About
My passion is seeing you improve. My Teaching Philosophy is to make small tweaks as needed in your grip, grip pressure, alignment, stance, backswing and follow thru. Eliminating excessive movement which leads to inconsistency will be a priority. Using video so you can see what I see to give you a good idea of what we are trying to improve.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First step is talking about your golf game; your strengths, your weaknesses, any injuries we need to work around, your attitude and self talk on the course. Talk about your expectations for our time together.
Take a few videos and show you what areas need improvement. Then get to work on your new swing.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
in 1996 I began my journey as a Teaching Professional under the tutelage of my golf pro, Larry Root a lifetime member of the PGA. His father, Gene Root, is in the Colorado Golf Hall of Fame.
Larry taught me to use my students ability and only tweak their swing as needed to help them improve. Introduce the mental side of the game.

What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Being very honest with themselves about their ability, their strengths, their weakness, and their self talk while playing.
