Frequently asked questions

What is your typical process for working with a new student?

First, I want to know what their goals are. From there we can come up with a plan on how we need to proceed. Whether you're trying to fight a slice, having trouble hitting it fat, or if you just want to learn to swing so you can spend some time with your family, we can work on getting you where you want to be.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have been teaching the golf swing for almost 16 years to students ranging in age from 5-70. I have been an assistant professional as well as head professional at multiple courses in the state and currently here in OKC.

How did you get started teaching?

I've been teaching and coaching golf for close to 16 years. I started in the golf business just out of high school working in the bag room at Oak Tree. I've been in the golf business basically ever since.

What types of students have you worked with?

Ages 5-70

Describe a recent event you are fond of.

The best part ever is when you work with a student and all of a sudden it clicks. That light bulb moment happens and they hit it the way we want.

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?

Find someone that you're able to build rapport with quickly. Try a few different teachers and see who works best for you. While we all say basically the same things, they can be heard differently coming from different people.

What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?

What am I trying to get out of this experience?
