    If you want a golf coach that cares and wants you to improve and enjoy the game of golf just as much as he does, you came to the right place. After just two lessons and some practice at home I am hitting the ball further and straighter then ever before.

    This was my first lesson after 30 years of playing. He helped me stay focused on some fundamentals that will no doubt improve my short game much to the surprise of my golf buddies who dont know Ive got a secret weapon this year. Thanks John.

    Frequently asked questions

    Let's analyze your swing to make a plan to meet your goals in golf first.

    Then build your swing around your strengths and body movements.  

    Golf is a very diverse game and we all have our swing to find. 

    I am a PGA PGMA golf professional with over 25 years of teaching and mentored by top 100 teachers. 

    Lesson prices vary from 1 lesson to lesson packages. 

    Lesson prices range from $40 to $65 for a 30 to 45 min lesson. 

    I love the game of golf and when I became a PGA golf professional I was leaning towards being a head golf pro but fell in love with teaching as that's where the passion and soul of the game is.  
    I just want everyone to enjoy the game of golf as much as I do, and at what ever level you want to achieve.  

    I have worked with golfers of all skill levels.  I have trained kids to help get to college on scholarships or go on to be local golf professionals.

    My core of students that I love to teach is the average golf that just wants to enjoy a round of golf and have consistant ball striking skills and be able to chip and putt. 

    I will help you achieve what ever goals are in golf. 

    I love watching golf live or even on TV.  I always look forward to the Masters every year, what a great event to start the golf season. 

    The best advice that I can give a student looking for a golf instructor is to make sure that you like your instructor and you have good communication. 
    I always recommend to take the first lesson and if you had a good time, able to understand the instruction, and they focus on the fundamentals of the game and not gimmicks and bandaids. 

    Golf is a game for a lifetime and if you know and understand the fundamentals you will enjoy the greatest game ever played at what ever level you want to achieve.

    What are your goals?

    Do you have time to pracitice the skills you have learned?

    Do you have any physical aliments that might prevent you from making a fundamental swing. ( good teachers will help you to overcome.)

    Are my golf clubs ok to take lessons with?

    Most golf professionals will ask the right questions at the first lesson.
