About the Club

Most golf instructors stick to a ‘one size fits all’ swing training method. Not me. My unique approach focuses on your individual style and physical attributes allowing each of you to turn your existing swing into your ‘perfect swing’.
My golf studio allows us to focus on everything from swing mechanics, course management, chipping, putting and more! I am dedicated to helping each of you play the best golf of your lives!

Dave is an excellent golf coach! Patient, clear, and tailored in his approach, he helped me improve my swing quickly. Very easy to get ahold of if something is not going right on the course/range. You can tell he truly cares about your results! Best value around, hands down.

Navy Dave has improved my golf game after 1 lesson! After 2 lessons I’ll be on the tour! Thank you Dave for taking the time to adjust my current swing to make it work for me. Excited for more!

I've had golf lessons over the years producing little to no long term success. Dave's approach is vastly different and he really works to improve the individual's current swing, timing and speed.

After only 2 lessons, my confidence, swing thoughts and timing have improved dramatically. I'm excited again on working to improve my game with the tools Dave provided.

Can't say enough about Navy Dave's Lessons. Whether you need a fine-tuning or swing overhaul, I would 100% recommend his services to golfers of all levels.

We have a lot of experience in the golf industry and seen our share of golf instructors - nobody does it like Dave. If you want to get better, there's no better choice.

Fixed my major swing issues in two lessons! Dave is helpful, kind, and mixes in jokes consistently to keep you loose.

5 stars easy!

Best golf coach around! Changed my game entirely! Went from 90s to now consistently in the 70s! Hands down my favorite person I’ve ever had coaching from! Helps with your swing and doesn’t treat one person the same as every other person!

Navy Dave is awesome. Really felt comfortable from the jump. I love how I’m not tearing everything down with my swing. Just making some tweaks and I’ve already noticed a difference. I’m already feeling more confident in myself and on the course. Looking forward to more lessons going forward!

I am a guy who "golfed" 25 years ago without really knowing what I was doing other than building bad habits and a wicked slice. We moved to Arizona last year and per Arizona law I am getting back into the sport. Took lessons with a club pro and they spent more time trying to sell me clubs than helping me and all I left with was confusion. I found Navy Dave, read the reviews, booked a session and wow...AMAZING! Within 20 minutes, he helped me reset my grip, stance and swing and I was hitting shots I never thought I could. Gave me some drills to practice on my own, which I have been, and it is helping. Hit the range yesterday using the steps we went through and what an amazing difference. I actually hit a freaking draw, on my own! I am sold, and just bought a package to keep the learning going. Dave will work with you on how you swing and not try to confuse you with jargon and methods that you don't need. You can tell he has a background with instructing from the military, I am a Navy vet myself and we related so well. None of this is hyperbole, it's just fact. Extremely fairly priced as well. In the Arizona heat, having indoor lessons on a simulator with AC is just the cherry on top. The guy is a wizard and my wife will be getting lessons as well soon enough. I would give this as many stars as I could, amazing experience!

He was very nice and he helped with my swing a lot. He made me realize I had to just give 80% in my swing. He had a great set up in his home. Definitely going to stick with him.

Navy Dave looked at my swing and ability and gave me instruction in a simple and positive approach. His video reminders after my 2 hr lesson helped me immensely to review what I learned. He has a very unique style of teaching and gave me enthusiasm to improve my game.

When my daughter said she wanted to try golf, my husband and I did what anyone would do...we asked for recommendations and searched the internet. Navy Dave caught our attention because of the 5 star reviews--specifically the feedback in those reviews.

My daughter is a true beginner and has had a few lessons with Dave and I can say that everything in those glowing reviews have been accurate. She's learning how she plays golf best, gets detailed instruction (that is fun and not overwhelming-especially for a brand new beginner), and is continually developing and improving her skills each time she goes.

The set-up is great! I love the functionality of the space and love being able to sit in and watch the progression at each lesson. Dave has a great personality for all ages that makes learning golf effective and fun.

If you are looking to improve your golf game, do yourself a favor and go see Navy Dave!
I booked lessons with Dave because I didn’t know what I was doing wrong when I hit a bad shot. He quickly identified issues and helped me make small adjustments that made huge differences in my swing. The progress and improved mechanics I now have has translated to better rounds of golf and more confidence in what I am doing. Trust the process! Dave will get you there.

Great teacher. Not changing your swing, making it work for you. Gives you minor tweaks to adjust your swing. Well worth the money. The best teacher of golf I have been involved with. He keeps things simple and makes learning fun.

What a terrific golf coach!! Lessons with Dave are full of laughs and he really focuses on keeping it simple. As a result the time together flies by, it is a relaxed learning environment, and I'm seeing immediate results. Dave isn't trying to fit me into a one-size-fits-all 'PGA Tour' swing, but instead is helping me to make the best of my senior swing! I have to add how nice is it to have a long lesson in his state-of-the-art indoor, AIR CONDITIONED teaching studio!!

Can't express enough gratitude for Navy Dave. I decided to try him out about 3 months ago, coming off of a significant hand injury. From day 1, Dave has been all about forming a swing around my body, not making my body fit a specific swing. Coming on my 3rd full year of taking golf seriously, I wanted to maximize all aspects of my game. Within my first few lessons, my handicap went from 17/18 down to 13/14. Dave instills confidence within me, both mentally but allowing myself to gain that confidence within my physical swing. Every lesson I have with Dave is a blast, he keeps everything very relaxed although when it's time to swing, it is all business. I'd recommend Dave to anybody, from never touching a club to someone who is determined to make a jump to Korn Ferry or other tournaments. Truly cannot wait to see my golf journey unfold with Dave in my corner.

Dave is an incredible coach, he’s worked with my natural swing and improved my game so much. I’ve worked with half a dozen different coaches prior and Dave has taught me so much about my ability and the golf swing. His communication and coaching style is simple and educational, instilling a confidence in your game that makes improving easier.

Dave is a like a golden needle in a haystack. Our teenage son has been through a few different coaches and programs with big aspirations of making golf a priority in his life. No one has checked every box on our list like Dave has. From Day one, Dave took him in and is completely invested in helping him reach his goals. He focuses not only on the mechanics but also the mental game. We are so thankful to have found him!

There is no one better than Navy Dave! I needed trustworthy help purchasing new clubs for my husband. I was in over my head and asked a friend where to begin; his immediate answer was Navy Dave. I reached out and Dave was easy to contact, and beyond helpful! He is patient, funny, and an excellent educator! He walked me through the process of buying clubs that my husband would be proud to own, while sticking to my tight budget. That gift reveal was the greatest surprise for my husband and I couldn’t have done it without Navy Dave! He also gave my husband a brief golf lesson while we were in his incredible indoor golf studio. Within a few moments of watching my hubby’s swing, he gave him a suggestion to slightly tweak his form and it totally transformed his golf swing!! What?! We were amazed! Needless to say we will be back. Navy Dave is an extremely knowledgeable golf instructor, but even better than that, he is a wonderful person. I give him my highest recommendation!

Dave has a unique way of connecting with you and taking your swing and improving it, not trying to make it someone else’s swing. He is able to show you why and how to make modifications that are comfortable to get desired results. He has a relaxing and inviting atmosphere and clearly loves what he does and is knowledgeable in his approach and teaching. Highly recommend Navy Dave!!

Can't say enough good things about Navy Dave! He's very patient, great energy in his lessons and the best part he doesn't try to rebuild your entire swing. He works with you to make small tweaks to make your swing consistent, repeatable and work for you. Highly recommend him for golfers of any skill level!

I can’t sing Dave’s praises enough! I have zero athletic ability and know absolutely nothing about golf. Yet two lessons in and I’m already feeling confident in what I’m learning, and looking forward to the next time I can practice. Dave does a phenomenal job of just making the session feel fun and supportive while also giving amazing feedback to help you learn. I’m already looking forward to my next lesson!

It simply does not get better than Navy Dave Golf. I am a newer golfer who has always played sports in the past, but was looking to pick up a new hobby that I could be competitive in. From day 1, Dave was very interested in my goals as a golfer and tailored my training to help work towards where I want to be. Prior to Dave, I was looking up videos online of what to change in my swing, but it all felt forced and mechanical. I picked Navy Dave Golf when first trying out lessons because of his advertising of finding my true perfect swing, and not forcing me into a general template, and my experience with Navy Dave Golf has been nothing shy of that. Dave has worked around my natural athletic abilities to provide drills and a swing that my body is willing to support, which makes the game much more fun to play. This type of swing is easier to repeat, and has heavily increased my confidence over the ball. On top of the great training, if a great environment is what you are looking for in lessons, I promise you will never have a lesson that doesn’t include tons of laughing and having a great time. Couldn’t recommend Navy Dave Golf enough.

Easy to schedule. Every lesson is 2 hrs. Can't beat his price for the instruction provided. Military friendly since he's retired Navy. He works to help you find your swing, not "tell" you how to swing. Took me from an inconsistent 25 whack%$$# golfer to a solid consistent bogey or less and falling.

Just one lesson and there was major changes that I haven’t seen ever before. Navy Dave was able connect with common sense terms that made the techniques way to remember and repeat. His approach works with the unique swing each golfer brings while maximising the students potential. If you need help with your swing, this is the only instructor to see.
