ELEVATE YOUR GAME

Golf Instruction Simplified

Identify Your Pattern

Before meaningful change can occur, it's essential to develop an awareness of your current habits and their underlying causes. This process involves analyzing your swing mechanics, grip, setup, and body movements. Understanding why these patterns have developed and how they influence your ball flight is the first step toward improvement.

Develop Skill

Once we’ve identified your pattern, change can happen. With our new insights, we’ll develop a practice plan with targeted drills and focused intentions to establish new patterns. Through consistent practice, you’ll gain ownership of these skills, and together, we’ll continue to build on your progress.

Transfer Ability

Transferring skills from practice to play is a crucial aspect of instruction. We focus on ensuring that the techniques developed during practice sessions translate effectively to the course. Our goal is to bridge the gap between learning and performing, so you can consistently apply your skills and enjoy playing golf.

My approach blends skill development with personal growth, building confidence and a resilient mindset that extends beyond the golf course. Click below to learn more below about my process and how personalized coaching can accelerate your learning.

What Clients are Saying!

Erica identified a problem immediately in my swing that I probably have been battling my entire golf life of 26 years, started at 18, multiple teachers never caught it. I am a 7 handicap, my 1st round after our 1st lesson was something special, I decided to play from the whites and work on things from my lesson. It was the golf you dream of playing, we started on the back which led to a great 3 hole stretch, 17-ace, 18-birdie, 1-eagle, and 3 other birdies thrown in throughout for a career low 67. I credit Erica with the round 100%, not a chance it would have happened or anything close without her. She is a fantastic teacher with a great style, if you ever thought about taking a lesson, you owe it to yourself to take a lesson from Erica, we are very fortunate to have her at Raleigh Country Club. Also, my 5 year old daughter Mia was with me for the round of a lifetime and 2 great friends, Flaherty and Ford. Thanks Erica, you really made a dream come true!

Erica is an outstanding coach. Obviously golf focused, but the approach to improvement is applicable to sports in general. Able to identify the needed improvement area, drill to improve, and provide takeaways that can be practiced when not in a session. You get much more than just the time spent in the lesson. Her use of technology is impactful during and after the lesson. She's also excellent in finding ways to get you to understand the "why" of a golf swing. If a drill/analogy isn't clicking, she has various methods you can work until it starts to flow and you see improvement. She's top notch. Great swing coach.

Erica is the best instructor with which I have ever worked. Does an excellent of job of explaining what she is trying to accomplish in multiple ways enabling the recipient multiple ways process the instruction. Working with Erica this season I have been able to drop my index from a 10.4 to 6.6. If there was a 6 star option I would have chosen that option.

I would give more stars if I could! I am a fairly new golfer who started to play more often. I noticed that I had a lot of challenges with consistency in my game. When I found Erica's online profile, I knew she would be the coach for me! I turned one appointment into 10 and spent the summer starting over from the basics. Erica is a patient and creative teacher. She never quits until she is sure you understand the process. My gave has improved and more importantly my confidence is high. Now I go out knowing I am doing everything I can to have a fun game experience. I wish she was never leaving Bend!

I've had the privilege of working with Erica the entire summer with a series of 11 individual lessons and several group clinics. My swing has gotten markedly better along with my accuracy. Erica also provided me with some great insights around golf course management, which I really needed! She does not try to introduce too many principles at one time, which I so much appreciated. Her demeanor is consistently pleasant and fun. I would recommend her without hesitation to folks at all ages and all levels. Thanks for a wonderful time !

Dave M
This is my 9th lesson with Erica this season and I give her 100% of the credit for the improvements in my full swing and short game. I suffered a rotator cuff tear 2 1/2 years ago and was away from the game for 2 years. My swing had to be reworked. She has done an amazing job with it and I'm extremely grateful. She is a joy to work with and instructs in a manner that I have found exceptionally effective. I only wish I could give justice to her skills and talents, both as a golf professional and a teacher, in my review. Thank you Erica. Carey Brennan.

I would leave more stars if I could. Erica takes a simple approach to teaching, looking at the swing and diagnosing any changes. Then she starts small, having you hit balls with quarter and half swings, integrating the new changes slowly and methodically. Changes to the golf swing take time and conscious effort and Erica's approach ensures you integrate any changes with this mentality. In addition, she works on root-cause issues, not a band-aid approach. She knows her stuff... go see her!

I have taken lessons from Erica for 2 summer seasons. She is amazing! She is so gifted at explaining golf swing concepts in easy to understand and execute ways. She can teach in a very technical way or she can teach to a feeling. She often will use both methods to help me figure out which teaching method connects with me better. I love that she uses video with voice overs to show before and after shots of a skill I am working on. One of Erica's greatest strengths is that she gives her students simple drills to work on at the range and also gives them 1 or 2 mental thoughts to focus on during a game so you aren't overwhelmed. AND, Erica is fun!
