About
I specialize in proper body mechanics, which translates into pain free golf. It also produces longer drives, better ball flights and more distance control.
I work with beginners to scratch golfers.
Here is what I offer:
Coaching Session 1: Free Zoom Meeting! We meet online to discuss the players goals, current game and struggles. We will disucss biomechanics and why its so important to your swing/game.
Coaching Session 2: Range Time! Work is focused on proper set-up, ball placement, foot placement, and swing path with the players mid-range irons. By understanding proper set-up and what the real engine of the golf swing is as well as how to properly load for consistent power, we can establish a successful foundation to build an optimal and reliable golf swing. Session ends with take home drills.
Coaching Session 3: Range Time! Work is focused on the driver. Although each session starts by recapping the last session, in session 3 we transition to the driver. This session is focussed on the "secret move" to develop more power and consistency with your driver. The goal of this session is finding more power, better ball contact and achieving more consistency off the t-box.
Coaching Session 4: Range Time and Practice Green for Chipping & Pitching. If you want to lower your scores, then this is it! This is in my opinion one of the most important lessons schedule you will take. Our goal is to keep building on what you have learned by dialing in your wedges around the green. We will focus on different ball flights and optimal yardages for each wedge in your bag. We will then head to the practice green to dial in your pitching and chipping yardages. We will practice different shots around the green and teach you how to hit the flop shot with consistency.
Session 5: Putting is the name of the game! Few golfers truly know how to use proper tempo to consistently drain putts and get rid of the dreaded 3 putt. In this session, you will learn how to read greens, and proper putting mechanics that will get rid of the yips to drain more putts in that 5 foot range so many people struggle with. You will learn different methods of green reading as well as when to be aggressive and when to die the ball at the cup. As the old saying goes, "we drive for show and putt for dough". If you are looking to shave strokes on your game, this is the #1 place to do it!
Session 6: Back to the Range! This session all about your fairway woods, long irons and utility woods. With a solid foundation behind us, we can now start dialing in our woods and long irons. Our goal is to put you in a more confident position to start attacking those par 5's and long par 4's that used to be out of your reach.
Session 7: We head to the beach! You will learn to hit out of fairway bunkers, mid-range bunkers and dial in bunker shots around the green. By learning proper swing mechanics, ball placement and distance control, the dreaded bunker for some will now become a strength of your game and a weapon in your game.
Session 8 and beyond...By now, the goal is to have you in an above average compitency level. However, little things do creep back in (even for the best in the world), so when they do, all you have to do is schedule a maintenance session to quickly get ahead of the problem and fix the issue.
Additional Services:
Indoor Launch Monitor/Putting Lessons: Weather issues are not a problem with my clients. Whether its too cold or we experience rain, we can and will take our training indoors. Not only can we go through the normal lesson, but by using a launch monitor we can get into the data that helps us become precision ball strikers. A launch monitor allows us to see what we cant see with the visual eye. Data such as smash factor, club face impact, ball axis, attack angles, spin rate, ball distance (w/your balls that you actually use), launch direction, club path, etc. allow you to truly unleash your potential as a player. I also provide putting instruction via a 11 stimp practice green so we can work on tempo, proper take-away, speed and club path in order to dial in your putting.
Lastly, for those of you who may be checking me out amongst all the great coaches out there, please understand that you can pick and choose whichever session you would like to work on. You can also take your time and schedule sessions in whichever order you would like.
My goal as your coach is to help you understand proper swing mechanics in order to lower your scores and enjoy pain free golf.
I eat, breath, and sleep golf. If you are just getting into the sport or trying to dial in a specific area of your game, you have found the right teacher. I also want to encourage those "newbies" to the sport and high handicappers, because as fun as it is working with scratch golfers I have to admit I really enjoy working with high handicappers and quickly moving them into single digits.
Lets take your game to the next level, eliminate some of the frustrations that come with trying to learn on your own and get you on the right track for success.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Zoom interview and video analysis of swing. See "About Me" for more information.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Ive been working with golfers from all levels for over 20 years. Im a scratch golfer and tournament player.
I not only believe in coaching to take your game to another level, I am coached by an individual that coaches several tour players that have major titles. Giving me access to a lot of very cool instruction that I can pass on to you.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My standard session typically lasts between an hour and an hour and a half. My rate is a flat $150.00 per session.
How did you get started teaching?
As a player first and a student of the game I found myself with the knowledge about the swing and body mechanics that had other top players seeking my advice.
What types of students have you worked with?
Ive worked with PGA professional players to beginners.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
My number one piece of advice for those looking for an instructor is to make sure you take the time to speak with your instructor to make sure you are going to get what youre looking for as a player before heading off to your first lessin and almost as important, make sure you are a good personality fit!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Ask the instructor what a lesson looks like before you agree to work with them.
Ask them about their swing philosophy and general swing mechanic questions.
Ask the instructor if they have the ability to make a quick fix or will you have to go through a full swing overhaul?
Ask them what happens if it rains and what the process is?
Ask them how they track their students progress, set up skills to work on when you arent together and how they communicate with their students along the way.
Hope that helps!
