Group Golf Lessons
Private golf instruction with a PGA Professional for your small group

If you are near the San Francisco bay area in Northern California, or are planning to travel to this area, you can arrange golf lessons for your small group of friends, family, co-workers, etc., to work with me in person on any aspect of your games or to learn the entire game from the very beginning. Continue below for more information. For "public" group golf lessons see my clinics page.

If you are not from the Northern California area and are not planning to travel here anytime soon get my golf instruction books, a 4-volume series of paperbacks covering the entire game in detail.

Student Comments

Locations

Lessons are conducted at two facilities in the east bay area of San Francisco in Northern California: Boundary Oak Golf Course in Walnut Creek, California (about 45 minutes east of San Francisco) or The Golf Club at Roddy Ranch in Antioch, California (about an hour east of San Francisco). See the map just below for an overview of the general area. Continue below for more details on group golf lessons.

Single Group Lessons and Packages

Group lessons are available by appointment, for (males, females, mixed) golfers of any age (kids to seniors) and any skill level (from absolutely brand new beginners to advanced players), on any aspect(s) of the game. Lessons can also be taken in a series of 6, which includes a discount.* A series of 6 lessons for beginning students can include basic grounding in the fundamentals of all major areas of the game. For more advanced students we can focus on the area(s) of your choice or on the entire game.

* In order to receive the discounted rate for a series of lessons (6 lessons for the price of 5) two conditions must be met:

• The series must be paid for in advance, at the conclusion of the first lesson
• The series must be completed within 90 days

If there is a problem with either of these conditions please schedule single lessons rather than a series.

Playing Lessons

Playing lessons are available by appointment, and are best scheduled for weekdays. I recommend that everybody in your group has had at least one lesson with me at the practice facilities before requesting a playing lesson. 9 hole and 18 hole playing lessons are available. On-course instruction is also available for your small group as part of my Private Golf School sessions.
