Welcome to Golf Lessons by P. Kollar, where passion meets precision in the charming city of Fountain Valley, CA. Mile Square Golf Club is my home course, where you’ll often find me working on my game. As a dedicated golf instructor, I specialize in offering a personalized coaching lesson in golf. Whether you're a beginner eager to learn the basics and fundamentals of the game or intermediate player aiming to refine your overall golfing ability, the lessons I implement are designed to enhance your overall golf game, while most importantly helping you to enjoy your time spent practicing. As a graduate of Golf Academy of America, Carlsbad, California (sadly no longer in business), I studied the psychology of golf, complex teaching and course management. I also learned how to build a set of golf clubs as well as mastering the complex rules of golf, and the overall fundamentals of how to coach and instruct students. During my 2 years at GAA, I quickly excelled, making the competitive Club Golf Team. I came to learn that there are no two identical golf swings. It is my job to assist you to find the mechanically correct way to improve your swing and develop your short game. Whenever you’re ready to lower that scorecard, I’m ready to coach you!

"That lesson sparked a fresh grip change and clear goals, plus I can feel the swing staying steadier. A few head-still, weight-shift drills will really lock it in, and I’m excited to continue.

"Youssef really helped me take my swing to the next level. I’ve been playing golf casually for a few years, but he broke down the fundamentals in a way that finally made everything click. His feedback is clear, encouraging, and he’s great at spotting small details that make a big difference. I’m hitting more consistent shots now and actually confident stepping up to the tee.

I work at a country club and have been playing golf for several years, currently holding a handicap of 2. I compete in tournaments and love sharing my insights with others. I can break down simple concepts to help players adjust and improve their swings, always emphasizing the importance of returning to the basics. My goal is to make the game more accessible and enjoyable for everyone!

With over 20 years of experience in competitive golf, I bring a unique perspective to coaching. I started playing at 3 years old, won numerous junior tournaments, and made my first hole-in-one at age 5. By 14, I had collected over 100 tournament trophies and was competing in professional mini tours, which eventually led me to play Division 1 golf at Cal State Fullerton. My career has included college coaching, professional caddying, and now more than 5 years of dedicated instruction for players at every level. To give my students every advantage, I use a Foresight GCQuad launch monitor, the same technology trusted by PGA Tour players and major club companies. It provides precise feedback on ball speed, spin, launch, club path, and carry distance, allowing us to track progress, spot swing patterns, and dial in exactly how far each club goes.

"As someone who has never taken a golf lesson before, I wasn’t sure what to expect—but you made the entire experience incredibly comfortable from the start. Being a family friend, I thought I might feel a little awkward or out of place, but it was the complete opposite. You were professional, patient, and surprisingly good at explaining things in a way that made everything feel simple and doable. I appreciated how you broke down the basics without overwhelming me, and how you gave feedback that was encouraging rather than intimidating. What really stood out was how natural the lesson felt—like learning from someone I trust, but still getting the kind of quality instruction I’d expect from a seasoned coach. By the end of the session, not only did I feel more confident in my swing, but I actually understood what I was doing and why. For a first lesson, that meant a lot. Thanks for making the experience such a positive one. I walked in unsure and walked out excited to keep learning—couldn’t ask for more from a coach or a friend.

With 35 years immersed in golf, and 18 years as a PGA professional, I tailor instruction to elevate your game, fostering improvement in a supportive environment. My experience helps unlock potential through proven techniques, and individually created lesson plans to help take you to the next level.
