Golf lessons in San Diego, CA

I can’t recommend Opie highly enough. He is exceptionally knowledgeable, technical, and meticulous, with a true gift for breaking the game down in a way that actually makes sense. What sets him apart is his ability to rebuild your swing and fundamentals from the ground up without overwhelming you. Every change is purposeful, clearly explained, and tailored to your ability and goals. He’s also incredibly personable and patient, which makes every lesson both productive and enjoyable. There’s no rushing, no ego—just thoughtful coaching and genuine care for your progress. He pays close attention to the smallest details while never losing sight of the bigger picture of how everything fits together in your swing. Beyond the lessons themselves, he goes the extra mile by giving practical, structured advice on how to practice at home. The drills and guidance he provides make it easy to reinforce what you learn between sessions, which has made a huge difference in how quickly I’ve improved.

Jared arrived on time, with a great attitude, ready to work on some things. We talked briefly about what he felt was his biggest inconsistency, and he told me that was contact. I decided to start with the very basics, so we went to a spot next to a practice green to take a look at his grip and set up. We chipped to a pin a few yards away, and it was important for Jared to understand the various things we were working on at the same time he was actually attempting to make contact with the ball, so we went slowly. By the end of the lesson, Jared had begun to make a lot more solid contact with the ball. His grip and set up were much improved as well. We spent a few extra minutes on the putting green to end the lesson and had so much fun, I lost track of time. It was a phenomenal start, for certain. I hope Jared enjoyed his lesson, and I look forward to hearing from him again soon for lesson #2. Until then, remember to bend your knees 😉

April wanted to take a playing lesson because she had been playing golf for a year, but still had some issues during her rounds. She already had a decent swing, as well as an understanding of the game, etiquette, and how to think her way around a course. We spent about two hours together and worked on her grip, stance, alignment and tempo. Chipping and putting are essential, and she improved dramatically. After each hole, she could see herself getting better because the results were in her shots. She was able to understand and apply the small adjustments we were making, and that’s the key-being able to trust yourself enough to change things in order to improve. Great job, April!

Coach Opie is an excellent golf coach! He really takes the time to work with you and is incredibly patient throughout the entire lesson. He explains things clearly and makes sure you understand each adjustment before moving on. His tips are practical, easy to apply, and made an immediate difference in my swing. I’ve already seen improvement in my consistency and confidence. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their golf game!

“Great first lesson with Opie. He worked with me on my grip countless times and kept reassuring me that I would get it. Being new to this is extremely stressful and having a positive reinforcement that has a wealth of knowledge is a huge plus.”

“Opie is very professional, punctual and patient. He taught me the basics on the first lesson which included the proper grip, form and swing. He’s cool and took time for me to learn. I’d definitely do more lessons with him.”
