Teaching Philosophy:
I believe I have many responsibilities as a golf instructor. I have to analyze my students ability, attitude, reason(s) for taking lessons, equipment they use, goals they are trying to attain, etc. I then use my expertise to design a personal plan for improvement. I never want to make a lesson/concept too complicated, or have too many changes at one time, which would confuse or frustrate my student. I always try and build upon my student's strengths and make adjustments that are appropriate so they can improve immediately, but with long term improvement always the goal. I believe that GOLF is a game of lifetime pleasure and my instruction will help make the game FUN and a person feel good!!
