About Erin

My passion for coaching is centered around creating a fun, welcoming environment where junior golfers can develop confidence, build skills, and truly enjoy the game. With a background in junior golf development through U.S. Kids Golf, I gained valuable experience helping grow the game while learning how to make golf approachable and engaging for players of all ages and skill levels.

Today, as co-owner of Village Green Golf Club alongside my husband, Sean Martin, PGA, I lead our junior golf programs and PGA Junior League teams with a focus on long-term player development and enjoyment of the game. My coaching philosophy emphasizes creativity, encouragement, and active learning through games, team challenges, skill stations, and on-course experiences that keep players motivated and excited to improve.

I utilize an athlete-centered coaching approach that encourages players to explore, compete, and problem solve while developing both technical fundamentals and confidence on the course. Practices are designed to be energetic and interactive, incorporating age-appropriate drills, movement-based activities, friendly competition, and goal-oriented challenges that help juniors learn without feeling overwhelmed by instruction.

Above all, I strive to help young golfers build a lifelong love for the game. Whether working with beginners picking up a club for the first time or experienced players preparing for competition, my goal is to create positive experiences that keep kids engaged, learning, and eager to come back to the course.
