I have a lifetime of experience in teaching golf. My father was the head golf professional at The Country Club in Brookline Massachusetts and Thunderbird Country Club in Rancho Mirage California for 40 years. I worked under him for 25 years. My father continues to be very interested in learning about the golf swing and teaching it. My father worked under Claude Harmon.
Claude Harmon was the head professional at Winged Foot and Seminole Golf Clubs.
Claude won the 1948 Masters as was an amazing golf teacher. Claude Harmon is the father of the Harmon brothers, Craig, Butch, Dick & Billy. All are great golf instructors in their own right. Butch has gone on to super star status in the field having successfully coach many of the top players on tour
I worked for Butch Harmon at his golf school in Las Vegas for 26 years as an instructor. Over that tenure I assisted and observed Butch while he coached Tiger Woods, Phil
Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Gary Woodland, Stewart Cink,Jose’ Maria Olazabal, to name a few. My own personal tour students were Charley Hoffman, Craig & Kevin Stadler, Inbee Park, Se RI Pak, Hannah O’Sullivan.
I also spent 5 years assisting and observing Mac O’Grady coach Seve Ballesteros, Grant Waite, Steve Elkington. Now that I moved to Abacoa Golf CLub in Jupiter Florida, I have been spending all of my free time watching Mike Adams teaching his students. Mike has been the #2 ranked teacher in the world according to Golf Digest for many years. Mike
has really opened up my teaching philosophy. His methods have really helped me in my
coaching of everyday weekend golfers.
Perfecting your game is all about refining your technique, building consistency, and mastering the mental and strategic aspects of golf, so you can perform at your best on every hole
I don’t speak in terms that you can’t understand. Seems like these days that the most popular instructors on social media speak in scientific and medical terms. I am not a scientist or medical expert. What I am is an expert on fixing golf swings so that they work.
This means I work with what you can do physically. I don’t try to make you do anything you can’t do.I don’t try to make big swing changes that’ll take months or years to learn. I want everyone to get better now. I work within the parameters you bring to me. Some people can stretch or exercise if they want to hit it farther but if you don’t want to do that or can’t, I’ll work with what you can do. We will discuss the best options and path for you.
I don’t teach a system or swing style. If you look at the best players throughout history, you’ll see a number of different swing styles. You’ll see flat swings, swings with arms high, wrists cupped and others rounded. There are lots of different ways to successfully swing the club.I will work closely with the golfer to find their own swing. This is important because it’s the fastest way to get better at golf.

“Shawn has worked with PGA and LPGA touring pros throughout his career and has brought a combination of their “Secret Sauce” to his style of instruction. You will come away from your first lesson playing better, period. Shawn’s teaching philosophy is not to rebuild your swing but rather to see how you swing naturally and build a more consistent swing from your current foundation. Shawn has been coaching my 15-year-old son for the past year and has taken him from a 4 index to a +1, shaving about 5-6 strokes off his tournament scores. It’s fun to watch them work together. They never do mindless drills on the practice tee—they just work on things to make him score better at the next tournament.”
— James Koehler, Golf Dad in Arizona ★★★★★
“Shawn is a fantastic teacher! As a mental golf coach, I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with him on online workshops, and our participants were thrilled with his teaching. On a personal level, I’ve also benefited from his instruction. Shawn’s approach is simple yet highly effective, and he provided me with specific drills that were exactly what I needed to improve. On top of that, Shawn’s personality is wonderful. He is easy to work with, and I genuinely enjoyed collaborating with him. If you’re looking for someone to help you enjoy golf more and play better, I highly recommend Shawn!”
— Kumiko Rodewald, Mental Golf Coach ★★★★★
“As a Wounded Veteran relearning to play golf as an amputee, I’ve faced numerous challenges, but being one of Shawn Callahan’s students has significantly improved my game. With his expert guidance and tailored feedback after every practice session, I’ve been able to make meaningful progress. Shawn always identifies key areas for improvement and provides specific drills to help me refine my skills. He’s also incredibly accessible for discussions about swing issues or mental blocks. Thanks to his support, I’ve dropped my handicap from 23 last year to 15 this year.”
— Luis Morales, Wounded Veteran & Golfer ★★★★★
“I have taken lessons with Shawn and I’m incredibly impressed with his ability to break down my swing mechanics and provide targeted drills to address my major flaws. And I had them flaws. I was struggling with consistency, but he helped me understand the importance of proper weight transfer and club-face alignment, leading to significantly more accurate shots on the course. Shawn is also very patient and positive, making the learning process enjoyable and motivating me to practice regularly. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their golf game.”
— Sandra Patterson, Recreational Golfer ★★★★★
