I firmly believe that \"great players make great coaches.\" Here are some of my esteemed references:\n\nAaron Beverly: Aaron has competed on the PGA, APGA, and Canadian Tours. During his time at Sac State, he broke numerous records and has won on the APGA Tour. He holds several course records, including a 59 at Rancho Murieta.\n\nEaston Hether: Class of 2026  at Cal State East Bay, Easton has already secured first-place finishes in tournaments and was named the 2023 Conference Freshman of the Year; 2025 CSEB Athlete of the Year; 2026 Career Athlete Award\n\nAnthony Del Dotto: A Class A PGA Professional and graduate of PGA/PGM New Mexico State, where he was a Jones Cup Champion.\n\nMark Mills: Operations Manager at Jelly Belly. Mark improved from shooting over 100 to breaking 90 in just months through dedication to my 'Five Keys Method.'\n\nAlthough I now coach part-time, I have spent the past 20 years coaching and instructing for The City of Fairfield, Holy Spirit Middle School, and most recently, the Vacaville High Bulldogs. \n\nMore than 10 of my students have gone on to play at the college level. But one of my proudest accomplishments is every junior player I have coached that went on to play in high school made their varsity squad as freshmen. \n\nThroughout these two decades, I have developed \"The Five Keys\" method of rapid learning. While I have specialized in instructing juniors with aspirations to play at the highest level, this method is designed for players who cannot dedicate hours each day to practice. The Five Keys Method focuses on accelerating progress without requiring extensive practice time.\n\nThe Five Keys has consistently proven its effectiveness over the years, and I take great satisfaction in helping golfers achieve their personal goals, whatever they may be.","avatarUrl":"https://ewvfbezbkbxmtghxhiij.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/media/thomasnelson.png","skill":{"id":"9a11b260-2a84-4411-8db6-e9fa43ccb87e","slug":"golf","label":"Golf"},"acceptingNewStudents":true,"teachesOnline":false,"lessonLengths":[60,90,120],"maxParticipants":3,"locations":[{"id":"146d9307-bace-45e0-8dcb-f0aeeb973292","name":"Paradise Valley","address":"3950 Paradise Valley Dr, Fairfield, CA 94533, USA","city":"Fairfield","state":"California","timezone":"America/Los_Angeles","online":false,"latitude":38.2955162,"longitude":-122.0244311},{"id":"b7501685-c858-48f5-b03c-7196e3cffe86","name":"Crafted Swing","address":"651 Elmira Rd, Vacaville, CA 95687, USA","city":"Vacaville","state":"California","timezone":"America/Los_Angeles","online":false,"latitude":38.35241430000001,"longitude":-121.9504777},{"id":"d2a66cde-4708-42ea-a5e3-199e2beb3e4f","name":"Chardonnay Golf Club","address":"2555 Jameson Canyon Rd","city":"American Canyon","state":"California","timezone":"America/Los_Angeles","online":false,"latitude":38.2159023,"longitude":-122.2360227},{"id":"ee063e5d-74bc-41a6-ba9d-3a44e7e98e96","name":"Rancho Solano Golf Course","address":"Rancho Solano Golf Course, Rancho Solano Parkway, Fairfield, CA 94534, USA","city":"Fairfield","state":"California","timezone":"America/Los_Angeles","online":false,"latitude":38.2914855,"longitude":-122.073190533361}],"packages":[{"package":1,"lessonLength":60,"participants":1,"pricePerLesson":{"amount":16500,"currency":"USD"},"total":{"amount":20500,"currency":"USD"}},{"package":3,"lessonLength":60,"participants":1,"pricePerLesson":{"amount":14500,"currency":"USD"},"total":{"amount":49500,"currency":"USD"}},{"package":10,"lessonLength":60,"participants":1,"pricePerLesson":{"amount":14000,"currency":"USD"},"total":{"amount":150000,"currency":"USD"}}],"site":{"url":"https://staging.sites.coach/thomas-nelson","cancellationPolicy":{"windowHours":24,"lateCancelFeePercent":0,"noShowFeePercent":0,"agreementRequired":false},"prepaidLessonExpiryMonths":12,"packages":[{"id":"3f1d61cf-e506-433b-90d4-60a3c4279319","name":"Junior Scholarship ","description":"Junior Scholarship Package is designed for a long term ongoing relationship between Student and Coach.
