"My Sons have been going to Nic for a while now and I am not only impressed with his ability to teach them how to swing the club, chip and putt, but the effort he puts in to teach the mental aspect of the game and how important it is. I see their golf games improving not only physically, but mentally as well. Thanks Coach Nic!!" ~ Charlie Ward | | | RNGA students Yujeong Son, Abbey Daniel, Jacob Bergeron and Davis Riley are all participating in the US Amateurs coming up in the next few weeks.
