” My older daughter Lucy is coached by Rob. Lucy got into Yale University Women’s Golf Team directly as a result of Rob’s coaching. He gave her the skills and confidence to reach high and obtain her goals. It is impossible to express the amount of appreciation we have for Rob .”

Throughout my high-school golf career, Rob was the cornerstone of my success. He is one of the most technically-sound coaches, from putting to full swing. Moreover, Rob is a phenomenal mental coach, a feature that often goes unnoticed. I have always had trouble scoring if my swing went awry, but Rob guided me to overcome the hurdle and helped me score despite the condition of my golf swing. Rob also uses the newest technologies, such as Trackman and Sam Putt Lab, which gives me the feedback I need to improve my game. Thank you, Rob, for helping me get this far, and I wish you success with the academy.

Without Rob and Coach Matt, Angela wouldn’t be the place she is at now. She won multiple junior championships at the provincial, regional, national, and international level. Now she is playing at an Ivy league university team—Dartmouth Women’s team —- while pursuing her academic success. She is recognized as the athlete of the month at Dartmouth after she brought her team to historic record by shooting the lowest three day tournament score in program history. Thanks again to Rob and Ivy Golf Academy. Angela’s Mom

I started getting coached by Rob at age ten and within two years started winning tournaments including the 2012 BC Juvenile. Over the next 8 years I enjoyed a lot of success in AJGA and Canadian events and on my University of Washington team as the lead player. Rob was responsible for helping me get recruited to University of Washington Men’s Golf Team. He has always been there for me and I would encourage anyone with high goals in golf to see him. – Henry Lee
