About
My golf lessons are very simple. I teach three parts:
Setup, mechanics, tempo
I measure and teach measurement in order of importance:
Accuracy, distance, consistency, mental focus
I enjoy seeing the progress my students make

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
1. Analysis of the students swing including measurement of accuracy, distance and consitency
2. Video taping the students swing so that student can see what needs correction
3. Teach corrective measures, practice corrections and use follow up sessions to measure progress.
4. Produce a written follow up list of problems found and tips suggested for correction.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

40$ per half hour
How did you get started teaching?
I taught my freinds so good some got better than me.
What types of students have you worked with?
Most students I have worked with are middle skilled. I usually don't try to completely reconstruct the swing. The goal is to identify a fault or faults and improve it.
However i have worked with new golfers successfully.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
About three months ago I took my son-inlaw Jason to the driving range. I watched him for a while. He hit the ball a mile, well about 260 yrds. But most if not all were big slices. I noticed that his mechanics were good and his tempo ws great. But there something wrong with his setup.
I adjusted his grip. The result was amazing. Not only was his accuracy corrected but distance increased to 275.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Test drive the teacher. Get him to do a short lesson for about $25. If you get improvement and you like the teacher continue with follow up lessons.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
A student should consider their expectations. A golfer shooting in the 90s can expect to lower their score by ten strokes. Depending on the golfer's age or time spent practicing this may not happen. Also time should be spent on the short game ie putting, chipping and pitching.
