Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
the first step is to assess where each individual student is with regard to his/her ability level as well as having the student/player provide what their goals in golf are. From there, we can put together a comprehensive lesson plan to help the player/student achieve their goals.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been playing Professional tournament golf for almost 40 years. I have played on the Asian Tour, the Canadian Tour, the NGA Hooters Tour and am currently a member of the Senior Asian Tour. I am a certified Master Instructor and a member of the International PGA. I continue to study the golf swing on a daily basis in an effort to be able to impart the most useful information to my students.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Current pricing is: Single session -$90 per hour; Five (5) session package - $400; 10 session package - $750. Lessons include launch monitor numbers and video analysis.
How did you get started teaching?
I got started teaching quite by accident. I was practicing on the range and was asked how I was hitting certain shots. After I demonstrated, the individual said I had given him a great, and easy to understand, explanation, and said I would make a good instructor. As I started playing fewer tournaments, I started teaching more and have since become passionate about the teaching process and imparting my extensive golf knowledge on to others.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with all types of students. My youngest student was 3 years old. I have worked with high handicappers, beginners and advanced players. I have worked with high school, college and professional players.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Wow, too numerous to list. I recently attended the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, so that is probably the most recent event.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
If the instructor is trying to put you into a "cookie cutter" swing, run, not walk, away.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
there are three most important questions, in my opinion. First, what are my goals in golf? Second, are those goals reasonable and realistic? Third, and maybe most important, am I willing to commit to putting in the work required to achieve those goals? The higher you want to go, the more work that is required.
