Riley M Kuffner

About the coach

I’m a lifelong golfer based in Los Angeles, specializing in helping players of all levels get the most out of their game — from first-time players to tournament competitors.

Whether you’re looking to:
• Get out on the course for the first time
• Finally break 80 (or 90)
• Master a consistent short game
• Learn new shot types (draw, cut, stinger, punch, high soft landing)
• Or approach the game with a competitive mindset…

I’ll meet you where you’re at — and build your game from the ground up or elevate it with small, powerful adjustments.

What sets my coaching apart:
• Short game specialist with a personally developed chipping & pitching training program
• Decades of hands-on experience: player, caddy, greenskeeper, coach
• Deep course strategy coaching – I can even walk through a round with you as your caddy
• I adapt to your swing style – not the other way around
