About
Currently booking students in Rochester Minnesota area for the Summer of 2024, teaching out of Somerby Golf Club in Byron, MN!
Tony has extensive experience working with golfers of all abilities, he has been nationally recognized by the PGA for his work with beginning golfers. His greatest asset as a teacher is his ability to communicate clearly with a student the exact feel or change that the two are working on achieving.
Teaching Philosophy:
Tony’s teaching philosophy is based upon solid fundamentals and teaching the student that good golf lies in the development of specific skills needed to be a complete golfer. He truly believes ball flight corrections can be traced to impact or setup position. He uses video analysis to show the student the things they do well in the swing, as well as the areas of the swing that need to be corrected. He also teaches his students to analyze their ball flight, and educates them on cause and effect on their bad shots. Tony has a great passion for teaching the wedge, putter and scoring game, he tries to get across that quicker way to lower scores is by working on their short game.
Contact Tony today and find out how he can improve your golf game, help you shoot lower scores and have more fun on the golf course.
I teach players of all abilities, the fundamentals that will get them out on the golf course and getting positive results!
