My primary goal is to grow the game of golf and make it more enjoyable for my students. I do this by stressing good fundamentals, balance, and rhythm. I make sure that my students have properly fit equipment. I do my best to inspire my students to instill good practice and playing habits. I continually strive to develop as a teacher by increasing my knowledge at every opportunity, whether it be by reading, seeing, hearing or doing. I have created a strong Junior Golf program that will continue to grow in the years to come.
