Teaching Philosophy:
Like many other sports, golf attracts people from different backgrounds and experience levels. I feel it is my duty as an instructor to be able to distinguish where a player stands and be flexible in my teaching approach. Progress is my objective for every lesson, and this can best be accomplished by forming an individualized game plan for the student.

A player's success is based on their ability to repeat proper fundamentals. Working together on these fundamentals, we will form a foundation for the student to rely on and help gain and maintain confidence. Special attention must be given to the "short game" and "tee game" to create the ultimate goal: lower scores and overall enjoyment of the game!
