About

I love to teach the game of golf...I've been playing it for about 65 years. I really hate to see people on the course who are struggling, and not enjoying what they are doing. I will help anyone that wants it. I do not believe that one golf swing fits everyone. What I do, is take the natural swing of the person that I am working with and try to bring out the good parts of it to make a repeatable golf swing. This game can bring great enjoyment, and that is what I am about.

I love to watch clients who come to me learn the basic golf swing and how to make contact with the golf ball and then go forth to the golf course and enjoy the game.

    I am very happy Don answered my request for golf lessons. I have been playing golf for many years,maybe twice a month. As I am getting older, I wanted to play more but was too inconsistent. Don is able to understand what he can and cant change about my game and it has been a real I opener. I love a down to earth straight shooter approach. His constructive criticism is done with class and a passion to teach. I would highly recommend and feel like I could call him anytime and he would give me his honest advice and help where he can.

    After only a couple lessons with Don my golf game has improved immensely. Don is very knowledgeable of the game and uses his years of experience to guide you the whole way. He will give you the how and the why of each tip or suggestion he makes. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their game or even just looking to get started.

    Don did an excellent job of analyzing my swing and finding a simple fix to a long standing problem. I liked the way that he worked with my swing rather than trying to make me conform to a pre=determined ideal. I am looking forward to learning more.

    Don has been an incredible golf coach! My fiance and I have been taking lessons with Don for a few months now and both our swings are drastically better now. We both went from barely being able to hit the ball to being able to make consistent and reliable contact every swing. Don breaks down your swing into simple and understandable steps that make it easy to replicate. Hes super friendly and will have you actually enjoying learning how to play golf. I highly recommend learning from Don!

    Don was very knowledgeable and was able to break my swing down into workable parts. He gave me a few things to work on that have already made a positive impact on my game. I will be back to take more lessons from Don!

    Frequently asked questions

    I like to meet them and get a little information on their problem, and decide what I need to do to help them.

    I have worked with PGA pros , and played with them. I am also a USGA pro, and have worked with children, and adults. I have enjoyed it to a great deal, and as I have said before, I have been playing the game for more than 65years.

    Yes, I charge $50.00 an hour, plus $15 for two buckets of practice balls. On play arounds I charge the same as it is a playing lesson. (No Sunday lessons available.)

    Many years ago, I was playing with a gentleman, who was struggling with his game and was not enjoying his day. One thing I really dislike is to see a person play and not have a good time, so I asked him if he would like a little help, and he said, "Do you think you can really help?", and I said all I could promise is that I would try. He said "Ok.", and at the end of the day he gave me a $50 bill and said he had not had such a good time in a long time. He told me that I should teach, as I really had helped him.

    Men, women, children of all ages - some as young as 5, and men and women as old as 80.

    All golf tourments!

    I would tell them to just meet the coach, and ask the questions that he/she needs to ask, just as the coach should do.

    That would all depend on their knowledge of the game and what it is they believe they are doing wrong.
