Private golf lessons in Los Angeles, California

I started as a total beginner and was honestly intimidated by golf at first. From day one, the lessons were welcoming, clear, and tailored to my skill level. Now I not only understand the fundamentals, but I actually look forward to each round. Michael really knows how to make the game approachable and fun.

As a low-handicap player who’s been around the game for decades, I’m pretty selective about who I work with—but Michael has exceeded every expectation. His background as a former college golfer gives him an exceptional eye for detail and strategy. What really impressed me is his ability to refine advanced mechanics without overcomplicating things. Even at a high level, there’s always something to learn, and I’ve seen measurable gains in both consistency and course management since training together.

Honestly, I was pretty pleased with how the lesson went, Michael covered different club scenarios which really helped me see how to adapt in varied situations. He explained things clearly without overloading me, and it was definitely a useful experience overall. Still, I think a bit more focus on specific swing adjustments could make future lessons even more helpful. If you're looking to get a practical sense of working through different club setups, trying Michael might be worth your while.

Honestly, Michael’s emphasis on verbal instructions and focus points made the lesson quite clear and easy to follow, which I appreciated. Though, more consistency and a putt or two might help solidify some of those techniques. Still, the lesson highlighted key areas that feel immediately relevant to my game, and I think with some practice, I’ll see progress. If you’re open to a measured, straightforward approach, you might find this lesson a good starting point.

Honestly, I’d say my lesson with Michael was quite helpful in learning key information about my swing. Still, I appreciate how he focuses on practical details without overwhelming, which makes the process feel pretty manageable. I found the emphasis on fundamentals quite useful and look forward to building on that. If you're into golf and want an instructor who keeps things simple but effective, you might want to give Michael a try.

My 13-year-old son has been working with Michael for the past year, and the improvement has been incredible—not just in his swing, but in his confidence and love for the game. The way he connects with junior players is something special. Lessons are fun, focused, and always encouraging. He’s gone from struggling to make contact to competing in local junior tournaments with real excitement. We couldn’t ask for a better mentor.
