From Coach Wallin-

"My main goal is to help each golfer enjoy the game of golf better. I believe every student has positive aspects of their game that can be built upon to accomplish this goal.

"I believe that:

  • Every student can improve.
  • My lessons must take into account each person's unique learning style and physical gifts.
  • The use of video can help build concensus about the actual reality of what is happening in a person's game.
  • At the end, it is all about having fun and enjoying this game to a deeper level.

"I am really looking forward to this season of teaching and playing golf at Emerald Greens Golf Course. Last year we helped almost 1000 people learn to play this great game better. It was very rewarding seeing such wonderful growth in those who took part in our lesson program last year.

"How about you? Is this the year you would you like to improve at golf? Would you like to experience deep, long-lasting, satisfying gains, and feel less frustrated? I can confidently say "We can help."
