Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The first session is generally 45 minutes and will include a full review and evaluation of your golf swing. Once I have identified the key issues and explained them to your complete satisfaction I will explain the 1 or 2 most important changes that will allow you to begin the transformation of your swing into a more efficient motion that is easier to repeat and which produces more consistent results.
Together we will design a personalized improvement program that fits your schedule and your goals.
