How did you get started teaching?
I grew up playing the game of golf and have a passion for it. It is great to share that with my students and see them develop.
What types of students have you worked with?
Amateurs, juniors, ladies, college athletes, professionals
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
We recently had a wounded warriors day where several instructors worked with the military and gave them instruction on the range and then played a few holes with them. Everyone took something away from the experience.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Hire a PGA Professional. Everyone has a "tip" for you and your golf swing. Sometimes short term gain may be more detrimental in the long term.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Always understand your abilities. If you have any injuries or physical limitations you might not be able to hit it 300 yards, but we can get you hitting it consistently. Also if you are not going to get out and practice what you learn on your own then it could be a constant struggle.
