Mai Approach
'Golf Fore Life' : Holistic Way to Your Full Potential
"If you deeply observe, everything is your teacher." – The Buddha
Mai views golf as a reflection of life—a journey where every moment holds a lesson. For her, 'Golf Fore Life' means applying insights gained from the game to living fully: finding joy, staying healthy, building meaningful relationships, and embracing continuous growth.
​
Golf teaches patience, resilience, and self-awareness—qualities that extend far beyond the course.
Her "Theory, Witness, and Application" —in simpler terms refers to learning, teaching, and performing in that order. Learning comes first, as Mai believes self-awareness and humility are essential to growth.
One of her favorite quotes from Socrates captures this idea:
​
"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing."​
​
LEARN
"KNOW THYSELF."
Self-awareness, introspection, and understanding of one's character, values, and limitations. It suggests that by truly knowing oneself, one can make better decisions, live authentically, and achieve a deeper sense of wisdom and contentment.
​
And of course, play better golf.
- Mai
Learn.Teach.Perform.
​
Mai firmly believes that success lies not just in learning, but in its meaningful application to humanity. As a teacher, she encourages a teaching style that not only imparts knowledge but also inspires her students to reflect deeply, with the aim that they can, in turn, teach others. This approach fosters a deeper understanding and mastery of the subject, aligning with the idea that teaching is, in essence, learning twice.

​
TEACH
PERFORM
She believes that everything we do serves a higher purpose—whether it’s breaking 90 on the golf course, being the best parent, or running a marathon. For her, performing when it truly matters is what makes the effort meaningful. This philosophy is why Mai continues to challenge herself on the world stage, embracing competition as a way to grow. She emphasizes that the process holds greater significance than the outcome, as it’s through the journey that we discover purpose and fulfillment.
​
Philosophy.
As a lifelong learner, experienced instructor, and world-ranked athlete- she does it all. Mai brings a rare and complete perspective to her students' journeys.
She embodies the principles of transformational leadership, believing that actions speak louder than words. Coaches, she insists, must lead by example, as students learn more from what they observe than from what they are told. In this context, golf becomes a powerful vehicle for empowerment, instilling values that endure beyond the game.​
