About
I have been a PGA Golf Professional since 2017 and have been the Head Golf Professional at Chesapeake Bay Golf Club since 2019. I have mentored hundreds of golfers since then, ranging from high school state champions, Division 1 golfers, as well as beginners of all ages.
I am an expert in golf bio-mechanics and utilize high speed cameras and TrackMan technology to assist my students in becoming prolific ball strikers. I quickly and effectively get to the root of each student's swing mechanic deficiencies and provide clarity on what the issues are, why they are detrimental to your performance, and a clear path to improvement.

Fantastic experience! Andrew was very patient, and extremely knowledgeable! He kept the points simple and easy to understand, got me hitting straight after a few minutes of instruction, and provided me with tools to get in the game! He knows his stuff, I will be going back to him soon!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I first like to ask the student their golfing experiences, their athletic background, as well as any injuries that cause discomfort during the swing. We then get the student to take swings on film. Once they are warmed up, it's pretty easy to see exactly what we need to work on. I dive right in.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a student of the game, blessed to be surrounded by some of the most successful and talented golfers in the game. I have seen the best, rubbed shoulders with the best, and have worked with some of the best instructors in the world such as Dr. Robert Neil, Adam Bazalgette, Andrew Park, and my father who worked with David Leadbetter, Bob Toski, Dave Stockton, Andy Plummer etc.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Adult Lessons: $80 / hour
Junior Lessons: $70 / hour
Group clinics - based off my hourly rate. For example, 90 minutes would be $120, 2 hours would be $160.
Packages - also based off hourly rate.
How did you get started teaching?
I have been teaching golf for a long time. I come from a long line of great golfers, so I have always had a great understanding of the golf swing. Teaching comes naturally to me, and with the technology I have it's never been easier to nail down the swing.
What types of students have you worked with?
I prefer to work with more advanced golfers (highly skilled juniors, collegiate golfers, scratch golfers, single-digit handicappers, good mid-ams) who are looking to get serious with the game, but I do work with all skill levels from intermediate to complete beginners.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I have a few really good junior golfers I teach, seeing them start to win big golf tournaments has been a lot of fun.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I specialize in ballstriking, and am an expert in the iron swing. I am also a great driver distance coach - I am well regarded as one of the longest hitting pros in the area.
I don't believe in gimmicky drills, you need real feels you can take on the golf course right away, as well as things to work on in the mirror and on video.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Forget the noise you get from magazines, YouTube instructors, and from your friends. What you probably think is happening in your swing and what is reality is often different. The reality is your ball flight and shot patterns. When working with an instructor, tell them about your ball flight. Go in with an open mind and accept that change is only as hard as you make it to be.
