About

Ish Gonzales has sixteen years of experience working with Adult and Junior students. Ish began his teaching career in 2004 with the Nike Golf Learning Center at The Rancho San Joaquin Golf Course, before establishing his own independant program. The Ish Gonzales Junior Golf Academy was featured in Orange Coast Magazine and America’s Best Adventure TV on KCAL9.

My goal is to make learning golf fun using video tools, simple techniques and golf course play. The majority of my students are long term, 3-10 years. We teach all levels, beginner to advanced. Many students starting as complete beginners, turn to become an avid golfers! Its fun to see the eyes light up when students start hitting the ball.

With a background in designing 401(k) plans for over 30 years, teaching kids was a hobby. After the 2008 stock market crash, my hobby became a business of over 150 students. I found that I really enjoyed working with beginner students, I retired from the pension business and concentrated on working on my golf school.

I've been fortunate to work with all levels of golfers, beginner to advanced. Like the tour players, advanced players and myself, sometimes need someone to analyze our swing. Usually a minor adjustment turns into a big gain. 

Of course The Masters, The Buick at Torrey Pines and watching Angels baseball.

Make sure you are compatible, you like his instruction, and enjoy taking the lesson. 

First question is what would l like to learn? What part of my game needs the most work? Most students forget that the short game, putting and chipping, can really improve their score. Most students concentrate only on the swing and driver only.
