Testimonial:

10 years ago my family and I started going to John My handicap has since dropped from 18 to 10. John has helped me understand practice, fundamentals, and how to manage a golf course course.

Testimonial:

My joy for practicing and playing the game is a result of John teaching at a level I can understand and that fits my physical abilities. He has done the same for my family, so they can improve and enjoy the game! Thank you John!

I have been working with John for a few years now. As a golf coach, he does a great job of explaining and demonstrating complicated concepts. He is also very good at listening and incorporating personal experiences into his lessons.
