Junior Lessons

High School & Junior Lessons
Golf is a game kids can play for life — and it's a lot more fun when they're not frustrated. I work with young golfers (and their parents) to build real fundamentals early, in a way that keeps it enjoyable, not stressful
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Google Review

"Matt does a great job of customizing your lessons to your swing and expectations of where you want your golf game to go. The drills we work on are great and can be done at home in your garage, living room, or basement and won't break the bank!" — Jeremy Roush

About

Hi, I'm Matt Dirkx. I've loved golf forever, and over 15 years of high-level amateur competition I picked up the technical and mental sides of the game — so you don't have to spend your Saturday sorting through bad golf tips on YouTube. I use that experience to help golfers of every level actually enjoy their time on the course.
