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.
