Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Typically I check the students grip and grip pressure first. Then posture, ball position and stance. Then backswing and downswing. In a nutshell the 5 modern fundamentals of golf.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I still play in professional tournaments from time to time. I have learned a lot about the swing from Jackson Bradley who was a personal friend of Ben Hiogan and Kevin Kirk who was recently given the honor of best golf instructor in the United States by the PGA of America. I was a student of Kevin's for about 25 years so I learned a lot about the mechanics of the swing from him.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I charge $80 for an hour golf lesson. I also offer a 6 lessons series and 10 lessons series for a reduced rate.
How did you get started teaching?
After college I worked as an assistant pro at an area golf club and one of my responsibilities was to give members lessons. I've been teaching ever since.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with beginners, advanced, juniors, seniors, women, children and people with minor physical ailments.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
About three months ago I taught a man named Craig. He was way off his normal game and with a change of alignment and slight swing path change he got his game back and more. He has since sent me many students as a sign of gratitude for helping him when no one else could.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Try to find a teacher that won't make dramatic changes in your swing. Find someone who focuses on the fundamentals and not advanced biomechanic techniques.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What are their goals? What's their biggest weakness? What's their biggest strength? Are you trying to break a barrier like breaking 100 or 90? Do you have the time to commit to a long term training regimen?
