I am currently the Director of Golf at Glendora Country Club located in Southern California. I have worked in all aspects related to golf from driving ranges, public facilities and private country clubs. I have been teaching/coaching for over 20 years with roughly 8,000 hours of teaching experience. I am passionate about seeing my students grasp new concepts and assisting them in accomplishing their goals for the game of golf. I am a firm believer that practice is a must when it comes to taking lessons. In order for a student to be successful they have to do their part as well. I can only show them the door while they have to walk through it. There is no easy fix to a golf swing and students need to set realistic goals to achieve success. Going from a 20 handicap to a 2 in a range of 6 months is not a good goal to have. Rather I like to see students focus on the foundations of the golf swing. For example, improving their grip over a two to three month period, a much more attainable goal. Golf is a life long sport where even a beginner and veteran can learn something new that will improve their game and enjoyment of golf.
