BJ Paul Golf Instruction
About
Teaching Philosophy: As a PGA Professional my number one ambition is to promote the game of golf by giving my clients personalized golf instruction based on their goals and aspirations. I will create a fun atmosphere by delivering an upbeat lesson experience while keeping it simple for my clientele. I believe that the low point of the swing and ball flight laws should be the main focus during a lesson. Face and Path are laws that dictates how and where a ball will fly. Each client must understand cause and effect, basically what they do first before making a specific change.
No two people are identical and no two golf swings are either. By giving you the building blocks of the golf swing and customizing an approach, you will not only learn correct technique, but more importantly, you will learn how to practice effectively. I look forward to the opportunity of helping you reach your goals and master a repeatable motion in all aspects of the game.
