About David

Greetings and welcome to beautiful and historic Reading Country Club, now open to the public. I offer new possibilities by helping you with things you can control and setting up safe, fun conditions in which to learn. A session wth me will not be about "your mechanics," but it will also be about your experience, blind spots and awareness. We can all benefit from learning how to control the things we can (pre-shot routine), acceptance, eliminating poor decisions, turning three shot into two and what to ask yourself after a shot (internal thinking/processing)... My main influences and what I highly recommend are: Extraordinary Golf (https://extraordinarygolf.com/#extraordinary-golf), Tour Tempo (https://tourtempo.com/) and Orange Whip (https://orangewhipgolf.com/). If this sounds like a good fit, give me a call, check out the clinics listed at the bottom of this page or click on the link below for more options:

Testimonial:

David was very helpful and his instructions were easy to follow and helped me tremendously. I now hit the ball straighter and longer with less effort. I would definitely recommend his advice to anybody looking to improve their golf game.

Thank you for the videos. And also many thanks for the coaching we received last night. We picked up many tips and a new way to help each on the golf course and especially coach myself as well.
