Teaching Philosophy


I am a very passionate teacher and really have a love for the game, my goal as a teacher is to enhance the students playing ability and overall enjoyment of the game by teaching a swing that is efficient.  I would like to begin each lesson by interacting with my students to make them feel comfortable while also learning about their personality.  Communicating with my students about their current level of play and goals is very crucial to their achievement.  While there are certain laws and principles in the golf swing that I do believe that there is no one swing method is right for one individual. I also believe that every golfer has the ability to improve whether it be their putting, short game, full swing or course management.  These improvements can come quickly by learning to be more consistent with important fundamentals such as the grip, alignment, pre-shot routine, and setup.
My teaching philosophy would revolve around the student’s learning style.  Some students like to keep it simple, while others like to know how everything works.  Either way, I am committed to making them a better player.  While it takes some students more time to achieve the results they desire, I do believe that improving is hard work and takes  time, practice, and patience to see results.  Rarely, do I ever think quick fixes translate into long-term improvements. My goal of each lesson would be to see the student achieve better results that day while building a foundation for long-term success.  It’s important to understand the cause of poor results, but more importantly, how to effectively fix them through the use of videos, drills, and teaching aids.
