Introduction: The Garcia Golf Academy is now an authorized Lynn Blake Certified Golf Instructor. Communication is foremost to learning, and by asking my students their goals, wants, and needs, I can better service them. I teach a solid foundation, grip, posture, alignment, and the basic laws of geometry. Golf at its core should be fun; my purpose is to increase my students' golfing skills and their enjoyment of the game. I enjoy seeing the look on a students face after they've hit a good shot, won a tournament, or reached a higher level in their game My golf teaching education comes from Gregg Mchatton, PGA (ranked in the top 20 of California's best teachers) and G.S.E.D., instructor of the book "The Golfing Machine" by Homer Kelly. I was also taught by Bruce Hamilton, PGA (ranked in the top 100 best teachers in the USA by Golf Magazine). I am a member of the National Professional Golf Instructors Association (whose sole purpose is to teach golf) and an instructor for National Golf Schools who run over 50 golf schools in America. For more information, please visit my website, and feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

First time taking a formal lesson and I couldn’t have picked a better instructor than David. He was easy to communicate and very kind. I will definitely take lessons from him again and highly recommended for anyone who want to improve their game.

Just had my first lesson with Dave and found him to be very knowledgeable, professional and helpful. His videos of my grip/swing showed me specific areas where I can improve. I'm looking forward applying what he is teaching me.

David is very thorough and patient with kids. He analyzes in detail every swing and communicates how to make improvements very well. My son loves his golf teacher and enjoys his lessons tremendously.

After doing some research and reading a lot of reviews for golf instructors, I decided to hire Dave Garcia. After my first couple of lessons I knew I made the right decision. I have a new love for game and I'm gaining confidence all the time. I look forward to my lessons each week. Dave is very personable and makes you feel you can accomplish whatever your goals maybe. I have recommended Dave to all my friends. If your serious about learning to play this great game or want to improve your game, call Garcia Golf Academy. Thank you Dave.
