Golf has a reputation for being intimidating — exclusive clubs, unwritten rules, a steep learning curve. But that's not the game Mark coaches. More women are picking up the game than ever before, discovering what golfers have always known: it's one of the most rewarding activities you can take up at any age, any fitness level, and any background.
Mark's lessons are patient, encouraging, and completely judgment-free. No experience required, no prior knowledge assumed. If you've ever been curious about golf — for the sport, the outdoors, the social side, or simply something new to try — this is where you start.
Golf gets you outdoors, walking, and breathing. It's fitness that doesn't feel like a workout — and the scenery on a Utah course isn't bad either.
Golf is one of the great social games. Play alongside friends, meet new people, and enjoy hours of genuine connection on the course.
Unlike most sports, golf gets better with age and experience. Start now and you'll be playing — and improving — for decades to come.
Lessons available at courses and driving ranges throughout the Salt Lake Valley. Expanding to Utah County as Mark continues his education.
