Mary Ritchie

“You saved my game when I was about to give up and after working with you, I finished my next 2 tournaments with top 10 finishes. You helped me realize my potential and how I have what it takes to succeed in golf…Thank you so much, that means a lot to me. I just have to keep getting my mind focused and I believe I can make it to the next level.”

- Mark Toscano, San Clemente

“Mary approaches golf instruction and coaching with the student’s goals as paramount. Her personal approach and attention to the mental side of the sport assist the novice and the experienced golfer equally well. Mary is a thoughtful and insightful teacher and I recommend her to anyone searching for true and consistent improvement in their golf game.” December 14, 2010

“Mary, you are simply the best ! In my 14 yrs of playing and countless coaches you have been the only true coach that has helped me find my game. Watching & listening you teach my wife gave me the idea that you could help me and boy was I right. Coming from 18 handicap to a single digit is huge. I’m no longer amazed when… I shoot under 80, it’s expected. It’s even given me the opportunity to share my time as a volunteer for The First Tee youth organization. Thanks again Mary, for opening up a whole new world of golf for me & my family. I’ll forever be in your debt ! LOL.”

“I NEVER would have done it without your teaching, Mary. I was so happy you were there to enjoy that moment with me. It’s taken me just over 5 years to get here, since I first played a round of golf. I’ve gone further in the past 2 months of your teaching than I ever dreamt was possible.”

- Martin Fincham    (After breaking 80 for the first time.)

“I am a single digit handicapper who is always singing the praises of golf lessons. I have taken lessons from a few coaches over the years but none have released my potential like Mary. I have recommended Mary to friends and strangers alike. Some have taken my advice and become better players. I had never been a really long driver of the ball and after a couple of knee surgeries my swing had slowed down. Mary saw some wasted motion in my swing and managed to find an EXTRA 30-50 YARDS OFF THE TEE! It has been years since I got to a par 5 in two and now I do it on a regular basis. If you want to enjoy the game more (and who doesn’t?) you need practice and lessons from a professional. If Woods and Mickelson need a coach, believe me…you do, too. Mary has the expertise, perspective, and training to unleash the hidden potential of your game.”

“I retired from dentistry on 1/1/10 and decided I needed to fill some of my spare time by learning to play golf. I had been experimenting with it for over a year with little or no good results. I decided I needed some lessons and very luckily found Ms. Ritchie. I’d say she improved my game but, I really had no game. My first lesson started with basic fundamentals, from there moving to more important aspects such as getting out of bunkers, giving me a proper swing, showing me how to read a green, etc. In addition to that, she has been unfailingly kind and generous with her praise when I accidentally made a correct move. I strongly recommend her, no matter what your game may be at present,  because she will certainly help you.”

- Dr. GT Cardiff

“I had sooo much fun! Playing with women is always so supportive and good for the soul! I hope we have another event very soon. Once again Mary Ritchie is the best golf teacher out there. She is clear and gives you tangible information to improve your game. Thanks Mary!”
