Diego Guerrero

Born and raised in Tucson, Arizona and have played golf for 18 years. The swing intrigued me at a very young age, and let’s just say that hasn’t changed a bit. This game has brought so many great people and opportunities in my life, and my goal is to teach others in hopes to present the same opportunities for them!
