I am a firm believer in the “keep it simple” approach. My entire teaching philosophy is based in simple and direct communication. I don’t overload the student with information…”too much information is dangerous.” Learning the student’s goals and abilities help me, along with the student, create a customized lesson plan. I am a hands on teacher and use drills to engrain feelings and concentrate on the motion of the swing more than the mechanics of the swing. I try to create a positive and comfortable atmosphere on the lesson tee with simple swing thoughts that can be used during practice and on the golf course. For some people a clinic or private lesson may be their introduction to this great game, my hope is to make that first impression a positive and enjoyable one.
