Coaching Beliefs
When it comes to teaching golf I believe in a ‘sow and reap’ approach that focuses on the fundamentals. My goal as a golf professional is to help golfers develop an athletic swing that is flowing, simple and repetitive.
To achieve this I emphasize an approach that encompasses feel coupled with mental images of the swinging motion. I clarify the importance of grip, posture and the body’s swinging elements. I focus on how to practice smart and how to work on your game when you can’t get to the range or course
