Teaching Principles:
My instruction philosophy and methods have been shaped by thirty years of teaching, thousands of individual lessons, hundreds of clinics/camps, personal play, and observation of excellent players. I enjoy teaching all levels of golfers.
Beginners need to be taught the basics and the overall swing concept. Neither is complicated but both can be difficult without proper explanation. This solid foundation assures progress as you practice.
It takes experience to decipher flaws in a good players' swing. In theses instances, my playing experience and observing tour players aids my instruction. In many cases the experienced player needs just a minor tune-up.
My teaching goal is to make my students better players, allowing them to lower their scores and feel good about their games.
