Book Private Golf Lessons with Coach Walter
I help golfers improve their entire game. Driver, fairways woods, irons, wedges, or putting, I can help any player build the skills they need to walk on to the golf course and perform at a high level. If you lack confidence, have mental barriers, nervousness, or struggle to play well in competitions, I can help you build strategies, routines, and understand expectations that will help you overcome the intangibles in your golf game.

Get to know Coach Walter
About Me:
I have been playing since I was 13. I played High School Golf and College Golf. I have played in numerous tournaments outside of school, from qualifiers, club championships, and local and state amateur tournaments.
How I can help you improve your game:
"Teach a man to fish and he will never go hungry." I use this mentality in coaching. If you build a golfers skills, you will give them the tools to develop, analyze, and adapt in any situation. You could play 100 rounds of golf on the same course and every round will be different. Your swing will be different every round. Knowing this and knowing how to adjust each time is what makes a good golfer. A swing coach or putting coach or mental coach will not be on the course every time you play so I help you build the tools to play great golf.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
First, talk about expectations. What does the player want and what do they think they need. I think starting from the same understanding will help both of us get the most out of each training session. Next, is hitting a few balls to see how the player operates. I look at ball flight, swing path, ground contact and ask question about impact. After that, I will spend the rest of the time working on improving the areas that need attention and giving some "take home" practice that will build skills and produce results on the course.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I currently teach small groups at a local course i grew up on. I am working to help develop the next generation of golfers and help local high school golfers be competitive in the school matches.
Best coach I ever had:
Adam Young and Jon Sherman. I took a few swing lessons from professionals when I was in high school. I never saw major shifts in my playing ability. I absorbed all the golf knowledge I could when I was younger and through perseverance achieved a 0 handicap, Scratch. The problem was, I had no idea how I did it. Fast forward to Fall 2023, I found these two coaches and applying their knowledge to my game, I have seen the fastest performance growth in my game ever. I now understand what I did through endless practice to become scratch years ago. These two guys are who I turn to for information and guidance and what I plan to bring to golfers I coach.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a Husband and Father. I love golf and I enjoy teaching. My goal is to help golfers grow and take their game to the highest levels.

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!
