Teaching Principles:

My teaching philosophy revolves around educating the golfer on the awareness of patterns that cause the golf ball to fly or roll where it goes. After this is understood, it then becomes a matter of achieving efficiency in the golfer's motion. This is done by reducing excess moving parts and making the golfer's patterns simple and reliable.

Teaching Principles:

My Philosophy is based upon solid fundamentals as a foundation to build from. It's my goal to interpret the mechanics of the swing to the student through verbal, visual and physical cues with a hands on style. The students goals, experience, strength and flexibility help to determine the approach we use to bridge the gap between where we start and what we want to accomplish in the students game. We strive for the best we can be and have fun doing so.

I don't believe in one single swing method for all my students. Through effective communication I work with each student to develop goals as well as a roadmap for success based on their swing since there is no one swing that fits everyone. In order to improve in golf it will take practice, persistence, and patience combined with instruction and smart practice.
