More About Coach Alissha
I have been playing golf for a total of 20 years. I have played with women's clubs and won the 2007 and 2008 Club Championship at the D'Andrea Golf Club in Reno, NV.
I have coached many students since I acquired my teaching certification in 2008 from the National Registry of Professional Golf Instructors. I have taken students with no prior experience to playing the game on courses. I also volunteered with the First Tee of Northern Nevada for two years and coached children from 6 to 18.
I worked with them on their full swing, pitch shots, chip shots and putting. I was also able to accompany them out on the golf course so they could learn the rules and etiquette.
I have also had extensive coaching in the mental aspect of the game. My coach is a professional golfer who has played the game over 50 years and professionally over 35 years.
Coach Tip: This is a quote from the book Spirit of the Dancing Warrior by Jerry Lynch and Chungliang Al Huang: "Mastery. It is interesting to discover that there is no path to mastery: mastery is the path, the journey of never-ending multidimensional growth and development, a zigzag way of excellence. You don't attain mastery; you live it as a lifestyle one small step at a time and you can measure success by the quality of those steps."
2007 and 2008 DAndrea Golf Club - Reno, NV Club Champion
Played on the GCAT for three seasons. Attended the Senior Championship in La Quinta, CA.
Played in the WorldAm in Myrtle Beach, CA 5th in division
I introduce the game by doing strengthening and warm up exercises. I emphasize the need to prevent injuries by strengthening and stretching. Then I introduce the fundamentals of grip, stance, direction of ball flight, and posture. The full swing is then broken down into a sequence that is easily understood. I have handouts that explain each part of the swing in detail which can be taken home and used to practice.
After the full swing I introduce the pitch shot, the chip shot and putting. My goal is for the student to have a technically correct and reproducible swing. Distance and accuracy is not emphasized until the student has a swing that is reproducible.

Experienced immediate results. Started with a warm up routine then began a basic golf swing. Pleased with results.
Bonnie Caprice (CoachUp client)
Coach Alissha is very knowledgeable and takes her time making sure that I understand what she is teaching me. She is very friendly and has a relaxed demeanor. I feel very comfortable with her. I am excited to learn more about golf in a relaxed, but action filled sessions!
Sylvia (CoachUp client)
I am a new golfer. There were many things Alissha helped me understand. The importance of stretching and proper stretches to do. She showed me the correct way to hold a golf club. She also showed me the correct stance and swing of the golf club.
Andrew (CoachUp client)
Alissha worked with my wife who is a beginner golfer. She was skeptical at first to learn to play but after her first lesson was hooked thanks to Alisshas great instruction! She’s looking forward to her next lesson with Alissha!

Extremely happy with what I've learned so far
Robert (CoachUp client)
Coach Alissha is a great coach! She was patient enough to go over the basic routines as often as it took for me to understand it. She did not get frustrated at my lack of athleticism. I am looking forward to my next session.

Alissha is a wonderful coach.
She does have a lot of patience and go's over things several times until it sinks in.
After 3 lessons I now know what a good golf swing feels like. So going forward I at least understand what to work on.
I would defiantly recommend Alissha and hope to be back again next year for more lessons
Thank you Alissha
Victoria (CoachUp client)
Coach Alissha is excellent and personable! She has great observation and precisely critique my problem immediately. We work efficiently on full swing, chip/pitch and putt in an hour lesson every time! I would highly recommend her to any golfer! Exceptional coach!!!
Paul (CoachUp client)
Coach Alissha recognized my problem's solution immediately. I was hooking everything, and with one small change that she proposed, I was hitting everything straight! Woo hoo! I would definitely recommend Coach Alissha for anyone who needs a swing overhaul.
Matthew (CoachUp client)
Coach Alissha made a few small tweaks to my swing, grip and stance. By the end of the one hour lesson I was able to comfortably hit the ball straight again with all my clubs. Well worth the time and money.

Coach Alissha has helped my friend Madeline who has never played the game get a start into the game. She wants to be able to join the fun I have with my friends. I want to plan for more lessons.
Daniel (CoachUp client)
My first session with Allissha, was on the Mental Game of golf. I, request for an Audio and within a week I, got it. The Audio is Awesome, it's words are Clear and to the point. with music in the background and Allissha speaking words of wisdom. Outstanding job, I, Love it. Thank you
Jim (CoachUp client)
I cannot be more please with Coach Allisha. I've had just two sessions of five purchased and I feel my swing has improved immensely. Allisha has a way of breaking down the components of my swing into easy to understand pieces and gave me simple practice tips to reinforce the good rather than me focusing on what's wrong with my swing. I am so encouraged and look forward to practicing with a purpose and making my swing better and effortless. Thanks Alissha!
Bonnie Caprice Wirz (Testimonial)
Alissha is a fantastic golf coach! She is friendly and knowledgeable. She makes learning golf fun and I can now play golf with my sons! Besides learning the basic rules of golf and which clubs to use, I learned golf etiquette and how to have fun! Try Alissha for coaching your golf game, you won't be disappointed.
Student (Testimonial)
I enjoy learning golf from Alissha. She is knowledgeable, patient and fun. I had no experience in playing golf and she made golfing simple and fun. She taught me the basics of golf to playing 18 holes of golf in couple of months. I am still learning. I have gotten physically stronger and my muscles are more relaxed since I started golfing. I would highly recommend Alissha for your instructor. She is passionate and loves to play golf.
