Teaching Philosophy

• I teach individuals the game of golf. I dont believe in one single swing method for all my students.
• Each person has their own approach to learning. Experience has given me multiple ways to communicate. My role is to understand your style and provide the best communication in order to maximize your learning potential.
• Together, based on your goals, motivations, and abilities, we will create an individualized roadmap to your success. The plan must be achievable and understandable at all times. I will never ask you to do something I dont truly believe you can do.
• Great setup fundamentals are essential and possible. Since many swing issues are directly influenced by the setup, developing an efficient and personal pre-shot routine is important.
• The more things we can do well earlier, the fewer things we have to correct later.
• Improving in golf takes practice, persistence, and patience. Rarely, if ever, are there quick fixes which translate into lasting improvement.
• Even Tiger Woods and Annika Sorenstam have coaches. None of us can do it alone.
• Short game, short game, short game!!!! For most people, the fastest way to lower scores is improved putting, chipping, pitching, greenside bunker shots, and less than full swing wedges.
• Playing better golf is not just about beating balls on the range. Smart practice is not the same as a lot of practice.
