About

I have helped students drop over 100 strokes. I was recognized by PGA of America in 2023 for how much I have grown the game and helped players improve. I received the Player Development Professional award for North Texas PGA Section in 2024. I am an author for Avid Golfer Magazines instruction articles. I grew up attending the Jim McLean full time golf academy in Fort Worth and practicing alongside Jason Day while traveling all over the country playing in the top junior tournaments and then went on to play college golf on a full ride scholarship and finished All American. I spent numerous hours throughout the years shadowing Jim McLean, Butch Harmon, Lanny Bassham, Olympic gold medalist for the psychology side of golf and many other top instructors in the world. Always thought I wanted to play professionally but realized I did not like being gone for extended periods of time enough and always had a passion for helping others through teaching and golf fitness. I love teaching and helping others, it is my passion. I adjust to the player and do not teach a one swing fits all method; I believe it is important to build a swing around the ways the student moves best.

    I always struggled with taking my game on the course and Kirsten worked with me on course the majority of the time to make sure I got the results I wanted on the course and not just the range. She also walked me through different questions I had and was there for me during my progression of my goal to break 90 and really coached me the whole way rather than just taking my money and only talking to me when I have a lesson on schedule. I went from shooting 105 to breaking 90 in only 12 weeks it was truly amazing.

    Frequently asked questions

    I  find out what the students strengths and weaknesses are and build a program that will benefit them the most. Then i find out what they are looking for in their swing and ball flight and talk about what we should do to get there.

    Worked with Butch Harmon, Jim McLean, and Lanny Bassham(Olympic Golf Medalist)for years. I also worked with Ampd’s golf fitness and TPI fitness trainers for years as well.  

    Beginners all the way to Tour players
