Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First and foremost, I want to develop a connection with my athletes. I always start with an evaluation of what YOU want out of the process. Not everyone has the same goals, so I want to know what YOU want. From there we will evaluate your initial swing flaws, and come up with the best course of action moving forward.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a Class-A PGA Member, TPI Level 1 Certified, K-Coach Level 1 Certified, and PGA Coach Certified
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Lessons are $120/hr, which includes the cost for bay rental. TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) screens avaialbe for additional $30.
How did you get started teaching?
I was a high school baseball coach for 6 years and really developed my love for coaching there. I was always a better coach than a player, and then took that same passion to golf.
What types of students have you worked with?
I work with juniors and beginners to college athletes and club champions.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find someone you connect with on more than a golf level. You are putting your trust into this person, you need to feel comfortable. Someone could be the most knowledgable golf person on earth, but if they can't relay the message to you, what good are they?
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What do YOU really want out of the expereince? Be specific, don't just say "I want to be better at golf." Evaluate your game, and think about where you have the greatest area of improvement.
