My philosophy for teaching is to deliver simple and effective instruction to improve each student’s performance.

I use a combination of core principles from biomechanics, scientific research in motor learning, and educational psychology as a framework. My goal is to maximize the benefits of the time I spend with students to help them learn more efficiently and take it to the golf course.

In today’s information world, it’s easy to get lost or overwhelmed. Some of what you can find on the Internet or from other sources may be good for you and your individual needs as a golfer, but much of it just won’t get you where you want to go. I listen to my players and help them take their range games to the course.
