Philosophy
As a golf performance coach, I believe that golf is more than just a game of skill; it’s a reflection of life itself. Every swing, every putt, and every shot presents an opportunity for growth, not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. True mastery comes not from chasing perfection, but from embracing the process—the ups and downs, the successes and setbacks. Golf teaches us resilience, patience, and the importance of focusing on the present moment. It's not about how many times you fail, but how quickly you recover and learn from those experiences. The best golfers aren't those who never miss—they're the ones who rise stronger after each challenge.

Testimonials
“I cannot express enough gratitude for the impact Marcus Park has had on my golf career. From the moment I started working with him, my game has transformed in ways I never thought possible. Not only has he refined my technique and improved my consistency, but he has also completely reshaped my perspective on the game. He has been my greatest influence and motivation to take my game to the next level. Marcus has taught me that golf is not just about mechanics-it’s about mindset, strategy, and resilience, coming to the golf course everyday with the mindset of working towards improvement not just the scores on a scorecard. His ability to break down complex concepts into simple, actionable steps has made improvement both effective and enjoyable. More importantly, he has helped me develop a deeper understanding of the mental and strategic aspects of the game, allowing me to approach each round with confidence.” - Anthony Saienni
“I have been working with Marcus for the past six months and am beyond pleased with the results. Rather than forcing a particular system or swing, he has worked with me on building a repeatable swing that I feel comfortable with and can consistently repeat. Rather than just trying to align swing planes or face angles according to a launch monitor he continually probes at the connection between the mind and body. He approaches the problem from a variety of angles, presenting a menu of cues to find one that I can relate to the best. He works with your thought process as much as he works on the swing. With each lesson we have built, block-by-block, my golf game. Additionally he continues to offer support outside of the lesson by suggesting helpful content to solidify topics we've gone over during the lesson. Whether it is at the range, in the gym or on the course Marcus offers timely feedback in a friendly manner. It is not just one-way coaching but a collaborative partnership that I have found most effective.” - Charlie Choe
“My brother recommended the TPI program to get in shape to improve my game. Originally my research to find an expert was to help with physical training. However, Marcus Park’s name came up and he could also be a golf coach. After the initial TPI Assessment Marcus helped me refine my swing and showed me how to gain 20 more yards on my drives through specific exercises. Two more follow up sessions have helped my short game and putting. In several months, I was able to lower my handicap by 5 strokes with Marcus. The best part of working with Marcus, is he communicates in a way I can understand, by explaining what the change is doing and why. This has been very valuable when practicing alone after the session. Marcus is a remarkable coach; I highly recommend him.” - Joseph McNamara
“Marcus is an excellent teacher! Very patient and understanding on making sure you have not just the head knowledge but also the feeling! When I started working with Marcus I was a 19 handicap, in just a year and a half I’m down to a 9! His love and passion for the game make him a coach I recommend to all my friends!” - Nate King
