About
I provide the finest in Golf Instruction to beginners, high handicap, mid and low handicap golfers. I provide quality golf instruction to professional golfers also. If you have been playing for a long time, you already have "Your" swing. I just tweak the edges to get you to hit more fairways, greens, and have FUN!!!
I have provided over 20,000 lessons to some great players. I am a PGA Member and Certified through the PGA in Teaching and Coaching.
I have been a Coach of the year for 2018. 2019 and 2020.
I have a passion for teaching and wanting golfers to enjoy the game and have FUN. My website is: www.thewrightwaytoplaygolf.com
I enjoy seeing my students having FUN!!! That is what I provide. The ability for the golfers to have FUN. Hit more fairways, hit more greens, chip better, putt better. SCORE BETTER. I help them have FUN.
I provide slow motion video because most folks are visual learners. I also email my students what we worked on the last lesson. I provide drills that can be performed at home to learn a better swing. I use a lot of training aids for the student to get the feel of the swing. All this makes having the game more FUN. My students get more consistent and play better golf.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I ask how long they have been playing golf. Then I ask if they have any lessons before. I make the student feel comfortable with me. I ask what they believe is the biggest issue in their golf game. I don't try to change an entire swing, just make little tweaks and explain how the golf swing works.
I explain that I am not a method teacher. Everyone is different.
I use slow-motion video and send an email the following day to the student on what we worked on. I provide the student with appropriate drills to do at home to get the feel of a great swing.
