About
I’ve spent the last 36 years helping golfers of all levels enjoy the game more and play with confidence. As a one-on-one golf instructor, I focus on simple, clear fundamentals tailored to your swing, goals, and experience.

Mr. PSC was great. He is professional, friendly, and takes time to explain how his instructions affect the golf shot. He uses multiple tools to go along with the advice and it helped my game the very next day. Thank you!

Phil is very professional and full of knowledge. During our lesson he not only explained to me what to do by why I need to do it. He’s extremely patient and very detailed. I will continue to take lessons and I highly recommend to anyone looking for golflessons from beginner to advanced golfers.

Phil is a great instructor. He came to the golf course closest to me which was very convenient. When I showed up, he had already set up the bay with all the gadgets he uses when teaching. I've been playing a while, but haven't had formal lessons so I had years of bad habits to deal with. Phil was very patient and understanding. I've already set up another lesson for next week after buying a 3 lesson package. I highly recommend giving Phil a try.

Just had my first lesson with Philip and found him to be very knowledgeable, professional and helpful. He has patience, explains things well, uses video, and knows how to adjust my personal swing. I'm looking forward to applying what he is teaching me when I play more on the course! Highly recommend for beginners, or for players that want to improve their game!

Professional, knowledgeable, friendly, easy to work with, just some of the ways I would describe working with Phill. He provided a very comfortable learning environment which made my ability to learn the golflessons easier.
I believe he is passionate in his desire to make sure his student understand every aspect of the lesson.
I will always return to Mr. Cooper for refresher lessons in the future.
