Daniel Griffin is a PGA golf instructor at Mountain View Country Club in La Quinta, a private community in the Coachella Valley with a course that provides its membership with an exclusive desert golf experience in a quieter, more intimate setting than the large resort complexes that dominate the Palm Springs area market. The Mountain View membership plays the course regularly and approaches the game with the competitive seriousness that consistent access to a private facility tends to develop — players who know every contour of their home course and expect their lesson programs to address the specific challenges that course presents. Griffin's instruction serves members at every level from developing players working through the game's fundamentals through competitive members refining the scoring wedge and putting skills that determine most of their rounds' outcomes.
