- Customized sessions: individual or group coaching, designed for all ages and skill levels—including junior, adults, seniors, men, women, and players with disabilities .

Grass League, a competitive adult league, lists Ty as a +1.3 handicap, age 39, representing Rancho Park Golf Course. They describe him as “a strategist, a competitor, and a leader on the course,” underscoring his technical and psychological edge.
Real Estate: Property Knowledge with a Personal Touch
While educating golfers, Ty has also built a strong foundation in real estate through his affiliation with LA Exclusive Realty (DRE #02132537). His marketing channels expertly blend lifestyle aspirational content, luxury homes, fitness, and golf, tailored for an audience looking beyond merely buying a house.
On Instagram, his 4.5k+ followers are drawn by a mix of:
- Professionally staged homes,
- Real-time fitness and golf session clips,
- Engaging “heavy hitter speed training” videos.
Ty’s platform exhibits both passive (branded posts) and active (comment engagement, story replies) strategies aligned with Instagram best practices for growth and lead generation.
Fitness Coaching: Athleticism Beyond the Green
Ty doesn’t stop at coaching golf—he’s also a certified Lagree Fitness and private trainer, bringing a holistic focus to athletic performance. Whether working with individuals or groups, his training sessions emphasize functional strength, mobility, and endurance, all essential whether you’re swinging a driver or simply staying fit beyond childhood sports.

His endurance background supports his credibility: he’s not only talking about physical optimization—he lives it.
