About Alec

I am a passionate and dedicated golf instructor who takes pride in helping golfers improve their game at every level. I teach all levels of golfers, from beginners to low-handicap and competitive players, and I tailor every lesson to the individual golfer.

I have extensive experience working with junior golfers, focusing on building strong fundamentals, confidence, and a love for the game. I also proudly teach veterans, providing a respectful, supportive learning environment that takes into account individual goals, physical limitations, and learning styles.

My teaching philosophy is built around simplicity, clarity, and long-term improvement. I focus on helping golfers understand their swing, not just copying positions. Each lesson starts with identifying what will make the biggest difference, then creating a clear plan the golfer can practice and trust.

I use Foresight GULL Swing Launch Monitor technology, along with OnForm teaching tools and 3D swing views, to provide accurate, data-driven feedback. This allows golfers to see their swing in real time, understand key movements and positions, and track measurable progress over time.

I believe great instruction combines modern technology with strong fundamentals and communication. I keep lessons structured, positive, and easy to understand so golfers leave with confidence, direction, and a clear path to improvement. Whether a golfer wants to enjoy the game more, lower their handicap, or compete at a higher level, I am committed to helping them reach their full potential.
