David Jacobo is a PGA golf instructor at Oak Creek Golf Club in Irvine, an Arnold Palmer-designed course built into the rolling terrain of South Orange County that is consistently regarded as one of the better public-access layouts in the region. The Palmer design uses natural contours to create a variety of shot demands — uphill approaches, sidehill lies, and greens that are more protected and complex than they appear from the fairway — which gives Jacobo a useful instructional canvas for teaching students to think through their shot selection and play the course rather than simply swinging at every flag. His lessons are available to players across all skill levels at a daily-fee facility that draws a consistent and golf-serious crowd from across the Irvine and South County area.
