CAREER ACCOMPLISHMENT HIGHLIGHTS

• Author of the golf instruction book, “The Negotiable Golf Swing; How to Improve your Game without Picture-Perfect Form” • Metropolitan PGA Teacher of the Year • 17-year host of New York News TV segment, “Golf Long Island” • 25-year Class A Member of the PGA of America • PGA American Development Model (ADM) Certified • Delivered golf-theory presentations to PGA students at several major universities, including N.C. State, Ferris State and Penn State University.

I have 30 years' experience coaching beginners, juniors, groups, high school and collegiate players, avid golfers with higher handicaps and lower handicaps as well as working with fellow PGA Professionals.

My approach with every student is quite different. I must consider; age, strength, coordination, flexibility, injuries, practice/playing frequency, and tailor the lesson to the individual. I do not try to coach a player into a “perfect swing” and break down their movement and rebuild from scratch. I work with the negotiables (grip, backswing, and many others) all to only address something if it effects the non-negotiables (physics), such as downswing path, plane, angle of attack and center-face hits. These philosophies are basis of my book. My goal is to help you reach your goals, not to look like a tour player!

I use video to supplement my communication with students, as many people are visual learners. I also utilize TOPTRACER, a very accurate radar-based ball tracking technology (used on the pro tours), which provides ball stats; distance (carry), ball speed, apex, and curve.
