    If you are looking to learn the game and improve your skills – you want to work with Keith. I
    connected with Keith because I wanted to learn how to play golf. My friends and colleagues
    were avid golfers and I wanted to become proficient enough to be able to join them for
    games. Outside of mini-golf, I had never golfed before – I didn’t even own go... Show more

    Coach Keith is such a fun and great coach to work with. He’s very patient and is focused

    The faults in my golf swing were addressed and corrections were made. The physical
    limitations of my body and age were considered so that all adjustments I was capable to
    do. Each person is unique and requires a separate solution.

    Frequently asked questions

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Wow, too numerous to list. I recently attended the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, so that is probably the most recent event.

    If the instructor is trying to put you into a "cookie cutter" swing, run, not walk, away.

    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.
