PHILOSOPHY As a Teacher/Coach I am first and foremost concerned with the achievement of the student. We have asked for and been granted access to a student’s golfing life. We must be accountable to and earn the trust of the student. A P.G.A. Master Professional is available to plan, implement, and supervise a golf program providing opportunities for success. I am the “keeper of the game”. I am a recruiter for the growth of the program. I am a promoter of the game. Have fun!
TEACHING ACHIEVEMENT: Maintained a full schedule of private and group programs for all age groups. Instructed a junior camps and clinics organized through the club and the P. G. A. Implemented the “Player Improvement Program” to meet the needs of those who are dedicated to game improvement and lower handicaps. Certified: Henry-Griffitts Club and PING fitter, and Slazenger Kirk Currie Putter Fitter.
