About Paul

Before "early retirement" to become a PGA Professional, as an engineer/lawyer working on "The Chunnel" in England, I won several cups at The Epsom Golf Club where they still award the Kruger Cup to the Junior Club Champion in honor of my working with juniors there.

I have written more than 1,000 articles on the Rules of Golf, and have scored 100 on the USGA exam.

I have won the Horton Smith Award for education from both the Georgia and Sun Country Sections of the PGA.

I routinely utilize SNAG (Start New at Golf) equipment with beginners of all ages.

In addition to being a PGA Certified Instructor, I am a US Kids Golf Certified Coach, a Certified PGA Hope Adaptive Golf Trainer and an Operation 36 Certified Coach..

Teaching philosophy: Never, ever, ever, ever try to hit the ball!!

Teaching rhymes: "One-two, show your shoe." "Swing through it, not to it." "Swing through to your shoulder without falling over." "Rotate through and become a statue."


Testimonial:

There are only five stars to give for a rating for best, I would be happy to give Paul a TEN star rating for being excellent!! He has been amazing. Such a dedication to teaching golf. I am so happy to have him as an instructor.
