About
I am a PGA Member with thirty-four years of experience, teaching over seventeen thousand hours of instruction. A Leadbetter Certified instructor with expert knowledge of current technologies such as GASP Video System, KVEST and BodiTrak pressure plate. Teaching on a global level. I have coached ten kids into the top 50 ranked players in China, published over fifteen articles for Golf World China and Golf Week China, was the Regional Director of the PGA Junior League for the Beijing District all while teaching over a thousand hours of private instruction each year. I place a high priority on the set up and the coil of the golf swing so the student can build energy properly for a fast-athletic move through the ball for the full swing. Short game emphasis is about controlling how far the ball rolls when putting and getting up and down from as far from the hole as the student is capable from any situation.
I am a Leadbetter Certified instructor who is also certified in KVest and Boditrak technologies. I am also a PGA ADM certified instructor teaching kids of all ages.
I help people enjoy the game of golf.
