About Brian

INDOOR LESSONS ON LITTLE CREEK'S SIMULATORS IN SOUTH CHARLESTON THIS WINTER!

Take advantage of my 30 plus years of teaching experience. I believe in the American Developmental Model and teaching my students to play the game of golf, not just the swing itself. Lesson Programs include a mix of time at the short game area, practice range, but mostly playing on the golf course. Each lesson typically focuses on one “part” of your game so that once it is mastered, it becomes part of your “whole” game. Using this method is effective and keeps you from being overwhelmed with too many thoughts at one time.

Testimonial:

Great golf educator. I had done nothing more than putt-putt when I began, and he helped me understand the game and learn the mechanics well. I will be taking many more lessons with him in the future.

My spouse picked up a Golf Club for the first time and after 2 lessons with Brian we are having fun both at the driving range and her playing best ball with me on the Golf Course.

Brian has worked with my daughter for some time now, and she is really seeing results on the course. He is great with juniors and knows how to communicate with them ...

Everyone needs a golf coach! If you don’t have a golf coach you’re wasting your time and money. Brian is helping me fix my swing flaws to play better golf.
