Elite Golf Lessons
About
Having been a Director of Instruction for 10 years at the biggest Golf Lesson company, I've taken a leap into self employment. I've used every piece of technology in the Golf world including one that I sell currently that allows me to create an Avatar and swing metrics from anywhere in the world including the course. My attitude is unmatched as multiple references would admit my patience is second to none when it comes to instruction. I teach a process based on an individuals goals and issues. I realize one swing doesn't fit all so I like to really get to know my student and work on a plan. As opposed to a one lesson fixes all type lesson.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
You pay for what you get and I would be very careful about taking cheap lessons. I've taught enough bad lessons to learn what works and what doesn't.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Is there a plan? How many lessons will it take to reach your goals and how long? Have you seen issues like mine before?
