Book Private Golf Lessons with Coach Joshua
For most of my life, I have lived and breathed the game of golf. I've sucked at golf. I've won tournaments. I've dealt with the yips. When it comes to golf, there isn't much I haven't been through already. Allow me to utilize my 15 years of experience to help you excel to your fullest potential.

How I can help you improve your game:
There's a fine line between being told what to do and understanding why you're doing what you're doing. I'm going to help you identify the flaws in your game that are inhibiting you and help you understand the proper way of fixing it. My goal is to make you understand your swing and game to the point where you no longer need lessons from me.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Whether you're looking to work on your swing, putting, or anything in between, I will take the first 10 mins getting to know and diagnose you. Once we've identified an area of improvement, I will help guide you towards understanding the proper tips and methods to improve. 45 mins will be devoted to feel work, drills, and general practice. The last 5 mins will be used to recap everything we went over and making sure none of it was lost. I will probably have you write this down in your phone during this time.
Career summary and accomplishments:
- Head Coach of Notre Dame High School - Belmont (2023~) - Private Golf Coach (2023~)
Best coach I ever had:
Kim Shin Young who gave me lessons in Seoul, South Korea was my best golf coach. Also an aspiring golf professional at the time I was getting lessons from him, he taught me that being a better person will always mean more than how good a golfer you are. Skill without character is a waste.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I aspired to be a tour professional since I was of the age of 10. Although I am no longer in pursuit of my childhood dream, the journey told me so much about what it takes and how good you need to be. You may not necessarily want to be a tour professional. Maybe your goal is to play D1. Maybe its to be a scratch golfer. I can get you there.

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!
