Sean’s collegiate career was successful at OVU, captaining the team in his senior year and winning numerous team titles including one Conference Championship. This recognized Sean’s abilities in leadership and sportsmanship, which has translated over to his career in coaching.

Following his collegiate career, Sean transitioned into playing professional golf. Sean’s playing career as a professional was a positive learning experience and has given Sean a distinct advantage in his coaching. Sean’s coaching experience expands to a variety of skill levels and he is able to share a wealth of knowledge and information with his students; giving them insight as to what it takes to take their game to the next level!

Sean believes that there are key fundamentals and swing mechanics that will help promote improved ball striking, pitching/chipping and putting. Creating a blueprint specific for each student and evaluating their skill set is important to executing the students roadmap. Identifying strengths and developing a plan to changing technique is vital for the students success.

What people say about Sean

“After one lesson with Sean, it was very clear he is the real deal when it comes to coaching! Sean’s knowledge of the game is at the highest level and has helped me immensely on the LPGA Tour this year. I would recommend his coaching to golfers of all levels.”

Sarah Kemp Professional Golfer - LPGA Tour

Sean is an outstanding instructor who has been coaching my son for several years. His enthusiasm for teaching young golfers, coupled with a structured and innovative approach to golf instruction has really made a difference in developing my son’s golf game. Based on Sean’s expert knowledge, skills and ability to teach effectively, I highly recommend him as an instructor to aspiring golfers of all ages.

SC Chia Parent of Junior Golfer

“Sean was a great asset to me at the RBC Canadian Open last summer. His calming presence, overwhelming amount of golf knowledge, and course management skills helped me contend with the world’s best. Sean is not only a great teacher, he is an all around great guy”

Jared duToitProfessional Golfer, Arizona State University

” Sean has been instructing my son for a few years now and the improvements in his game is remarkable! His patience and demeanor with his students is integral in the success he has with them. Sean’s ability to dissect the swing and suggest drills that lead to marketable improvements in my son’s game is huge strength in his teaching ability. He also has a way of explaining to me what is going on with his swing and how he can make improvements, as well as explaining why he is suggesting the drills and how they will shape his swing moving forward. Sean also has a great rapport with his students. He has a way of making them feel at ease and is very friendly and approachable.”

“A great decision to make Sean my son’s golf coach!”

Rob Cristant Father of Junior Golfer

“Once moving over to TPGolf there was a lot to do! Sitting down with Sean we came up with a plan to rebuild my golf game in all aspects. With countless hours of practice and supervision I started to see dramatic changes and improvements! Over the past year working with Sean, I have gone from a mediocre junior golfer to a competitive amateur player while pursuing my goal of being on the PGA Tour. I am excited to see what these next few years have in store for me.”

Keaton Veillette Amateur Golfer

“I have known Sean for almost four years now, he has been coaching my two boys. When I think of Sean, a few things that come to my mind are, his commitment to his students and his passion to see improvements in his student’s games. Sean goes above and beyond to make sure his student’s are on the right journey for success.”

Vinny KajaParent of Junior Golfer

“Sean is an excellent instructor. My ten year-old son has taken lessons with Sean for several years and is now able to match my play consistently. Sean is patient and has a key eye for detail. He is able to identify his students’ strengths and weaknesses then communicate to them what they need to do in order to enhance their games. Sean uses also uses various techniques to improve the mental and physical aspects of his students’ games; and, to keep the lesson lively.”

“We’ve worked with other instructors, but Sean has shown us that he really cares about his students and is very generous with his time. Lastly, he is not only a fantastic golf instructor but is knowledgeable in all aspects of the game.”

Steven Fung Father of Junior Student

“Working with Sean has been a great experience! He is not only a great instructor on the range, but the way he approaches the way you play the game mentally and strategically is what I believe sets him apart from other instructors. Sean’s ability to cater his coaching methods to his students has been important for me in my success. The biggest characteristic that highlights his work is the passion and attention he pays to each of his students. I can confidently say that Sean is the key contributor to restoring my confidence in my golf game and a major reason why I continue to improve!”
