PROFESSIONAL EXPERTISE

Trillium has nearly a decade of experience as a golf instructor whose reputation is founded on her solid knowledge of the swing and her simple yet effective communication style. It is her belief that successful golf is not only about technique, but also good course management, sound practice methods and a solid mental game - and this is what make her programs so successful.

By the age of eight, Trillium was swinging a club and was soon after competing in junior tournaments. She was a multi-sport athlete and had a celebrated collegiate lacrosse career (soon afterwards she was honored to the US All-Star Lacrosse Team). However, golf was always her first true love and it's no surprise that with her passion for golf and teaching she turned toward instruction.

She has spent well over 10,000 hours into instruction and coaching. Her influences include many distinguished leaders in the field, most significantly, Jim McLean, where she spent every winter for five years. It was there that she connected with Dr. Rob Neal and his expertise in biomechanics. Other important figures in her professional development are Bob Toski, Marius Filmalter, Carl Welty, Chris Toulson, Jason Carbone, Ted Sheftic and David Glenz, all of whom she spent significant time with.

Her primary interests are motor learning and performance rooted in areas of research outside the field of golf. She focuses on mental performance and psychology and credits her time studying under Dr. Rick Jensen, Dr. Joseph Parent, Dr. Debbie Crews, Lynn Marriott and Pia Nilsson.

Trillium is based in Washington DC where she is the Teaching Professional at the Chevy Chase Club. She has been on numerous radio shows, instructional panels and published in golf periodicals. She also contributes her time to the First Tee in its efforts to provide access to golf to those who otherwise would never have an opportunity to play.
