About John

I have been a PGA member since 1996 and have given thousands of lessons so I have seen a variety of swings. My philosophy is to work with what the student can do physically and get them to make the absolute best contact to achieve maximum consistency. I keep things simple and we have a great time learning to play this great game.

Testimonial:

When I first reached out to John I was struggling to break 100. He communicates in an understandable and effective way. I am better now because I understand how to correct my mistakes and am now consistently in the 80's and still improving.
