About the coach
I’m a former Division 1 golfer at Texas State University with 2 decades of competitive golf experience. I’ve been fortunate enough to play in tournaments such as the U.S. Junior Am.
My coaching focuses on helping players actually understand their swing—not just copy positions or feels—so they can understand when they swing correctly and when they don’t. And what they need to do to swing the club towards the target and play with confidence on the course.
I work with golfers of all skill levels, from beginners trying to build a solid foundation to experienced players looking to sharpen specific parts of their game. Whether it’s dialing in your swing mechanics, improving consistency, or learning how to translate range performance to the course, I’ll give you clear, simple feedback you can actually apply.
My goal is to keep things as SIMPLE as possible —golf instruction in today’s era is very overcomplicated and confusing.
“I relate the golf swing to baking a cake. The less ingredients you need to bake your cake the more repeatable the recipe is. Making your golf swing more consistent, and allowing you to hit more greens and have more birdie putts.” -Trace
If you’re serious about improving your game and want coaching that’s tailored to you, I’d love to work together.
