Co-Founders
Co-Founder
Akhil has been deeply involved in competitive junior golf since age 11. His childhood revolved around the game — summers on the course, traveling for national tournaments, and training year-round through high school.
After turning down college golf opportunities to pursue academics, he earned a degree in Computer Science from Michigan State and worked in analytics and software at companies including General Motors and PepsiCo — while staying closely connected to the junior golf world through family, friends, and former coaches.
That journey, both as a player and as a system builder, shaped how this program was designed: with a focus on structure, feedback, and purpose-driven training.
Co-Founder
Divya has been immersed in competitive junior golf since the age of 8, traveling the country for national tournaments, training with top coaches, and growing up within one of the most connected junior golf communities in the game.
She played Division I golf at the University of Southern California, earning her degree in Business before going on to work at EY and Flexport. She recently completed her MBA at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

A Note from the Founders
Golf has given us so much over the years. We both grew up playing serious junior golf, with Akhil competing nationally from age 11, and Divya going on to play Division I golf at USC. But looking back, the game gave us something much deeper than just lower scores and trophies.
It taught us patience, focus, and how to bounce back from frustration. It gave us quiet moments on beautiful courses, away from the noise of everything else. It connected us with people we never would have met otherwise, and honestly, it just made life more fun.
There's something special about being outside, working on something that challenges you, and feeling yourself get a little better each time. Golf gives you permission to step away from work, from stress, from screens, and just focus on the next shot.
We want more people to experience what we've experienced.
But here's what we learned from our competitive days: we made the most progress when we didn't have one practice session and then go days without touching a club. Instead, we stacked hours and days together to develop mechanics and engrain them, so we could build on top of what we learned. That's when real breakthroughs happened.
But here's the other thing we learned: most people don't know how to practice effectively on their own. They hit balls aimlessly at the range with no plan, no feedback, and no way to measure improvement. We realized that part of our job wasn't just to teach golf skills, it was to teach people how to practice so they could continue getting better long after our intensive program ended. That's why every session includes specific drills, checkpoints, and practice routines you can use on your own.
The problem is, most people never get there because the traditional way of learning golf is frustrating and slow. Weekly lessons with days of solo practice in between. No clear path forward. No way to measure if you're actually improving. It's no wonder so many people try golf once or twice and give up.
That's what we built this program to solve. We wanted to create a way for busy people to experience the joy of golf without the years of frustration. To get to that moment where you're standing on a tee box, confident in your swing, enjoying the company, and feeling genuinely excited about the round ahead.
Golf is too good to be this hard to learn.
- To give people daily coaching and feedback, so they build confidence instead of bad habits.
- To create a clear path from beginner to course-ready, with measurable progress along the way.
- To surround them with other beginners who are on the same journey, making it fun and supportive.
- And to get them to that magical moment where they can walk onto any course feeling ready to play.
Golf should be challenging, but it shouldn't be intimidating. It should push you to improve, but it should also be your escape. With the right structure and support, people don't just learn faster, they fall in love with the game the way we did.
That's what we're here for. To help you discover what golf can add to your life, without the years of struggle that most people think are just part of the process.
