Philosophy:

I believe that every golfer is unique and one swing model is not for everyone. Each student’s lesson will be based on the goals and abilities of player. First each player must have an understanding of the correct concepts before we get into a corrective movements or positions. Once we have an understanding of the concept we can look at personal tendencies that interfere with the consistency the player may desire. Once we diagnose the flaws in the system, I look and see if the player is physically capable or making a swing change that can be dependable.  If we need to compensate, I would prefer to do it before the swing is taken. Pre-swing fundamentals are an ideal for a player with no physical limitations, but if limitations exist, we can alter the pre swing position to accommodate a better impact of the club to the ball producing better results. It is possible to change a physical limitation, for players looking to achieve higher goals we may look to this course of action first then build a better swing from a better physical platform.

Each player must have a clear understanding of what he or she must make a priority to reach their individual goals.  I feel it is my job to help guide my students and enlighten them from a history of working with the top instructors in the world.
