About

First and foremost I am a player , competition get my motor going. When I see a young kid hungry to compete in the game of golf it makes me happy and I want to help him or her hopefully skip some of the pitfalls of just minimal golf knowledge. A little knowledge goes a long way on the golf course.

My specialty is the short game I can teach the true range of wedge shots available to a player. And also I developed a new swing for my grandfather because he had back surgery and lost full range of motion. I was able to devise a swing with minimal rotation and a more straight up standing address to the ball maintains the ability to generate club head speed through a hinge and pivot design. I use it myself. It's great for limited mobility but absolutely amazing for a healthy individual. It takes less energy and you do not have to follow some conventional swing methods that I feel stop a natural fluid swing.

    Frequently asked questions

    Get a feel for each individuals style of golf and level of play and just work on growing their golf knowledge."

    I have 10,000 hours on a golf course I have played I several amateur open championships. 
    I have been teaching for 4 years 

    I try to stay firm at 75 a lesson no designated time allotted it depends on the students needs but I would not turn anyone away that wants to learn the game of golf. I will work with anyone on price if they are on a budget. There's no way I could have afforded lessons coming from extreme poverty I was thankful for the older gentlemen at my hometown course for getting me started for literally no money the even put together a hand me down set of clubs and made me feel very welcome. It is my pleasure to continue with that generosity and desire to continue to grow the sport. 

    I have been teaching everything I know about golf to anyone who would listen since as long as I can remember people always response well and adjusted quickly with my help. I was always told I have great patience for teaching and I should become an instructor so I did. I just like hearing myself speak I suppose lol

    From beginners to potential pga prospects 

    In joyed the California open at gold hills the people I was paired with were great companions and very enjoyable company. It was such a pleasant outing and the course was fantastic. 

    Go with someone who makes you comfortable in your own abilities. Nobody responds well to someone who just criticizes someone's ability. If you are trying to take lesssons then you already know your game needs improvement you need answers not insults. 

    Nothing is out of range, the only way to truly improve as a player is to gain golf knowledge and perspective. From the basic swing to shaping every single shot, course awareness , knowing what you are capable of and club selection. Having a plan of attack when you play a round. Knowing the rules and sticking to them no matter what. Integrity and character are a Huge part of the game of golf. It is the only sport in which you keep your own score and call your own penalties honesty is key to setting a true handicap index and the handicap makes the game truly an even playing field for every player at every level.
