Pro Directory Spotlight: David Kulla-Mader, PGA

Finding the right coach can completely transform your time on the course—whether you are working to break 80, introducing your kids to the game, or learning to navigate a physical limitation. That’s why we are thrilled to officially launch the GreenSide News Pro Directory, a curated space connecting our readers with top-tier, community-driven golf instructors.

To kick off our new directory, we are spotlighting our very first featured professional: David Kulla-Mader, the PGA Head Golf Professional at Westchester Golf Course in Los Angeles.

David isn't just an exceptional coach; he is actively changing the landscape of Southern California golf by proving that this game truly belongs to everyone. If you caught our recent feature on his incredible adaptive golf work, you already know how passionate he is about opening up the game to players of all abilities.

Meet David Kulla-Mader: Making Golf Truly Accessible

A third-generation Angelino, David blends classic fundamentals with cutting-edge movement coaching. As a TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) certified professional with thousands of teaching hours under his belt, David doesn't believe in a rigid, one-size-fits-all swing. Instead, he looks at how your unique body moves and builds a swing that works for you.

While he coaches everything from full swing mechanics and sharp short games to on-course strategy and mental imagery, David’s true passion lies in community impact.

"Golf has the power to heal, connect, and empower. Our goal is to remove the barriers to entry and make sure every athlete has a place on the green."

Paving the Way in Adaptive Golf

David is the founder of Los Angeles Adaptive Golf (L.A.A.G.), a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to serving athletes with physical disabilities.

His inclusive coaching methods ensure that players of all ages and abilities can experience the joy and camaraderie of the sport.
