I came to Justin a year ago shooting over 100. Last month I shot an 86, and I've been in the high 80s since summer. He teaches one clear fix at a time, demonstrates everything, and uses video so you see it yourself. He fixed my reverse pivot in a single lesson after two other instructors tried for years. Best instructor I've worked with in the valley.

I have taken several golf lessons from Justin Amelung and he has helped me greatly. I went through major medical issues and have been trying desperately to get my game back. Yesterday, I played my best round in years and I believe his instruction was instrumental in making this happen. I might add that he tries to tailor his instruction to the individual rather than trying to have everyone fit in the same mold. I highly recommend him!

Justin offers an excellent, step-by-step process to improve swing mechanics, ball striking, and the short game. His instruction integrates both range work and on-course experience to provide real playing strategies.

My name is Don Blake, I'm 75 yrs. young and enjoying golf now more than ever before. I took a private lesson with Justin in June 2025 and participated in six group clinics delivering short game and other pro-technics. In 4.5 months, with lots of practice, my scores have gone from an average of 95 to a consistent 87. My goal is to shoot my age, working on it. Thanks to Justin at Trilogy Golf Club at La Quinta!

Thank you for the helpful golf lessons with Justin. As a current 6 handicap, what I appreciated about the lessons was that my swing was broken down with clear, easy-to-understand instructions. The upbeat and positive attitude during instruction was infectious. I've encouraged my golf friends (from single-digit handicaps to beginners) to take lessons with Justin. Each one has thanked me afterwards for the recommendation, sharing the positive results from their lessons.

I've taken about 10 lessons from Justin this year. He is very patient and knowledgeable of the game. They have helped my game improve from a 22 handicap down to an 11 today. I look forward to more lessons in the future to get my index to single digits.

The assistance I've received from Justin on course management has been a true game changer. I now focus on setting myself up for the next shot instead of just trying to hit it as far as I can. I've also really appreciated the ability to work on a stroke and then review the tape together, truly invaluable.

Jeffrey was anxious every time he played with his boss or his own clients, and his body just wouldn't do what he wanted under that kind of pressure. We didn't try to fix everything at once, just one thing at a time. Today he's a 2-handicap taking clients to Pebble Beach.

Coach Justin

Executives who now play with clients at Pebble Beach. Women who found their confidence back with friends. Juniors who went from beginners to solid players in under two years. That's the range of people I've helped get unstuck.

Coach Justin

I'd used another swing app before, it just gave me more numbers, not something I could feel or do differently. Justin gave me one thing to focus on and it actually stuck.

I didn't think a coach could really know my swing without meeting me in person. My first breakdown from Justin proved me wrong, specific to exactly what I was doing, nothing generic.

I've given lessons for 20+ years, most recently here in La Quinta. Even teaching 1,000 lessons a year, in-person only gets me so far, one hour, once a week, if that.

The idea came from a doctor's appointment. I heard typing on a Zoom call, he was feeding my symptoms into AI, then using his own judgment to decide what to do. That's when it clicked: an app can read your swing, it can't tell you what to do about it. It's an X-ray with no doctor there to explain it.

So that's Swing Lab. Not another app handing you more numbers, I read your swing and tell you the one thing to change.
