Book Private Golf Lessons with Coach Erik
I have over 40 years experience in Golf. I am currently the 1st Assistant Professional at Marbella CC in San Juan Capistrano. I love to teach and pass on the knowledge of this great game. I have over 3000 hours of instruction eaxperienxe and 1500 hours of clubfitting experience as well. Most professionals make instruction too hard by using a universal coaching template… however I teach from the tenant that each student is completely different I. their ways of retaining information. It’s my job to figure out how you process the given Information during a lesson and how I can convey that to you. Developing a lesson plan is complex and that’s where I come in.

How I can help you improve your game:
Each student is different in the way they process information. Taking the time to learn the individual and their personality is a huge part of the interrelationship success. It’s my job to find out how the student will process the given lesson plan and implement it.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Usually the average student during a 30 minute to 45 minute session can honestly only retain two or three major topics…. one at the most if we’re involving a major motor skill change i.e. a bad habit that’s crept in that we need to Correct, such as a improper grip await, balance shift, swing plane, swing angle, etc. again many of these concepts seem sophisticated and quite technical to the amateur golfer and again that’s why I emphasize it is incumbent upon me to convey what we’re trying to accomplish in a simple, executable terminology to the student
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have been teaching for 20+ years from juniors all the way to PGA professionals
Best coach I ever had:

In a few words. He was able to control the lesson and get the necessary information conveyed

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!
