Working with Coach Kuhn is a game-changer for me and my development as a golfer. Our coach-player relationship is built on trust, patience, and a shared drive to improve every part of my game. Coach Kuhn knows exactly when to challenge me and when to support me, helping me grow both mentally and technically on the course. Under his expert guidance, I achieve significant milestones, including winning both the WPIAL and State championships, as well as earning numerous top 5 and top 10 finishes in other major tournaments. Coach Kuhn’s deep understanding of the game and personalized coaching approach create an environment where I continue to excel. Our relationship is built on mutual respect and a shared commitment to excellence. I am truly grateful for his constant support and the key role he plays in my development both on and off the course.
- Mya Morgan, Pennsylvania State Girls HS Champion, WPGA Player of the Year
Coach Kuhn doesn’t just teach the game of golf-he inspires confidence and a passion for the game. Over the past 6 years of working with him, my entire game has been transformed. When I started with Coach Kuhn I averaged in the mid 80s, and we have progressively worked to get this average into the 70s and into the 60s heading into college golf. He is the type of coach that molds a swing to fit your specific pattern and believes strongly that there isn’t only one way to swing a club based on a particular person’s mechanics. Beyond the swing, Coach Kuhn has helped immensely with strategy on the course, building mental toughness and resilience. My dream in high school was to play Division I golf and I am so grateful for everything he has done to ensure this goal could be achieved. I truly couldn’t recommend a coach more highly. He instills that improving your swing/score is a process but with hard work there are truly no limits to success.

My good friend David Kuhn is one of the best teachers in golf. David is a seeker of all things golf…for his students, for his children, for himself. What you get from David is what he knows in his heart to be true. He’ll extend his hand to you. Take it.
- Lynn T. Blake, Founder & Director – Lynn Blake Golf, LLC & PGA Tour Coach
David’s knowledge of the golf swing ranks with the top instructors in the nation. Understanding there isn’t “ONE WAY” to move the body and club is one of his biggest attributes as a teacher/coach. He’s the first one I go to for my own swing. Thanks for all your guidance as a teacher and a student.

Coach Kuhn is my swing coach and mentor as a golf instructor. Lynn Blake Master Instructor, The Golfing Machine, AimPoint, GCQuad, Capto… This is the coach to see if you are serious about competitive golf, and his clinics and instructional staff are the best for getting you to your playing goals or helping your kids fall in love with the game.
- J.R. Pond, PGA, Lynn Blake Cerified Instructor, PGM Director, PennWest University—California
I highly recommend Mr. David Kuhn for helping anyone with their golf games. For me, there are two important aspects for a coach I’d consider to coach myself and my own son. #1 Does he have a good character and personality that I’d like my son to be around? #2 Does he know his business and as importantly, can he communicate that so that it can be understood simply? Dave is all of this…. and he goes about his business with detail and passion that is professional, genuine, and inspiring. I’m glad we finally had time to work together, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it and I’ve learned a lot.
- Missie Berteotti, LPGA Professional, LPGA Tour winner, Lynn Blake Certified Instructor & author of Mental Mastery
I took the Lynn Blake Certification (for coaches) from David this past winter. Wow does this guy know his stuff! David opened my eyes to so many key fundamentals in the golf swing and can go toe to toe with any coach in the country in my opinion. Most impressing to me is his work with his junior golf academy. The structure and results he produces is something that I try to replicate at my own course. David has improved my teaching, my personal game, my students performance and you can’t ask for a better person to spend time with!
- Brent Wilkerson, PGA, Operation 36 Top 50 Instructor, Lynn Blake Certified Instructor, MCG Golf Academy, Clarksburg, MD.
David Kuhn is truly one of the best instructors I have ever witnessed teach the golf swing and the way he combines golf instruction with overall coaching “the entire athlete” is truly a recipe for long term success. I have witnessed firsthand David teach a number of lessons and clinics over the years including presentations on Aim Point and the foundation of the golf swing using the Golfing Machine and Lynn Blake fundamentals. As a golf professional myself, it takes a lot to impress me when it comes to teaching the golf swing and I place David Kuhn as one of the game’s best. We are truly blessed to have him in Pittsburgh yet I would fly across the country to have him analyze my golf swing.
- Justin Barroner, PGA, Lynn Blake Certified Instructor, Department Chair for Exercise & Sports Science, PennWest University—California
David Kuhn is a model golf instructor. He possesses an unending appetite to learn all he can about the mechanics of the golf swing and the best ways to communicate those ideas to his students. I don’t think there is a book that he has not read or researched. David has put in the time and done the due diligence to learn the golf swing and become a Master Teacher. No short cuts. He has done the work and it shows. But where David excels is that he can tailor his teaching to fit the needs of the student so the student should not expect a “one size fits all” lesson. The other thing that elevates Kuhn above his peers is his that he legitimately cares deeply about his students. The success of his students is of the upmost importance to him and that caring is reflected by the accomplishments of his students. David Kuhn is a genuine teacher and coach and it is a privilege to call him a colleague.
- David Graham, PGA, Faldo Certified, Lynn Blake Certified Master Instructor – The Marriott Golf Academy (former instructor to Sir Nick Faldo), Orlando, FL.
First of all, David’s AimPoint Express class literally changed the way I look at putting. Talk about a game-changer! Take it now…trust me. Secondly, I’ve observed him at work and his approach to teaching the swing is truly individualized. He doesn’t force ‘his way’ of swinging the club; he determines which methods will work best for each golfer that comes through the KGA. When he says he imposes ‘No Limits’ on what a player can do, he’s telling the truth!
- Matt Gajtka, Amateur Golfer and Founder of Pittsburgh Golf Now
The Kuhn Golf Academy propelled my success as a high school player and ultimately into earning a college scholarship. Coach Kuhn and his staff are very insightful not only about the golf swing but also about the mental and physical side of the game. With top-notch facilities and training aids the opportunities for improvements in the KJGA are never-ending
- J.W. Cunningham, former KJGA Student and Peters Township HS alumnus and NCAA Division 1 golfer at Saint Francis University
I first came to Coach Kuhn in my sophomore year of high school as a JV golfer who struggled to break 90. I had immense passion for the game yet struggled to improve and was very frustrated. Needless to say, Coach Kuhn’s program works; I finished my senior year as a WPIAL finalist reaching the goal that I set with Coach Kuhn the previous year. I also went on to win at the college level! The KJGA helped me to become the best golfer that I could be and taught me many life lessons along the way. Thanks Coach Kuhn!
- Ben Peticca, KJGA Student who went from struggling JV player to WPIAL individual finalist & college player & winner at NCAA Division 3 W&J College
The Kuhn Junior Golf Academy was the consummate learning experience for my son Ben. In just 2 years, Coach Kuhn took him from the JV team to the WPIAL Individual finals at Oakmont!
- Dr. Bernie Peticca, father of KJGA student Ben Peticca
The Kuhn Junior Golf Academy helped me take my game to the next level, physically and mentally. Coach Kuhn has prepared me for the college level and beyond and I wouldn’t be the golfer or person that I am today without him.
- Connor Schmidt, Professional golfer, former KJGA student, Peters Township Golf Alumnus, NCAA Division 1 golfer at Drexel University, and U.S. Amateur participant in 2017 and 2019
I had been contemplating learning about AimPoint for a couple years and decided in 2020 that I would find an instructor and bring them to Pete Dye Golf Club to educate myself as well as our Members. That is when I found David Kuhn. His AimPoint clinic was fantastic! Our Members as well as myself were thoroughly engaged and entertained the entire time we spent with David………………….and yes we all became better putters.
After the clinic was over David and I found ourselves talking about the golf swing and I knew at that point I was with an instructor that could help me find my long-lost swing. David is unbelievably educated as far as the mechanics of the golf swing and can help anyone. I for one am looking forward to working with David for many years to come!
- Chris McGinnis, PGA Director of Golf at Pete Dye Golf Club
I came to Dave with no prior experience working with a coach, but I knew immediately he was world-class. I worked with Dave from my junior golf days through my two years in professional golf. He never tried to reinvent the wheel with my game or offer a one-swing-fits-all philosophy. He’s a phenomenal communicator and uses his years of golf experience and expertise to help you improve what you already do well and inform parts of your game that need improvement. I owe my success to Dave – from getting a D1 offer to turning pro and competing against the top players in the game.
- Chris Tanabe, Former D1 Golfer & PA Amateur Champion, USGA National Development Program Team Coordinator
Dave is a very gifted golf instructor with the ability to work with an individual’s swing without forcing conformity to some ’norm’. He fine-tuned my son’s game to provide him with the tools to elevate his golf game. His instruction with AimPoint gave my son much needed confidence on the greens, being able to read putts with much greater accuracy. After working with Dave, my son enjoyed the BEST year of his junior career and will be continuing competitive golf at the collegiate level. I would highly recommend Dave to anyone looking to improve and get to the next level.
- Jennifer Tanabe, mother of KJGA students Chris and Michael Tanabe
Coach Kuhn and his golf academy got me to the next level that I had to get to in order to progress in my high school career. I went from not even making it out of sectionals my junior year to placing 6th at the WPIAL AA Individual Championship, 3rd and the PIAA Western Regional , and competing in the PIAA Finals. This is 100% because of the progress that I made in the Kuhn Junior Golf Academy.
