About
I teach the easiest way to learn golf. Simple Swing. I am a certified golf instructor of this method. Stop being frustrated and have more fun. I am an easy going instructor who can have you hitting well and straight in no time. This method usually requires less practice. If you are struggling with your game or a beginner this is a good method for you. Instruction can also includes online video reinforcement. I enjoy watching students become consistent golfers.
I help students become good golfers who can problem solve their own faults without a ton of lessons. I love golf and passing on a method that makes the golf game fun.

Larry evaluated my chipping issue and immediately worked with me to correct my issues. He has a positive personality and very encouraging attitude. My best endorsement is i would definitely get more lessons from Larry. He also took the time to evaluate my full swing and gave me suggestions to improve it as well. Money well spent!

My husband has seen much improvement in his game. From hitting straighter, farther and more accurate. His buddies are seeing improvement as well. He says that Dr Larry is a great teacher and makes golf more enjoyable. You can see how much he love he has for the game during every lesson. Thanks so much for investing in my husbands golf passion.

I have had 3 lessons with Dr. Larry now and he is the best golf teacher Ive had. He is the first person to get me to understand what square feels like, which has been a big help. I enjoy working with him and I truly feel he cares about my development. I will be continuing with my lessons and am excited for what awaits. He can help you, no matter your ability. I highly recommend Dr. Larry.

Larry is very personable and a great guy. Larry is a great listener and let me describe my issues and then watched what I was doing wrong. I was thinking of quitting the game just a month ago. After my first lesson with Larry I shot a 45 in my league the following Tuesday. I then shot 42 the following week.
Larry identified 4 key issues and has helped with the corrections and I am back on track to shoot low 40s.
I recommend Larry because he is easy to work with and will not try to reinvent your whole swing.
I will probably play a few rounds and go back for a tune up.
Great lessons!

Two hour lessons to get the fundamentals down. Discussion on and off the range year long. I will also join a student on the golf course for a slight upcharge.

Background in education, pyschology, and teaching. I am also certified in the method I teach.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Coaching a girls team with the techniques I use at the driving range. Many successes with individual lessons. Learning should be progressive. Recently shot my third hole-in-one.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Good players are not always good teachers. Learn basic fundamentals first then you will have more fun and play better. Unlike many techniques Simple Swing has a method that you can repeat over and over.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
1. Are you a good teacher or just a player that teaches golf?
2. Do you demonstrate components of the swing before you have the student practice?
3. Are you a patient instructor or do you get frustrated with an student for not getting a concept right away?
4. Do you give handouts or just expect the student to remember everything?
5. Do you really care about the students progress?

7. Do you have positive reviews?
