About
As a former PGA Apprentice, teaching professional and participant in the Hogan Tour, I am passionate about teaching the game of golf and sharing my experiences with others. I have been fortunate enough to receive Golf Tips, and Lessons from individuals like, Bill Ogden, Bob E. Smith, Arnold Palmer, Andy North, Jim Gallagher, Jr., and many others notable Golf Professionals. I am a former full time PGA Apprentice and Teaching Professional who has been a student of the game of golf since the age of seven. I firmly believe that everyone has their own individual swing and in order to enhance their abilities, I focus on increasing their strengths by emphasizing the basics of the game, posture, grip and alignment. I am a firm believe that the game of golf is 95% mental and about 5% ability. So attention to the mental aspects of the game is essential and creating a repetitive swing that will not collapse under pressure. I continue to be a student of the game and understand that at times, I can learn as much from my students as I can share with them. Golf is very similar to life in that, you can hit great shots and get bad breaks and you can hit poor shots and receive incredible outcomes. The primary focus needs to be on never quiting!!
Just Passionate about the game of Golf.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to watch them hit some shots to focus on where we can impove upon their swing and the basics of the game.

And typically, improvement for even the seasoned golfer is related to the execution of the fundamentals of the game.
