MoreBirdies Golf Shop

I would rather tweak not rebuild a swing, although if the desire and committment is there,  I would do a rebuild,  I can usually see a swing fault in the first 5 minutes. Then work at that one or two things and not have to overhaul the whole swing.

With new students it all about fundementals, set-up and routine I usally recommend 10 lessons package which at the end I am confident you will have the tools to sucessfully play and have fun.

I have been a Golf Pro for over 40 years, former PGA. I have a Golf Shop called MoreBirdies Golf Shop in Land Park Sacramento.

I have taught at many golf courses in this area. I decided to go on my own in 2006  and I am having a great time doing what I love.

I like to work on the basics and then on to how to contact and control the golf ball.

In a typical case a 15 handicapper is 6 strokes from single digits

6 strokes is a couple of doubles, 2 or 3- 3 putts and most importantly that longest 6- inches in golf, between your ears! Yes I believe a 15 handicapper can be a single digit when we eliminate those items.

I teach at my NEWLY remodeled studio with the  state of the art Sky Trak Golf and EXPutt Simulators  I have all the electronics, swing speed , ball flight, spin rate, smash factor, equipment we need to put your swing in tune.

I am available 6 days a week to fit your schedule. I keep my students to a very manageable level, so I am able to focus on you 120%

I like an introductory lesson to make sure we are able to work together, and you like what I can do for you. After that we can decide if you want to move forward and what lesson plan will work for you.

You may find cheaper lessons but, you won't find a more qualified instructor. If you allow me to help you correct those bad habits and costly mistakes, we can shave 5 to 10 strokes off your handicap. If you want to get better, "Learn from the Best"

I look forward to working with you, Let's get started!

I started when I stopped playing competive tournaments. 

I took a lot of lessons as my career advanced and learned and enjoyed each and everyone, but always felt that most instructors over taught. My idea is to comunicate well and keep it as simple as possible in this wonderful game I love.

Adults, Seniors, Juniors, Men, Women and Children

I have helped students get on their High school teams and the on to College scholarships and I have taught their kids as well

I have worked with PGA Pros and many Pros on the in mini tours

Had a student taught him to play golf, then taught his daughter who started at 10 years old. She played on her High school team then got a full ride scholarship at a great college and now I am working with her 7-year-old!       What a wonderful world! That's what it is all about!

Look for someone that is patience and understandable make sure you're comfortable and at ease. Make sure you can communicate well. Ask lots of questions and Practice. Practice , Practice! Do not take the committment lightly, this sport has to become part of you and you can play it forever!

Are you willing to commit?

Do you have time to set aside for practice?

Can you set goals for this game?

Are you looking for golf as fun or are you serious about it.

Can you communicate with your instuctor? 

Are you comfortable with your instuctor?
