Philosophy

Throughout my golf experiences within the last 20 years, I’ve had some great instructors help me get to where I am today. I want to pass on my love and passion for the game to help you polish your skills, the way my instructors helped me. The great thing about this sport is it can be enjoyed at any age – no matter what your skill level or what your swing looks like. Whether your goal is to feel comfortable playing with other people, fine tuning your game, or even something as fun as wanting to beat your golf buddy, I can help. We’ll formulate a simple plan to get you were you need to go, then go from there. The ultimate goal is to teach you not only the basics, but to help you evaluate and adjust your own swing while you’re playing. I also specialize in fitting the right set of clubs to optimize your game, so when the time is right to upgrade your game, I can help. The bottom line is to add enjoyment and confidence to your game and between the two of us, we can have fun doing that.
