TRUST
You see I am an Artist, the sky is my canvass, the club or racquet is the brush, the ball is the paint, and if you work with me each shot you hit will be a Masterpiece!
I offer encouragement and support to the inexperienced. I am never hard, punishing or intrusive. If you've never played golf or tennis I am the coach for you as I have a patient step by step approach. You'll learn all the core fundamentals, terminology, rules, and of course etiquette.
Outdoors rewarding fun when you see a flower bloom. Skillful golf or tennis is created slowly and carefully. The approach I teach is feeling and movement and equanimity all wrapped up in balance.

Kevin is an outstanding coach who I have been working with the last 4 months. I had stopped playing golf for about ten years and he helped me rediscover my swing and the love of the sport. He is patient, personable, flexible, detail oriented, and has an encyclopedic knowledge of golf.
