Golf is my number one passion since I was 4 years old. I love teaching this sport. Being a professional has allowed me to know the fullest of it. I know different types of swings and I work very well with flat ones and teaching how to use the lower body, to release the hips and have a solid impact. I am very good at putting and approaching as well. In addition, I know self-hipnosis techniques but that's for advance level.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First I will ask what does the student have problem with. Then I proceed to a warm up. After doing so, the student will start hitting with the high wedge 56 till he is comfortable to take a 7 iron. It is important to loose muscles. Then I will see the swing and start working on it.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied a B.S Business Administration in Nyack College (New York) an trained and played for the Golf Team in NCAA2. Now I turned professional and I am looking to qualify for the Web.com. I have all my life played golf in Madrid, Spain. Played with José María Olazábal and John Rahm!!!
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Yes I usually do 45$ an hour which is very cheap compared to other instructors.
How did you get started teaching?
While playing and looking for sponsors I need to cost my expenses for traveling and tournaments. This is the reason I started teaching.
What types of students have you worked with?
Any type. From beginners to professional level. I have a lot of professional friends and we ussually help each other with the swing.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I played CACC Championships for Division 2 and ended up 12th out of 95 players. It was held in Wilmington Golf Course.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Do a resaca on the instructor and make sure what do you want to work on. Golf is an expensive sport, so don't make it more expensive and know which are your disadvantages. I will say to keep track on the golf course if every shot and know what are you missing,: (putts, fairways, up$downs, or greens in regulation).
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
As said above, know what parts of the game you are not good so that we can work on them.
