Phil Marrone has been teaching golf at Stanford University since 1984 and has been a PGA Member since 1986. He has worked with thousands of golfers and golfers-to-be of all ages, shapes, sizes and skill levels, from complete beginners to tour professionals and everyone in between, including those with physical and/or mental disabilities. Phil coached boys and girls golf at his alma-mater, St. Francis High School in Mountain View, where he is proud to be a member of the Athletic Hall of Fame for golf and to have been selected as CCS-CIF Coach of the Year for Girls Golf in 2014. His teams were consistently among the best in the region. The girls’ team won four consecutive Nor-Cal Titles and finished as high as third in the State Championship. Phil has the mind of an engineer, but is an artist at heart. His creative and often humorous style will leave you smiling, swinging, and hitting the ball better, with YOUR swing. No machinery (other than occasional video), no cookie-cutter techniques or systems; Just principles, and over 40 years of experience in applying them to ANY swing. Whether teaching intuitively or “doing the math”, Phil gets the message across and allows your swing to evolve organically based on the necessities of clubhead behavior through impact. It works, and it can work for you.

“Where principle is put to work, not as recipe or as a formula, there will always be style.” – Le Corbusier

***. "Phil Marrone utterly shattered whatever bad attitude I had about the game. He showed me the wonder and universality of the game with the sure, graceful hand of a master who is truly interested in helping others... Phil has a combination of easy charm and craft excellence that is rare in any discipline... I will forever be grateful to this rock and roll athlete with impeccable manners for making my lifetime horizon a little bit wider -- and more entertaining." ~ Kevin Fagan, J. S. Knight Fellowship, Stanford University S.F. Chronicle reporter on fellowship leave

*** "Phil Marrone is an awesome teacher. No matter what your skill level, he knows exactly what you need to improve, and he can make a huge difference with just a few words or a quick, subtle adjustment. His way of phrasing advice makes things clear and understandable, but there's another level there. You think you're learning about golf, but at some point you realize he's teaching you an approach to life." ~ Douglas Kim, arts and entertainment editor, Seattle Times
