About
S2 Golf Academy intends to lower the handicap of all of its students with a strategic gameplan emphasizing success in a timely and enjoyable manner. Golf should be fun, and it is a lot more fun when you are playing better. Let's have fun making you a better player.
We will start with an analysis of the student's current abilities during a 9-hole Game Assessment and determing the student's goals for the future. Win your foursome? Beat your father-in-law? Win the Club Championship? Whatever your goal is, we will set a plan to attack your goals within a designated timeframe with an emphasis in fun and success.
Once we establish a gameplan, we will make sure we can achieve the first three necessary principles in golf:
1) Ball first contact each time
2) Hit the ball far enough to play golf at desired level
3) Control the curve of the golf ball
We will entwine lessons on the golf course and all aspects of the game as we see fit to achieve our goals through our gameplan.

All lessons are 45 minutes unless it is a playing lesson.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students of all levels(Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced), and I prefer the student that has a drive to learn, practice and achieve their goals more than I prefer my students be at a certain ability level.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for a teacher than can answer all of your questions and you get along with. You'll be spending a lot of time with your instructor, and it is important that your personalities and goals are similar.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Does your instructor know the actual ball flight laws?
What affect does attack angle have on ball flight and swing path?
What is the benefit of flaring both feet at address? Flaring just one foot at address?
How important is the attachment/grip?
