GolfforLife

I am a HS Assistant Golf Coach and substitute teacher. I am NOT a certified PGA instructor but I am very knowledgeable of the proper golf swing mechanics. I am also a keen observer and I make my instructions simple and manageable and something a student can execute.

I have very good rapport with young players 10-15 years old and beginner adults.

I am patient, encouraging and try to instill love for the game, knowledge of rules and proper on course behavior and golf etiquette.

My goal is to instill a love for the game and light a passion for the game that lasts a lifetime.

I break down instruction into simple understandable concepts and work with the students’ natural skills and where they are in their golf development.

I can also help with on-course management and the mental aspects of the game.

I try not to place undue pressure on a student and let them develop at their own pace.

I do not possess technical equipment or use it in my training and while I am not a physiotherapist I do try to reduce a student’s long term possibility of injury by making sure their swings do not place too much torque on their body.

For HS players, I will also address the pressure of playing in competitive Matches and try to stress ways to relax and not make a golf Match a major stress event.

I try to keep all my sessions relaxed and upbeat.

I am trying to help players improve. If a player has the skill and desire to become more competitive and a top player I will happily pass them up the ladder to a different colleague focused on that kind of training.
