About
Hello my name is Daniel Silva, Golf Instructor. My service excels in teaching my students all aspects of this sport. I analyze and focus my priority on creating the correct swing according to the physical characteristics of the students, achieving a solid contact with the golf ball.
I enjoy everything I do about my job, total teaching, mutual trust and respect between student and teacher, setting goals and achieving them, celebrating the first good shots and making them fall in love with their swing, their effectiveness. I started learning to play golf at the age of 10, today I am 72 years old. If I had to write my golf history, I could write a book. In Argentina I was an aspiring golf professional at the age of 18, but I liked more to compete as an amateur, keeping a good handicap of 0 to 3 handicap for many years. In my country I won 70 amateur tournaments. I was fortunate to be able to take classes with the best professionals in my country. Roberto De Vicenzo, Eduardo Romero, Angel Cabrera, Ricardo Gonzalez and Jose Coceres. All known internationally.
