Callaway Golf voted Derek into their Golf Professional Hall of Fame in 2018 and he has been published in numerous local and national publications on his teaching techniques.

Testimonial:

With Derek, every tip/instruction made sense and worked. I left the lesson feeling confident that I could do this and with videos on my phone that I can refer to to bring it back when I need it. I highly recommend him!
