Coach Chantrell Alexander (Surprise, AZ)

Hello my name is Chantrell and I’m a local Surprise golf coach with over 40 years of playing experience and over 25 years of teaching experience! I am also a PGA Certified Golf Professional and a TPI Certified Golf Professional. I started golfing when I was 4 years old and I have played golf my whole life. My Dad (Bruce Alexander) was a teaching pro and taught me the wonderful game of golf. I not only grew up in a golfing environment, but I eventually assisted my Dad while he was teaching. When I was 15, I worked with special needs children and it was then that I really found my love for teaching golf.

I went on to play golf all throughout high school. In 2010, I drove from Oregon to Arizona with my son (Robert) to pursue my golfing career and worked at Desert Mountain where I was introduced to TPI (Titleist Performance Institute). In 2011, I worked at Great Eagle Golf Course where I met the Player’s Club. From 2013-2018, I worked at Reid West Golf Academies where I was given a platform to perfect my teaching skills and was able to develop a variety of programs for both juniors and adults of all levels. My most prized experience was taking the Valley Vista Girls Golf Team from just beginners to district champions and on to state from 2014-2018. In 2019, I assisted with the Desert Mashie Junior Golf Program and also started my own golf academy (CA Golf Academy) which is located right here in Surprise at Great Eagle Golf Course. My passion is to grow the game of golf!

I am offering private golf lessons, semi-private golf lessons, group golf lessons and playing golf lessons for all ages (kids, teens, adults, seniors) and for all skill levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). So whether you need to work on some specifics like your drive, fairway, approach, chipping or putting-I would be more than happy to help!

Coach Mike Brabenec (Paso Robles, CA)

Hello my name is Mike and I am a local Paso Robles golf coach with over 43 years of playing experience! I have over 35 years of teaching experience and I’m a certified First Tee Golf Coach. I was introduced to the game of golf at the age of nine by my best friend’s father. I was hooked immediately! While growing up, I played several competitive team sports: baseball, football, basketball, hockey and swimming-but my focus always returned to golf. I quickly learned how other sports I played helped my golf game. I loved the personal challenge of golf, from the different golf courses to playing with different people. I just loved how every round of golf was unique. I loved the game. Then at the age of 15, I got my first job at a golf course (Shoreline Golf Links) located in Mountain View, California and had various responsibilities.

I then decided to work in the golf industry or recreation, so I moved over to San Luis Obispo, CA in 1989 to attend California Polytechnic University SLO graduating in 1995 and worked at Avila Beach Golf Resort while going to school. Now that I had my college degree, I decided it was time to focus on my career in golf and by the summer of 1996, I was the Head Professional at the Avila Beach Golf Resort.

I was fortunate to be mentored by 2 great Golf Professionals (Tom Stankowski, PGA 1996-98 and Billy Gibbs, PGA 1998-2011). By the early 2000’s I was a PGA Professional and the Director of Golf at Avila Beach Golf Resort and Blacklake Golf Resort. I then created the Avila Beach Golf Academy with Billy Gibbs, PGA. In June of 2000, Billy and I created the Golf Talk Radio with Mike & Billy Program. We aired live for 20 years on ESPN Radio in San Luis Obispo, CA and Bakersfield, CA. We interviewed many great PGA/LPGA Tour greats.

In January 2012, I started the certification process for the First Tee Junior Golf and Life Skill program. Becoming a part of the First Tee program was life changing working with juniors and also seeing the positive impact the First Tee had on every one of them both in life and golf. I became a Certified First Tee Coach in the spring of 2015-one of my proudest accomplishments! In December 2012 I accepted the Director of Golf position at the Paso Robles Golf Club in Paso Robles, CA. The owner of the Paso Robles Golf Club (Mike Rawitser) just happened to be the PGA Head Golf Professional and Operator of San Jose Muni GC and Santa Teresa GC in the Bay Area when I first started to play the game. The Paso Robles Golf Club is a very special place thanks to Mike Rawitser. I have had many great conversations about golf, the golf swing & life with Mike over the past several years.

On September 1st, 2021 I created MB Golf Academy and that is now my full-time occupation as owner/operator in the Paso Robles area.

I am offering private golf lessons, semi-private golf lessons, group golf lessons and playing golf lessons for all ages (kids, teens, adults, seniors) and for all skill levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). So whether you need to work on some specifics like your drive, fairway, approach, chipping or putting-I would be more than happy to help!

I teach golf lessons at Paso Robles Golf Club (Paso Robles), Links Golf Course (Paso Robles), River Oaks Golf Course (Paso Robles), Chalk Mountain Golf Course (Atascadero) and Morro Bay Golf Course (Morro Bay) but will also travel up to 40 miles to a location near you.

Coach David Smith (Rosemead, CA)

Hello my name is David and I am a local Rosemead golf coach! I am also a USGTF Certified Golf Professional. I have been playing golf for over 20 years, teaching for over 8 years and I can still say that I am still learning more about myself each time I play and give a lesson. I have helped young golf players & those that are more wise improve their game-but realistically, through playing, coaching high school golf, and teaching, I am helping myself to be the best golf instructor for all levels. When I teach, I want you to be in the moment (mind and body). I want you to be able to see yourself doing the shot and then actually pulling it off and this is why I try to incorporate mental game teaching along with the physical game because you just can’t have one without the other. My motto is “amateurs practice until they get it right, pros practice until they don’t get it wrong” (Harold Craxton).

The key word there is “PRACTICE”-you must dedicate some time to practice but it must be good practice. So let’s get to work-even if you do not have clubs-I will provide you with the equipment you need for your lesson! For brand new players-do not be scared-we will start on the putting green and work our way back to the tee box. For those intermediate and advanced players, we will work on what you need to tweak your game. Improvement comes with practice and playing. If you do not practice what you have learned, then improvement will always just be very slow and you will never improve your golf game.

I teach golf lessons right here in the Rosemead and Torrance area.

Coach Brandt Pfeifer (San Diego, CA)

Hi my name is Brandt and I am a local San Diego golf coach with over 18 years of playing experience and over 4 years of teaching experience! I’m a former Division 1 athlete and played three years of professional golf after graduating from The Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado Boulder. I played on the Golden State Tour, Dakotas Tour, Florida Elite Golf Tour and the West Florida Golf Tour. I’ve been coached by some of the best in the industry such as Chris Walkey, Brian Lebedevitch, Ron Dizzino and also John Wilson.

I utilize many of their fundamental swing concepts and blend it with my own concepts. I work around the swing that the student has-I do not follow a template and understand that we are all built different. Each golfer has their own unique swing and process to becoming the best they can be. I will coach in all phases of the game including the long game, short game, mental game, physical training and dieting.

I am offering private golf lessons, semi-private golf lessons, group golf lessons and playing golf lessons for all ages (kids, teens, adults, seniors) and for all skill levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). So whether you need to work on some specifics like your drive, fairway, approach, chipping or putting-I would be more than happy to help!

I teach golf lessons in the San Diego area at Sorrento Canyon Golf Center and my own private golf studio but do not travel at this time.

Coach Jim Hassey (San Diego, CA)

Hello my name is Jim and I’m a fun, local San Diego golf coach with over 35 years of playing experience and over 11 years of teaching experience! Whether you’re a “true beginner” that’s just starting to take up golf or an advanced player wanting to experience consistent success at the game’s highest level-you’ve found San Diego’s very best golf instructor & I am one of the nation’s leading golf instructors!

What makes me so sought after as a golf instructor is my clear and intimate knowledge of both the physics and bio-mechanics involved in the golf swing. I am able to educate my golf students about not only “what” they should be doing throughout every point in the golf swing, but I clearly explain “why” they should be achieving certain things in a correct golf swing. My unique method and approach has enabled me to achieve amazing improvement in such short periods of time with every single student I work with. My unique approach also allows my students to be able to self-analyze and immediately self-correct their swings whenever a flaw does find its way into my student’s swings. Making sure my students clearly understand the golf swing ensures that my students swings never get too far off the correct path. Immediately following a “poor” swing with a “correct” swing is what leads to more well-struck golf shots and lower scores.

I have been recognized for my exceptional ability to convey the advanced vital concepts in easy to understand ways that can be grasped by my students quickly and that has allowed every one of my students to be able to achieve amazing results immediately that hold up under pressure. I am offering fun, private golf lessons and playing golf lessons for all ages (kids, teens, adults, seniors) and for all skill levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced). So whether you need to work on some specifics like your drive, fairway, approach, chipping or putting-I would be more than happy to help your game!

I teach golf lessons in the San Diego area at the JR Southbay Golf Practice Facility and do not travel to any other locations at this time.
