About my coaching
I am a patient and encouraging PGA Pro with four years of teaching experience. I work with teens and adults in private sessions to help you make consistent contact and build on-course confidence. Whether you want to refine your full swing, short game, or mental approach, I am here to support your goals.
What to expect in your first lesson
Expect a relaxed intro, a few swings to get comfortable, and one or two simple things to work on together. No pressure, no jargon - bring questions and clubs you already own.

Frequently asked
Where will the lesson take place?
In Walnut Creek, CA, Patrick teaches from the coach's setup. The exact address is shared after your lesson is confirmed, so private home addresses stay protected until both sides are ready.
What should I bring to the lesson?
Bring whatever clubs you already own. If you don't have a full set, bring a 7-iron, a wedge, and a putter — that covers most beginner sessions. Comfortable clothes and golf shoes (or any flat sole shoes) are fine. Water and sunscreen if you're outdoors.
Which lesson option should I choose?
Patrick offers Intro lesson (60 minutes), Private lesson (60 minutes). Pick the option closest to your goal and confirm details before the session.
I'm a complete beginner — is that okay?
Tell Patrick about your experience and goals in your lesson request. The coach can confirm whether the lesson is a good fit and explain what to expect before you meet.
What's the cancellation policy?
Payment and cancellation terms are agreed directly with the coach. BirdieYard does not process lesson payments today, so confirm those terms before the lesson.
