25+ years of elite tournament golf experience at your fingertips
I have been a high level scratch golfer for over two decades. I was coached by the likes of Chris Mayson for over 10 years, top 50 coach in the world, and Jay Brunza (Tiger Woods sports physiologist). I attended CU for PGA Golf Management and after a few years working in golf I left to pursue a career that would allow me more opportunities to play. I have played in Major Championship and PGA Tour qualifiers, professional events, high level amateur and was an internationally traveling junior player. I played at Torrey Pines High School along with the likes of Jamie Lovemark and Michael Kim who currently compete full time on tour. Xander Schaffle was in many of the events I played in growing up in San Diego. I also played on AJGA and in Toyota Tour Cup. After trying to get back into the swing of things in 2021 following some back problems, I injured my back an event summer of 23' and had to put the clubs away for almost a year. This gave me a new perspective on the game and showed me that I was not putting in the work in the gym. I have a full spectrum of knowledge to share about the game and what it takes to succeed even when things are not in your favor. If you are looking for the best swing, physical and mental coaching in the world but can't get in to work with them or it simply does not fit the bill for you I encourage you to reach out. I can take you to whatever level you want, given that you are ready to put in the work! Whether that's beating your personal best score to qualifying for the US Open I am here to help drive your success. It takes a team to win in this sport. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you! - Carson

How I can help you improve your game:
Course management (I can provide on course playing lessons), physical fitness and training, shot shaping and control, swing instruction, short game, mental clarity and focus, pre-shot routine, visualization and so much more!
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Swing - we will meet at a range or golf course to hit. You will provide the balls and I will come meet you in a discreet area of the facility if it's somewhere with formal instruction.
Short game - I like to go to local fields to work on this for mid range and short wedges. It allows us to focus on distance control more than getting the ball in the hold. For pitching and chipping we can go to Torrey Pines Golf Course, Balboa or Del Mar Golf Center.
On course playing lessons - (great way to quickly lower scores!) can be arranged for 9 or 18 holes and will require a minimum of 3 hours for 9 holes and 4 for 18 holes must be booked. Green fees must be paid for both player and myself. Formal email write up of suggestions will be sent following lesson.
Mental - Sit down sessions that can occur in person or virtually. Discuss in's and outs of game. Nerves and roadblocks that are keeping you from succeeding at any level. I can help you overcome your fears and build confidence in your abilities. Whether you need to sink a 4' putt for your club championship, improve your mental focus through your pre shot routine or come back from injury I am here to help!
Physical training - well versed in everything for golf and sports physical fitness. Arguably the most important part of your game. I can meet you at your local gym, track or even at your home to help you get stronger and faster. Modern golf is a game of speed with control. You have to be extremely fit to perform in todays game. Let me help you with curated workouts and training to help you become stronger than you ever thought possible!
Career summary and accomplishments:
Have been free lance for years but went to college to learn how to teach and manage golf course opperations. Over 25+ years of competitive golf knowledge!
Best coach I ever had:
Chris Mayson, spoke in simple terms and had tons of experience in tournament situations. Was able to create moments in our playing lessons that prepped me well for tournament play. He challenged my skills as a player teaching me how to be creative through various games on and off course. His other students were the best players in the country and drove me to have an extremely hard work ethic to play with the best.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I know what it's like to perform at the peak of my game and what it's like to be at rock bottom when you are injured. I've learned what it takes to truly make it by seeing the physical and mental performance required to play at the highest level. This knowledge gives me a unique edge compared to most coaches that teach. I know how to play the game, not how to create the most beautiful or aesthetically pleasing swing.
I'll work with you or your child to make sure that they learn the necessary skills to accomplish their goals in golf and life. This sport teaches us about how to be resilient, calm, and patient while pursuing the idea of perfection. There is always work to be done!
Sports background: Varity high school water polo, swimming, tennis, rowing and golf

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
