About
I like working with students at all levels and teach not only the mechanics but the mental approach as well.
I like seeing a student improve and the satisfaction on their face when they play well for fun or in a competition

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to find out what the goal of the student is first with their golf game. I will watch the student hit a 7 iron a few times and then go from there. I usually give 1 or 2 things to work on per session. Students need to understand that it really takes about 3 or 4 lessons to get on the right track.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was a Jr. College All-American at Temple Jr. College and then played for Houston Baptist University (NCAA Div 1 at the time). 1980-1983. It paid my way thru school and I had a great time. My daughter was the #1 player for Round Rock HS and I taught her how to play. I currently have a PGTAA Class A Master Teaching Professional Certification. Member #9316
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I usually charge $45 for a one hour lesson and ask the student to bring 1 or 2 items for the local food pantry as a way to give back into the community.
How did you get started teaching?
I just have a knack for seeing the flaw instantly and making the correction in someone elses swing. Its a gift that good teachers have.
What types of students have you worked with?
All ages. I really want to work with kids who want to go on and play for their HS team and then play at the College Level.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I helped my wife's friend with her swing and she is really excited about learning and playing the game on a regular basis.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find someone who has been around the game for a long time. I started at age 8. Also find someone who can keep it simple and communicate well.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What are your goals? What kind of grades are you making in school? (If you want to play at a high level coaches are going to want good students in the classroom as well.)
