Golf is Hard…
But it doesn’t have to be as difficult as you’re making it.
Our experienced, highly awarded, and knowledgeable instructors can help you play better golf immediately and for years to come. Whether you’re a beginner, an aspiring high school or college player, a recreational adult, an advanced amateur, or a Tour player, Golf Evolution has experience helping players just like you reach their next level.
Golf Evolution is located in the heart of downtown Erie, at 446 W. 12th Street, near the Prep Events Center in a spacious 7600 square foot building as well as at select local courses during warmer months. Our indoor academy is purpose-built to help you get better at all aspects of the game, with state-of-the-art tech to help.
We offer a full-range of lessons, both private and group, on the full swing, short game, and putting. We’ve written a best-selling book, Lowest Score Wins, and created the 5 Simple Keys system, which was the best-selling golf instructional DVD in the world for five years straight.

I’ve been to different instructors over the years and Golf Evolution is the best. They were able to identify the underlying problems in all areas of my game and help me improve. They are knowledgeable and effective at communicating what the priority for my swing is without giving me too many things to work on at once. I shaved several strokes off my game this season and am enjoying golf more than ever before.

I’ve taken lessons from a lot of pros, many of them with a significant social media following, and among instructors, not just the general public – I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say Erik is one of the best golf minds out there. My game was spiraling downwards and I was on the cusp of quitting and he turned it around, diagnosed a reoccurring shank that has literally plagued me for years. Not just that, but he fine tuned my on-course game, short game, and putting and now I’m looking forward to playing golf again. I drove 7 hours, each way, to work with him and it was totally worth it.
