Las Vegas golf coaching

Every part of your game.
At your course.

Full swing, short game, putting, and the decisions in between. Range lessons at Shaun's teaching location, playing lessons at the course you already play, anywhere in the valley. And the first thing he fixes is usually not your swing.

Text Shaun to book Book on PGA Coach

Or call 702-994-4811. You'll get Shaun, not a front desk.

Keep it in the short grass. Fairways and greens, fewer doubles, lower scores. That's the whole philosophy.

What we work on

Pick the thing that's costing you the most strokes. If you don't know what that is, that's the first lesson.

Full swing

Contact first, then direction, then distance. Video on every lesson so you can see what you feel.

From $95

Short game

Chipping, pitching, bunkers. The thirty yards where a 95 becomes an 88.

From $95

Putting

Speed before line. Green reading you can actually use. No more three-putts from twenty feet.

From $95

On-course lessons

Nine or eighteen holes with Shaun walking you through every decision. The lesson that changes scores fastest.

From $300

New golfers

Never played, or played badly for years. A plan that gets you on the course without embarrassment.

From $95

PAT prep

For PGM students and apprentices. Taught by the guy who wrote the book on it. Fail your first try after the program and $350 comes back.

$850

Pricing

No memberships, no sales calls, no simulator bay you're paying rent on. A lesson is a lesson.

What an hour looks like

0:00Five minutes of talking
What you shoot, what you want to shoot, what the last lesson did and didn't fix.
0:05Hit balls, no coaching
Shaun watches ten swings and films three. The pattern shows up by swing six.
0:15One change
Not four. The one that moves the most strokes. You'll feel it, see it on video, and hit it until it holds.
0:50The plan
One drill, one feel, one thing to stop doing. Texted to you before you reach the car.

Where lessons happen

Range lessons happen at Shaun's teaching location, where he has the video, the launch monitor, and permission to be there. Playing lessons happen at your course, during a round, anywhere in the valley. Golf-course rules mean a visiting coach can't set up on another club's range, so that's the split. Early mornings in summer, obviously.

The coach

Shaun Colquhoun has been playing since he was five, served in the Army, worked a long run in Las Vegas nightlife and casino hosting, and is finishing the PGA Golf Management program at UNLV. He wrote two golf books. He failed his first PAT as a scratch golfer and passed the next one by sixteen, and he will tell you exactly why, because it's the same reason you shoot what you shoot.

More about Shaun

The coach wrote the books

Two of them. One for the golfer who's tired of shooting 95 with an 85 swing, and one for the PGA apprentice who's tired of being on the PAT Tour. Both on Amazon, both the same idea: your decisions are costing you more than your swing.

You Suck at Golf

(And It Has Nothing to Do With Your Swing)

Eighteen holes of course management for the golfer who shoots 95 with an 85 swing. The book the whole coaching philosophy comes from. Free, signed, with your first eighteen-hole on-course lesson.

Why you shoot 95 with an 85 swing

You hit it fine on the range and shoot 95 anyway. Here's where the ten strokes go, hole by hole, and the three decisions that get most of them back without a swing change.
