Teaching Philosophy
Jeff understands each student has unique goals and expectations. He is a downswing specialist aka transition specialist but drives home the importance of posture, alignment and proper backswing positioning as critical to improved ball striking. A thorough understanding of ball flight and ball curvature provides each student with feedback to make adjustments while on the golf course and during unsupervised practice sessions. While on the golf course Jeff shares his strategic approach to shaving strokes by thinking like a pro. Jeff’s patient and positive approach creates an enjoyable long lasting learning experience.

Testimonials
I was thoroughly pleased with my experience. I enjoyed the beautiful Silverado Resort. Its charming, manicured setting and welcoming staff made my stay a lovely learning vacation. My instructor, Jeff Raymond was exceptional. His knowledge of the game, ability to quickly identify my needs and relay his teaching techniques made our 3 days very successful. I especially appreciated his understandable teaching techniques that reinforced each days knowledge by building on the previous days instruction. He was technically supportive while being empathic, encouraging me to enjoy my accomplishments and enjoy the game again. We worked diligently on each aspect of my game and had fun, laughed and celebrated my success. I learned a routine that I took home with me to continue to practice the lessons Jeff taught me. After several years of discouragement with my golf game, I’m anticipating an enjoyable golf and improved season. Thank you, Jeff for making golf fun again.
