About John

I have been working in the golf industry in one capacity or another 15 years. Through my experiences with my own game and helping those of other players I have come to realize there is not one perfect way to swing the club. Everyone has different physical abilities, mental attitudes, and goals for their game. My goal in teaching this great game is to help you shoot lower scores and to have more fun doing it. I believe that being self taught and learning to play mostly through observation and trial and error has given me a unique perspective of the swing and how to relate it to different types of players. I want to help you find an efficient, repeatable golf swing that works for you. Whether it is a quick tip or a full overhaul, I would welcome the opportunity to help you play better golf!
