We will sit down, have a coffee, talk about your goals, how often you can practice or if you like to practice, I’ll take some notes and then I’ll watch you hit balls, and determine what is needed for you to accomplish your goals. Your ball flight will tell me a lot about your swing or setup faults. Together we will chart a path to success!

One thing you will notice about me is that I’m a high energy person, and I like to get physical. (I guess it was those Second City Improv classes I took). I might take your hands, hold your head, your ankles, swing with you, anything that gets you to FEEL the club swinging. I want you to FEEL the correct grip pressure, and the correct starting setup. I want you to physically and logically understand what makes the ball fly through the air, and then feel it, and then make it happen through repetition. I use metaphors, props, and swing aids. I want to understand how YOU learn, how you are wired, and then gear my teachings to fit your comfort and understanding. I like to teach by feel, pictures, and I WILL keep it very simple. Golf is difficult enough to learn without you having to hear me talk about swing planes, angle of attack, or X Factors. Like the great teacher Harvey Penick, I believe simple is best.
