Yelp Review Adam S. Los Angeles

Carlos is a gifted coach and has been an absolute pleasure to learn from.   Carlos approaches each lesson with confidence and positivity and has the patience to ensure your swing fundamentals are trending in the right direction. I now find myself practicing my swing at random points in the day because I want to get back onto the course and show improvement! 10 stars for Carlos.

Yelp Review Nicole, Venice

What a wonderful teacher and person Carlos is!! I had never golfed before. He taught me to golf in seriously one hour just one day before a charity event were I had to play 18 holes! I was able to keep up with the real golfers (playing best ball). I was able to hit the ball most of the time and got it airborne on several occasions. Pamela who schedules you is also lovely. 10/10 would take lessons again.

PLAYING THROUGH… 

Born in Puerto Rico, Carlos has defied expectations at every turn while transforming his trauma into a force for healing – brightening the days, and often lives, of outcasts, veterans, child prodigies and Hollywood elites alike.

Carlos’ extraordinary life proves that anyone can not just overcome, but master, anything – and do so with empathy, authenticity, and harmony. This film captures the world of Carlos Rodriguez, as he puts his mind and body through its most rigorous test in years, while inspiring his fellow veterans along the way.
