About
Every lesson I give is customized to suit each student's strengths and learning abilities. I take the time to listen to what a student is looking for before starting any instruction in order to get the best possible results from a plan we can both agree on. My background and success as a golf professional in the private club industry has shown me how to use my talents to deliver the highest possible level of service to every individual I have the opportunity to work with.
Sharing a "light bulb moment" with a student is incredibly rewarding to me, as well as knowing I've helped someone enjoy and understand the game of golf at a higher level than they had before. I think golf is a great game for anyone because it tests a player's mental and physical abilities, no matter what level they are at, and can provide a lifetime of great moments for those that play it.
