John's Own Your Swing system uses Biomechanical screening to assess each individuals body function allowing his students to fully understand their most efficient way to swing the club from the first lesson on. His theory is if you aren't measuring, you're guessing. The Own Your Swing screening takes less than 15 minutes, and quantitatively shows each student their ideal grip, trail arm fold, backswing plane, downswing plane, posture, stance width, foot flare, ideal pressure shift and timing of pressure shift, as well as teir dominate and secondary force multipliers. He combines this with the use of Sportsbox AI and GC Quad to measure what connot be seen to create the full picture and understanding for each student. Once the swing blueprint is established, the focus turns to owning "impact skills" (path, club face, low point, strike on the face control) which completes the circle and simplifies controlling/owning the ball flight. Through his system of screening, measurements and drills, it has dramatically decreased the time it takes for students from beginner to professionals to improve, understand and own their swings.

Highlighted by 1st Team All-American honors in 2004, 2005 & 2006 and a spot in the USA vs Japan Cup at Stanford University Golf Course in 2005.

“My belief is that everyone is unique in what they bring to their individual golf games. We all have different biomechanics, injury histories, body types and overall understanding of the game. Together, with each student, my desire is to identify and coordinate a realistic plan of getting them from where they are to where they want to be. Both in the short-term and the long-term. Golf is not an easy game and it will test each person in their desire and pursuit of improvement. It is really fun when that effort starts to produce results. If I can help someone get closer to their goals and make a new friend along the way that is what it’s all about for me teaching this great game.”

Coleby Loveness, who has been staff at The Home Course since early 2021, has entered the PGA program and will continue at the course in his new role.
Coleby played football for three years at Mount Vernon (Wash.) High School, serving as team captain all three years. He then played football for three years while attending Pacific Lutheran University, playing quarterback for the Lutes. During his senior year at PLU, he switched to golf, playing on the men’s team in the fall of 2022 before graduating.
While attending PLU, Coleby began working at The Home Course in the spring of 2021, starting out in the outside services, running carts, working the driving range. In high school, he had worked at Eaglemont Golf Course in Mount Vernon, and was drawn to working at a golf course again.
Coleby began hanging around the PGA pros at The Home Course, helping out where he could, and playing golf with them whenever he had the time. “I liked watching how they helped people enjoy the game, get better at it,” he says. “They help them ‘chase that feeling’ you get when you’re playing well. And that’s what I want to do, help people have that feeling.”
In April 2023 Coleby entered the PGA program, and is now serving as a B-8 second-assistant PGA professional. The program takes about three years to complete, and consists of classes, playing ability tests, and earned credits.
"I believe that anyone can practice enough to meet their standards of play in the game of golf, although the practice needs to be done on the correct mechanics/skills to see improvements. It takes an insane number of reps to get better at this game so it is important to set short and long-term goals and be patient with the process. Being a new instructor, I rely on past athletic experience to draw connections to the golf swing such as converting from a baseball swing or a former quarterback syncing up the lower body. Golf is meant to be FUN; anyone is more than welcome to come see me and have a great time while growing our love for this great game!"
