I’m a detailed coach who likes to talk through the golf and swing concepts that relate to your personal needs. I’ve worked with many swing types and players of all ages. I understand how the club and body should move and work together to produce consistent and ever lasting results. I’m always in communication with my students, so I encourage them to ask questions any time they need more guidance on the swing or how to play the game.

Jorge K. says, "I can't say enough good things about Coach Dawn. I've taken 3 lessons with her over the past month, and I've already seen noticeable improvements in my game. One of the biggest changes has been my short game, which is much more consistent than before. My ball contact has also improved significantly, giving me more confidence every time I step onto the course. My Woods and Driver is still a work in progress and that is something that she will work with me this week. Dawn has an incredible ability to identify what needs to be adjusted and explain it in a way that's easy to understand and put into practice. She is so patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping me improve my game. Every lesson is well organized, and she provides simple, effective drills that reinforce what we worked on so I can continue making progress between lessons. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and supportive golf coach who truly cares about your success, I highly recommend Dawn. I'm looking forward to continuing lessons with her and seeing how much more my game improves." Read more

Dane N. says, "In one session coach Katy noticed and fixed my problem. From my baseball grip , addressing the ball, to finishing my swing. Now my grip is relaxed, I bow and slightly bend my knees , and finish by hugging the tree. Coach Katy made me comfortable and made funny analogies to fix my problem. Great coaching" Read more

Andrew C. says, "Wow! Adam is awesome. I am a 45 year old man who never played a day of golf in my life. I was a bit apprehensive to start this late in life especially with someone younger than I teaching me. Adam is truly a professional. He made it super comfortable and enjoyable from the very first lesson. I’ve learned so much over the past several months and am now a regular out on the course. I would and am highly recommending Adam to anyone wanting lessons or perhaps just to brush up. I know I’ll be continuing brush up lessons with him. Again, I highly recommend him. " Read more

Tim S.
Just had my first lesson and looking forward to the next. John made me feel super comfortable right away and we covered a lot in an hour. My main concern about working with an instructor was that I would be really nervous, but that was no problem at all and his tips made perfect sense.

I really enjoy taking golf lessons with Dawn. I had never played golf before, but I had always wanted to try it, and she made the first steps feel comfortable and not intimidating. I really like the way she teaches: she explains things clearly, pays attention to details, and helps me understand what I need to adjust without making it feel overwhelming. I can already see progress in my swing and in how I understand the game, which makes me even more excited to continue learning. Dawn has also been very helpful beyond the lessons themselves. She advised me on what golf clubs would be better for me as a beginner, what kind of golf glove to choose, and what shoes would be more comfortable and appropriate for playing. She also sends me exercises I can practice at home to improve my technique, which helps me stay consistent between lessons. She is patient, supportive, and professional. I’m very happy I started learning golf with her and would definitely recommend her to anyone.

NewSwing Academies is truly an exceptional place for children to learn and enjoy the game of golf. My three kids recently attended their LA Academy, and it turned out to be an experience they won't forget anytime soon. Despite being beginners, they quickly picked up the intricacies of the sport in just a few weeks, thanks to the fantastic coaching they received. Coach Jose Anderson, who happened to be the President and Founder of the academy, personally instructed one of my children. His humble and dedicated approach towards teaching was truly admirable. It was only later that I discovered his prestigious role within the organization. Coach Jose Anderson's program is a testament to his passion for providing a fun-oriented learning environment for all ages. Witnessing a few of the classes and clinics, I was delighted to see the beaming smiles on all the kids' faces. The program's popularity is evident from the weekly participation of almost 100 kids, a feat that speaks volumes about Coach Jose Anderson's remarkable leadership. The option for parents to join in the clinics added an extra layer of inclusivity and fun. The entire team of coaches at NewSwing Academies deserves commendation for their dedication and excellence. I wish there were more classes available, as my kids were genuinely sad when it was time to leave. Thank you, NewSwing Academies, for creating such an unforgettable and enriching experience for my entire family. We can't wait to come back for more!

This was such a great find. I was able to choose between 3 instructors at a range just down the road - Chester Washington. We did a package of lessons and I felt tangible improvement in my striking and distance. Feels good!
