What I can do for YOU.

My 30+ years of experience will help you improve your golf faster. My philosophy is to keep things as simple as possible stressing fundamentals.

The newer golfer will learn in a concise, understandable, step-by-step process, how to develop a good golf swing. I will identify the things that are important for you to practice to improve quickly. I will do this without giving too much information too quickly which can lead to confusion and slower learning.

I will prepare you to play golf with your friends, clients or family.

The intermediate to advanced golfer will benefit from my teaching/playing experience and my ability to do expert video analysis.

Through sophisticated video analysis you will gain an understanding of what causes your ball to slice or hook and how to correct it.

You will gain an understanding of how to increase your distance.

We will work to improve your scoring game.

I will focus your practice to lessen the amount of practice time needed and free up more playing time so you can have more fun.

I’ll teach you what to practice to really improve.
