Book Private Golf Lessons with Coach Tamara
Hi! I am Coach Tamara. I love sharing my knowledge of golf with kids and am passionate about growing the sport. I can easily teach beginners to advanced players. My focus is on strong fundamentals and short game. I previously started junior golf leagues, coached with the First Tee Program, and have coached/taught on and off for 20 years. Since being a former Division 1 golfer, I can also provide direction on getting recruited to the college level. After college, I was a Golf Teaching Professional at Turnberry Isle and Tiger Point Country Club before I began my career in healthcare.

Get to know Coach Tamara
About Me:
My career blossomed very early, shooting under par as a freshman in high school. Back then (1988) scores like that in junior golf were not as common as they are today. I was highly recruited coming out of high school and eventually chose to play at The University of Florida. Following graduation, I turned professional and passed my PGA playing ability test to be able to provide lessons.
How I can help you improve your game:
The most important part of coaching is understanding what the goals are of the player. What do THEY want to accomplish. Is that attainable? How can I help them reach their goals, etc. So much of golf is mental, and being able to help kids through the mental aspect of the game is an area I think a lot of coaches miss.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Again, understanding what the goals are of the player. My ideal lesson would be divided into 3 areas, 20 minutes on the putting green, 20 minutes chipping/short game, and 20 minutes on the driving range. The player should leave the lesson with 2 or 3 tips to practice in each area. Once those "tips" have been mastered, then it is time to come back for another lesson to continue advancing.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have been coaching on and off for 20+ years. I enjoy teaching beginners, but am also qualified to teach low handicappers.
Best coach I ever had:
I follow Bruce Brown and Proactive Coaching. They provide the best guidance.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am very patient. Golf is a tough game to learn. My goal is to see an improvement in some aspect at every lesson, whether it is in Putting, Short Game, or Ball Striking. I can easily adapt. Not every player wants to turn pro. However, I do believe golf needs to be fun, and can be enjoyed for the rest of their life.

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!
