John is more than just my swing coach—he is one of the greatest mentors I’ve ever had. While I’ve always loved golf, my game didn’t truly transform until John dedicated countless hours to helping me. He not only reshaped my swing but also taught me how to control it with precision and consistency. Through his guidance, the technical side of golf became less intimidating, and he gave me the tools to master it through repetition and focus.
John’s impact goes far beyond my swing. He’s selective with his students, and I’m incredibly grateful to be one of them. He has helped countless players achieve their dreams of playing college golf, and I’m honored to be part of that legacy. But what makes John truly special is his ability to teach life lessons alongside golf.
Golf is not always easy—there are tough days that test your patience and resolve. John has helped me navigate those challenges, sharing his own experiences to help me gain perspective and resilience.
Thank you, John, for believing in me and investing in my future. Your dedication, wisdom, and support have shaped not just my game but who I am as a person. I wouldn’t be where I am today without you. You are truly the best, and I am forever grateful.

Dr. Rob Bell was a true lifesaver when I struggled with the mental side of my game. In the high-pressure moments of an important tournament, with so much on the line, the weight of internal and external expectations can feel overwhelming. Dr. Bell taught me how to navigate those stressful situations by shifting my mindset.
Instead of letting the pressure consume me, he helped me focus on the one thing that mattered—the next shot. He introduced me to a simple but powerful mantra: “So what, next shot.” It reminded me that dwelling on past mistakes only robs you of the present. With his guidance, I learned how to let go of the bad shots and approach each moment with clarity and confidence.
Dr. Bell is truly the real deal—a mentor not just to me, but to current PGA Tour players as well. I feel incredibly blessed to have had the opportunity to learn from him. His advice has stayed with me, and I make it a point to reread his book every year before tour season starts. Dr. Bell, thank you for your wisdom, encouragement, and belief in me. Your impact on my game and my life is immeasurable, and I will always be grateful for your mentorship.
My love for golf began with one of the greatest coaches I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing—Sean Bolduc. Sean wasn’t just a coach; he was a mentor who instilled in me a lifelong appreciation for the game. He always emphasized that golf should be fun, a source of joy that stays with us as we grow older. He made it his goal for my brother, Noah, and me to love the game so much that we would continue to play throughout our lives.
Sean had a gift for turning every lesson into an adventure. He brought the game to life with creative games and challenges, and his sense of humor made every visit unforgettable. Each time we spent with him, we laughed until our hearts were full and walked away feeling happier and lighter.
When Sean passed away, it was a profound loss for our family. His absence is deeply felt, but the memories of the time he shared with us remain an incredible blessing. Sean, thank you for your kindness, your wisdom, and the joy you brought into our lives. You will always hold a special place in our hearts. God bless you, Sean—you are truly missed.

As a current college golfer for UCLA and an aspiring LPGA player, she is not only a talented athlete but also an inspiring role model. Her dedication to the game and her ability to guide others through its challenges is truly remarkable.
Golf is as much a mental game as it is physical, and Caroline helped me navigate its toughest moments.

Her insight and support have made a lasting impact on how I handle pressure on the course.
Caroline’s talent and determination are undeniable, and I am so grateful for the time she spent mentoring me. I deeply value everything she taught me and the encouragement she offered along the way.
