Foreplay!
Designed for the player who already has an understanding of what’s going on in the swing, but still needs some help with mechanics. Whether you need assistance getting up and down from off the green, or you need to be able to hit more fairways, I’ve got you covered. Sometimes, it’s a small fix, then again, sometimes we may have to break with bad habits and build up more consistent movements, such as coming over the top, or not turning the hips or shoulders enough. Lower scores, here we come!

Beginner Lesson
Start From the Fundamentals-Learn the proper grip, alignment, stance, posture and tempo, while also learning the beginning parts of the swing. In order to move on to a longer, full golf swing, ideally, a beginning player must learn the correct mechanics and develop some important muscle memory details. Once the ‘how’ and ‘why’ are absorbed, the game becomes easier and less bad habits form. You’ll also learn proper chipping and putting techniques. I’m ready when you are!

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.

Great instructor took couples lessons with my girlfriend. I’ve played 2 horrible rounds with friends before and girlfriend is very new. He was able to give us both individual lessons based on pace of knowledge/skill while also giving us homework and drills to practice on our own. We felt like we progressed greatly from this. Will definitely keep lessons going great vibe all around !!

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!

My recent golf lesson with Opie was quite helpful. He explained the reasons behind each adjustment, which made it easier to grasp the concepts. Though I still have some areas to work on, I’m eager to continue gaining more insight and experience with his guidance. If you’re after a knowledgeable coach who cares about your progress without over-hyping, I’d suggest giving Opie a try.

“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.”

Beginner student
“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.”
