About John

I have been teaching this wonderful game for over 35 years. Combining my passion for this game I love and also teaching it to players of all levels is incredibly rewarding. My goal is to simplify the swing as much as possible and to create a natural relaxed athletic motion. Every student is different so I don’t believe there is just one way or method, age, athletic ability and physical limitations all contribute to how I go about teaching my students. It’s a game for a lifetime and I would love to help you with your swing.
