About
I am an Assistant Golf Processional with experience at the teaching at a very prominent club. I am a PGA Apprentice looking to share my knowledge to everyday people who can't afford expensive lessons.
I enjoy seeing people enjoy the game of golf. I want people to get better at golf, it might not be the way you want. But I truly want to see you shoot lower scores.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Interview - I want to hear about the student. What do they want to learn? What do they want to improve the most? What is their normal miss? Do you have any physical limitations.
Initital Review - I want to watch the student hit golf balls for 5-10 minutes to get an idea of which approach to take. Then I will talk about what I see. More than likely will look into some kind of fundamentals, grip, stance, posture.
Put words into Swing - Take my initial suggestions and put them to work in the swing. Continue making tweaks and if student is still having trouble, give student drill to help.
Follow Up - Give student drills and do's and do not's for our time apart.
