school and have mostly been playing recreationally lately, but I’m working toward becoming a PGA professional someday. So far, I’ve mainly helped friends fine-tune their games, but I’m ready to branch out and work with other golfers too. Whether you’re fighting a wicked slice, struggling to escape the sand in one shot, or just looking to fine-tune your fundamentals, I’d love to help you out. Let’s hit the range, work on your game, and start lowering those scores together!

"I’ve had an outstanding experience with Ryan! He has completely transformed the way I understand the golf swing by teaching not just what to do, but why each movement matters. His ability to break down the mechanics into simple, easy-to-understand concepts has made a huge difference in my swing. He is incredibly patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in my improvement. I leave with a better understanding of my swing and a clear plan for practice. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable coach who truly cares about helping you improve, I highly recommend him. I look forward to every lesson. To prove how highly I recommend him- know that I drive an hour and a half just to see him!

"I had a lesson with Quinn and, well, he’s definitely good at giving feedback but didn’t quite match my needs since he primarily works with beginners. Still, I appreciated the precise insights he offered on technique, though I feel I’d benefit from someone whose approach aligns more with my level and goals. Definitely worth a try if you're starting out or need straightforward guidance.
