NE1 Golf
About
Knowledgeable and patient I bring some fun to the experience keeping lessons light while maintaining focus on teaching the beautiful game of golf. I have years of playing experience and a few years of instructional coaching. I stay sharp and up-to-date by attending periodic pga seminars and studying continuous improvement videos. Affiliated with True Aim Indoor Golf KC where year-round golf is possible.
I enjoy teaching people the skills needed to enjoy the experience of an insanely difficult game. Realistically golf is a game learned over years of fine tuning and creating proper mechanics to ultimately achieve a goal of "par" or better. If I can lay a solid foundation for clients to follow, nothing makes me happier than to receive a text or a call saying, "I did it I made a birdie!"
