About my coaching
I have coached since I was in high school. On the golf course/ practice range as well as in a team environment. I love to help individuals pursue the best game on earth and chip away at taking strokes off your score. One of the biggest mistakes I made from a young age is not putting the right time in to proper practice. Hitting balls on repeat will not get you very far, unless you plan to be a driving range super star for years. From the start my goal is to make it fun and help develop practice routines which will change the way players see the game. If these routines and feels discussed in my lessons are taken seriously, you are bound to see great results.
