Teaching Philosophy

I don't look to change swings when I go into a teaching session. I simply make them more efficient. This is my goal. I take a player's pre-existing habits, find their fatal flaw, and correct it in the simplest way possible. The technique avoids modifying a player's swing style and attacks the cause of the issue rather than chasing the effect, which is a common practice. By doing this, we will see positive ball flight changes take place quickly with measurable data to prove our concept. In addition, my job is to educate the students during their session since their perception of their swing determines its quality. "Understanding the 'why' and 'how' of a shot helps eliminate distractions and promote self-learning. After our session, the student will have a personalized and simple plan based on our findings." Lastly, as a coach, it is essential to be adaptable and adjust the learning environment to suit the student's personality. The students' overall experience is as significant as the improvements made, and I aim to create a fun, productive, and memorable golf school.
