I have being going to First Tee at 49ers for 3 years now since I was 8 years old. There is one thing I can guarantee the Ladera Golf coaches all have in common—they will make you laugh and help you enjoy learning how to play golf. Be sure to ask Randy for a Joke:) They are great to talk to and teach us lessons about life. I went from my shots going horizontal to heading strait out in to the fairway. First tee coaches are more than just golf coaches, they’re family!
Randy and Jess are amazing coaches! They are very welcoming, enthusiastic and patient. I have had such a great experience with them both coaching both my teenage daughter and almost teenage son for 3 years now. Not only do they provide great skills lessons, but my two have raved about the summer camps and the games they use to grow the love of the game. My daughter has started course play and has learned how to be patient and calculated with her swing. She has also grown such a love for the sport that she is looking forward to pursuing the high school team. Jess and Randy are both so energetic in motivating my two children and all of the other children who come out.
On a professional note, Randy and Jess also came out to provide a professional development training for PE teachers in Vail School District. The two provided fun, useful lesson and game ideas that were immediate take aways that could be implemented in all of the teachers’ classrooms.
I would highly recommend Randy and Jess to help improve anyone’s golf game, young to old.
Randy and Jess are simply stellar. We are so thankful to have had them as our son’s golf instructors through FirstTee Tucson for 3 years. They are warm and welcoming and funny! Quality people that we can’t recommend highly enough.
I have been a part of the First Tee program learning from Randy at the 49er Country Club⛳ for a couple of years. I came in as a small kid who was a left-hander using a right-handed grip to swing my left-handed clubs. I also had shied away from putting time in on my irons and was only good at putting. After these years of learning from Randy and Jess, I have fixed my grip, diversified, and learned how to use all my clubs comfortably. Because of their coaching, I have gotten much better at golf, and can now focus on refining my swings and many micro details to keep improving in golf. Coach Randy and Jess have the enthusiasm and create a good learning environment that makes it easy and encourages us to make friends. I would recommend Coach Randy strongly, and I look forward to learning more each week from them. 🏌️° ⛳

I am a Brit who spends half the year in Tucson, AZ. I am a Veteran of 32 years and also a member of 49er Golf and Country Club.
The first time I saw Randy and Jessica in action was at 49er one Saturday morning about 4 years ago when they were teaching youngsters in the First Tee programme. They truly impressed me with their professionalism, leadership and teaching skills, and I could see the kids were enjoying it too.
Move on 2 years and I became part of the First Tee programme volunteering with them both. It has been a wonderful experience to watch and enjoy how devoted they are to the education of, not just young kids, but also teenagers and now adults. They are knowledgeable, inciteful and dedicated coupled with a real sense of kindness and fun.
I look forward to my continued association with First Tee and Randy and Jessica.
Randy Montgomery at Forty Niner Country Club is a wonderful golf instructor. My very shy 12 year old has been taking private lessons with him for about a month, and within this short period, Randy has helped my son come out of his shell. My son enjoys his conversations with Randy, their lessons, and has been extremely pleased with all the improvements to his golfing abilities. After each lesson I receive an email with their lesson plan, reference pictures of my son, and a list of what routines to practice for the next week. Randy is professional, kind, fun, and very patient with his students, I can’t recommend Randy enough.
I’ve been taking private lessons with Randy for over a year. I am a mid to high handicapper and experienced an immediate improvement after my first lesson. Randy helped me understand how my swing was working (or not working) and gave me useable tips to adjust things when I’m out playing. I appreciate that Randy will take the time to deep dive a topic or can keep it light and fun. He has improved my swing and helped me make better decisions on course, making it more fun for me. He is a patient coach and I understand why he is so great teaching kids the game as well. I have taken lessons on the driving range, chipping/putting areas, on course, and in the simulator. I can attest each was worth the time and money. I drive from Phoenix to Tucson to take lessons. I highly recommend coach Randy for everyone.
My son and I have been taking private lessons for a few months now. I am not very good at all and I think my son knows he can beat me! We are both improving and it’s thanks to Randy and Jess. They have this ability to change teaching styles back and forth as they teach me versus my son. I learn from both lessons! We have been taking lessons in the simulator, followed up with time on the driving range. I look forward to all the golf and time that my son and I will spend together because of this sport. I recommend either Randy or Jess for lessons, they are both great.
Our son and daughter have been taking lessons from coach Randy as part of the First Tee program at 49er Country Club for a few years now. Randy and Jess are great with all of the kids. We trust our kids with them and that’s important to us. Our kids look forward to class each week.
