Chris' objective is to have his students develop a consistent routine comprised of the basic fundamentals applied by a common sense approach. Students need to have fun, but set goals so they can evaluate their progress along the learning curve. Lessons are crucial in learning a consistent method, but practicing is a must if you want to improve. Golf is harder than it looks, but not as hard as we make it. I look forward to working with you soon.
