About
I have been blessed to work with PGA Hall of Instructor Dr.Gary Wiren and Lifetime PGA Tour Member, Wally Armstrong. I keep my instruction simple. Golf is difficult, but I make it fun for you by matching your movements to improve your game, not by mimicking someone else's swing.
I love to experience pure joy when my students improve and enjoy our great game.
