About Lou

My mission is to bring the game of golf to kids exactly where they are, especially those who might otherwise never get the chance to step onto a green. I focus on more than just a swing; I introduce the core values that define a true golfer: honesty, respect, responsibility, integrity, and a relentless dedication to improve. To me, the golf course is a level playing field where youth, adults, seniors, and veterans can all blend together, proving that we have as much to learn from each other as we do from the game itself.

I’m a firm believer that if you work hard enough, you can solve any problem on the course or in life. My coaching philosophy is simple: “The secret’s in the dirt.”

It takes grit and persistence to find your rhythm, but I’m here to help every student dig in and figure it out.
