About

What stands out about me is that I have been playing this game for over 40 years and I am a certified club fitter as well.I have also been certified by the United States Golf Teachers Federation as a qualified and competent golf instructor since July 2020

I love watching people come to me with a problem with their equipment or their swing and watch them blossom into something where golf is a joy for them, not a frustration

John is very easy to work with and breaks things down simply to help you understand the areas to help you improve your swing. I would recommend him for people looking to improve their game.
