Eric Shaw
Golf Coach in San Francisco, California
Golf Instructor and Coach
Hi, I’m Coach Eric. I grew up in the SF Bay Area, and over the last 40 years, golf has always been one of my true passions. I carried a single-digit handicap for many years, and I’m a veteran of local tournaments—including the historic SF City Championship. I’m excited to pass along the wisdom I’ve learned and what it takes to build a repeatable swing and have a resilient mindset. Whether you’re new to the game, trying to break 90, or a scratch player looking for that extra edge, I can help with your swing mechanics and your course management. Let's hit the range and unlock your potential.

A Swing Coach and Golf Instructor
I carried a single-digit handicap for many years, and I’m a veteran of local competitive tournaments—including the SF City Championship. I’m excited to share the wisdom I’ve learned and what it takes to build a repeatable swing and a resilient mindset. Having first-hand experience working through a slice, putter yips, and many other swing and mental challenges, I'm uniquely qualified to help you fix these issues. Using an AI app and a proprietary 3D swing-mechanics model, I can identify and fix swing inefficiencies. My teaching approach is laid-back and focused on fun. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all coaching, and I understand every golfer has a unique swing. Let's get started; book today.

“Eric is incredible! I can’t believe how good a teacher he is. He was patient and understanding and even though I was incredibly self-conscious about how little I knew he was supportive and encouraging every step of the way. His enthusiasm and absolute love of the game just gave a good energy to our whole lesson. He’s a dad too and knew exactly how to teach my 8 year old son at the same time as me. I’m so grateful we found Eric!”

Eric is exactly the kind of instructor an intermediate player needs. He is patient, encouraging, and great at breaking things down so they actually stick. He fixed issues with my swing that I didn't even know I had, and I left every lesson striking the ball better than I thought possible. Can't recommend him enough! -Ryan

As a beginner, Eric was a fantastic golf instructor; his advice is clear, easy to follow, and always positive. He made golfing genuinely fun, and my game improved significantly in just a couple of weeks. Highly recommend him.

My kid (8) had a session with Coach Eric and came home saying he “LOVED” coach eric. (He’s never said that about anyone other than his family members 😂)
