About
I have been a golf professional for over 25 years, 23 of those years as head professional at the country club of Halifax. Took over the head professionals position at the Back Nine Club, February of 2015. NEPGA Senior champion 3 times and have played in 2 pga tour events and 2 Senior PGA Championships.
Whether teaching one or more students no two students are the same so I teach each one separately to match their ability.
I enjoy watching my students with smiles on thier face as well as seeing improvements in their game. I work a lot on 100 yards and in because this is where your score will improve the fastest. Imagine, never 3 putting, making all 5 footers and getting up and down from 20 yards off the green. Just think what your scores will do, drop, drop. We have one of the best short game practice area's in southern New England to work on that part of your game.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Evaluate each student by asking some general questions about their golfing experience. I video their swing and go over the what and how's to accomplish their goals. Set up practice drills for practicing on their own. Re-tape the swing at some point and compare the two swings, before n after. Short game, short game is a must to learn and practice.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been teaching, coaching golf for over 25 years. I have participated in PGA teaching n playing workshops with the likes of Martin Hall, Chuck Cook, Butch Harmon and many other top teachers in the country.
