What People are Saying
"My daughter only had 5 lessons with Kim, and we already see tremendous improvement in her game! Her game has never been better, and she recently almost holed a 12-footer! Kim has ALOT to offer to improve your game, across all skill levels. She always makes it sooooo fun that you forget that you are at the range. I highly recommend her!"
- Ken T.
"One of the best instructors that can break down the golf swing and make you FEEL what she is teaching you! Golfers of all skill levels benefit from Shelley and her approach to the game."
- Yvonne B.
"Shelley has an engaging personality and a teaching style that is patient and encouraging. As a parent, I really appreciate her focus on integrity and etiquette. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great golf game, but more importantly, I recommend her to anyone wanting to help their children learn how the lessons of golf can aid in the development of positive life long habits."
- Helen S.
My lessons with Shelley were instructive and fun! Her approach not only includes the golf skills, but she teaches you about cause and effect so that you can “fix” yourself out on the course. Shelley is talented, easy to work with, very professional and an extremely competent LPGA Instructor.
- Zona T.
My daughter has had multiple lessons with Kim Stevens. Kim is excellent in detecting the tiniest flaws that affect her swing, and even better explaining to the kid in their lingo, and fixing them. My daughter's game has improved tremendously since we met Kim. Her summer camps are a blast as well! On mornings when it was a struggle to wake my child up, on hearing that she has the option to skip camp, she jumps out of bed to go to camp! That says ALOT! We highly recommend Kim Stevens for anyone looking for a great coach!!

My 6 year old daughter started her path in learning golf by the virtue of lessons with Kim. At this age, more than the game it is the instructor that makes a difference in how the child will develop a love for the sport and it was very apparent from the first meet and lesson itself that Kim is a WONDER. When it comes to teaching this age group it takes a certain knack to interact with kids and I can tell you based on my personal experience that my daughter loves this sport because of Kim.
Kim's camps are state of the art. She takes so much personal care of all her students and has the skills and patience to get the best out of everybody. Kim, thank you for what you do each day and help train our kids for their future. We love your camps and lessons.

I took lessons with Shelley after many years of doing it on my own. My first lesson with Shelley triggered eagerness, excitement and anticipation for my next lesson! She’s such a great teacher. Her passion for teaching was clear from the beginning. Extreme gratitude to you Shelley!
- Lana M.
What a wonderful and inspiring introduction to the game of Golf! Kim’s vast knowledge and expertise, as well as her passion and enthusiasm for Golf, make learning Golf a great experience and impetus to continue Golfing! Kim is an awesome Golf Instructor and I highly recommend her!

I spent a few 1 hour sessions with Kim in a small corporate group
class, and it made a world of difference in my golf game. I spent the
last 10 years thinking I could correct my own swing, but never had the
consistency needed to change the final number on the scorecard. After
working with Kim, she was able to make me see things that I would have
never thought about otherwise. And the thing about that, the changes
were simple, and small. At the same time, I had a perception of the
golf swing that was way offline, and I would have continued on that
path of inconsistency without Kim’s incredible insight and
knowledge.
Kim was able to make the class an incredible learning experience,
while taking the time to make sure that we could apply what we were
being taught, and helping us to understand where the improvements can
be made. Even though we were in a group class, I felt like I was
getting personal attention, and most importantly, it was fun!
My long game and my inconsistency were my biggest issues. With Kim’s
guidance, I have been able to improve this part of my game by leaps
and bounds. She gave me things to work on when I go to the range, and
a better way to mentally prepare myself for each shot on the course.
She has given me so much more confidence in my swing and in my mental
approach to the game.
Kim’s experience, knowledge, personality, and her ability to see the
problem, and teach people, all kinds of people, how to see their
potential and make it “work on the course” is what makes her
awesome. Thank you Kim!!
- Steve G.
I decided to take up golf in retirement and took my first of many lessons with Shelley. I knew immediately that I could and would learn from her due to her love of the game and natural teaching ability. My obsession with golf and Shelley’s dedication to my improvement led to me winning Most Improved Golfer Award at my club! Thank you Shelley!
- Denise M.
Shelley has an engaging personality and a teaching style that is patient and encouraging. As a parent, I really appreciate her focus on integrity and etiquette. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great golf game, but more importantly, I recommend her to anyone wanting to help their children learn how the lessons of golf can aid in the development of positive life long habits.
- Michelle S.
I had the privilege of working with Shelley Earl in 2013. Her clinics were something we always looked forward to. Shelley was always so positive with clear instruction. She always had a solution for whatever ailed my swing. I highly recommend Shelley as an instructor. She is excellent with all skill levels and makes playing golf FUN!
- Camille P.
Shelley is amazing! She makes lessons super fun and productive. She intuitively knows what information will be helpful and gives the instruction at a pace that is challenging but not overwhelming. After every lesson, I know what I have accomplished and what I will be working on in the coming week! She has definitely taken many strokes off my game in a very short time and I couldn’t be happier!
- Connie B.
WOW!!! Why couldn't I have had an instructor like Kim from day one? What an amazing break through!…

If you need to fix your game, there is no need to waste your time by watching the golf channel’s “Golf Fix” episodes. Go to Silicon Valley Golf Performance Center, and you will find everything you need there. Thanks to Kim Stevens for fixing my swing. Being more specific, she does not fix the swing, she fixes the perception of playing golf, she “fixes the head”. I just had 3 lessons with her but results were phenomenal. Kim knows exactly what she talks about and adjusted my approach to the game. I could not believe that just three one-hour group lessons so remarkably improved my “short game” and completely change my technique. My chips, pitch, and putts are totally transformed. Last round of 18 holes – 36 putts. I never have done this before.
This what I would say about my experience with Kim
She knows exactly what she is talking about.
Kim explains the subject clearly and in the way that allows you not just to understand, but most important, describes how you need to think of the specific aspect of the game.
I really like her lessons: you learn something new, and you receive your “homework” for the range practice. I have quite a few lessons, but other instructors never done that with me. This is the time and money savings.
I have found my Golf Fix program.
Thank you Kim for making more fun playing golf. Now I am looking forward to work on my irons.
- John C.
As a new golfer, I was surprised at how quickly Shelley was able to help me put together the various aspects of the golf swing. She enabled me to understand and visualize her basic instructions by relating to my “engineering mind”. Shelley is the most patient, supportive and enthusiastic instructor! She is extremely adaptable to your style of learning—no matter how many people are in the group---she is able to easily transition from one style to the next. I give Shelley my highest recommendation!
- Erina D.
What I enjoy and appreciate about Shelley’s teaching methods are the ways in which she incorporates the mental as well as the physical aspects into the golf lessons. She understands the importance of being able to take your swing from the driving range to the course and incorporates practical guidance in how to accomplish this.
- Kathryn B.
Shelley is very punctual and provides clear communication. I like the way she encourages my input into what we want to accomplish in the lesson and couples that with her expertise to get the job done. The lessons are meaningful and enjoyable with many analogies to life and golf. I always feel like we have a plan and I know how to get there.
- Sue B.
I started my experience with Kim in an intermediate golfer group package. Each lesson covered a lot of ground, and the series was structured in a way that made complete sense. She also assessed each person individually. The specific improvements she emphasized with me exactly matched my goals and my game.
Over the five lessons, the results were fantastic. My full swing is much more solid and repeatable. I’m getting an extra 10-20 yards on every swing, depending on the club. My short game and putting also improved significantly.
Kim’s high energy and enthusiasm make each lesson not just extremely worthwhile, but also fun. I highly recommend her.
