About
My philosophy is to increase golfers enjoyment of the game, help players of all skill levels to find their true "athletic swing" and play to the best of their ability.
Teaching will be personalized for each student. Every golfer has their personal signature, and concept on how to swing the golf club. And each golfer is a unique with different body types, levels of flexibility, speed, strength, fitness and coordination are all some of the components that make every swing an original. No single method suits everybody, but I will find the best way to evaluate these factors and make suggestions that each individual player can utilize. The art of teaching is in the ability to connect with players of any level by interpreting and communicating valid concepts in a way that is interesting, easy to understand, achievable, and enjoyable.
With extensive golf experience, my goals for teaching start with the short game working up through the proper swing mechanics. Within the past few years I've worked with several golfers to help fine-tune their games, and presently I am teaching at Knollwood GC.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
In my program you will see the process that will build the game from the short game up and into long game mechanics. In fact, as their short game improves, the long game will get better, too. Why?
In putts, and small short-game shots, the clubhead doesn't move very far and doesn't move very fast. But the way it moves in relation to your body is the same as it would in a full swing. You will have a better understanding on how the swing works through impact, and the more confidence you feel about your short game, the less fear you'll feel standing over approach shots.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
With over 50 years of golf experience, my goals for teaching start with

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
The golf swing is a natural movement that has been over-analyzed, over-complicated, and completely misunderstood that may lead to inconsistent and poor and golf.
Each and every golf swing is unique and yours is no different. Keep it simple and refine an athletic swing that fits your body type. You need to develop a golf swing and game targeted just for you.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Does your instructor have the expertise to take your game to the next level of your game.
