Golf Philosophy

"It has been said that Michelangelo took years to do the now famous sculpture David.  He found the large stone on the side of the road, where many people had passed by it, not seeing what it could be.  When asked, "How did you make this?"  He replied, "I looked inside the stone and saw the true David.  I simply took everything that was not David away." 

 When I teach, I see the golf swing you could have if only we took a few things away. I see potential and I teach you how to make it a golf reality. My responsibility is to make sure you leave a lesson knowing what and how to practice. Your responsibility is to do the drills and practice the way I advise so you can find your true swing and maximize your potential.  

I work with what you have, where you are right now, and together we help you to get to where you want to be, regardless of that level. To me, teaching is like creating art.  It is my great passion to see people succeed and realize if they work for it, they will get as good as they want to.

I love working with children, especially those who wish to play competitively.  I have worked with state champions from Texas, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina.  I present a total improvement program, including swing fundamentals, short game skills, mental focus, visualization, on-course training, and competitive preparation.  Several of my students have been awarded golf scholarships and play at the college level. 

People have asked me if I like working better with beginners or more advanced players like my mini tour students.  I can honestly say I enjoy both.  I am in awe of the power a pro can generate when they get their swing grooved, and I still get a thrill when I get to see a beginner hit the ball in the air for the first time ever.  Teaching is more than a job.  It is a passion.  Some people get up in the morning and make sales calls, others make cars.  I make golf swings.  It is a beautiful job."
