TPC San Antonio
About
My teaching philosophy is a simple, straight-forward, fundamental approach. I believe that almost all swing problems are derived from a flaw in the starting position or setup. The success that I've had with students has always been based on a relentless pursuit of a solid setup position. I spend a tremendous amount of time on grip. I have been accused of being a grip fanatic, which I consider a compliment. The next step is explaining that the aim of the club head, along with parallel body lines and correct posture are the building blocks for a sound golf swing. Once the back swing has been established, the downswing and strike point have to be monitored. I stress club face awareness into the student. Lastly, the finish position is an indicator that he or she has maintained proper balance and gives a polished look. I look forward to meeting you and helping you accomplish your golf game goals.
