David Conforti is a PGA golf instructor at Palos Verdes Golf Club on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Los Angeles County, one of Southern California's most prestigious and scenically positioned private clubs — a course set on the cliffs above the Pacific Ocean with views of the Catalina Channel, the Los Angeles coastline, and the Santa Monica Bay that make it arguably the most visually spectacular private club setting in the greater LA area. The course plays with the strategic demands of cliff-edge terrain — coastal wind is a constant variable, the ocean views create visual distraction that experienced players learn to filter out, and the green complexes reward players who can control their trajectory and land approaches on the correct portion of the green. Conforti's instruction at this dramatic venue serves a membership that approaches the game with the seriousness commensurate with the quality of the facility.
