Botetourt Golf & Swim Club
About
I structure each lesson around the student’s personal needs and goals. My goal is to work with what the student brings to me. I've worked with all skill levels from beginner to scratch golfers with great success. I offer a laid-back atmosphere to keep the student relaxed during each session.
I enjoying nothing more than giving my student’s excitement towards the game of golf! It is my continuing goal to grow the game. I enjoy showing players of all levels how to best benefit from their specific skill set.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Each lesson starts off with an evaluation of the player’s abilities, goals, and most importantly a physical assessment to ensure I know of any physical handicaps.

I have a degree in Professional Golf Management, which involved, in depth training in club fitting, lesson teaching, and club repair.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Lesson rates will vary as needed. My standard one hour lesson rate is $50 dollars per hour session. I offer lesson packages as well which will give a discounted rate over a series of lessons. My packages include a five for four series in which you receive five sessions for the price of four. I also offer “season series” which include ten lessons over the period of a season. With this package, you receive ten lessons for the price of only seven.
Group lessons are always a great option for juniors as well as any beginner golfer who may feel more comfortable in a group setting. Please contact me for more information on group deals.
