Teaching Philosophy

Jeff is a teaching professional committed to guiding all golfers, whether a beginner or one with years of experience, to a better understanding of their golf swing. He believes in focusing on the fundamentals of the game by relaying the information in its simplest form. Each student is an individual and has differing abilities to learn and move forward, whether they learn visually, kinesthetically, or simply listening. The emphasis is understanding the student and assisting with the learning of their golf swing. Jeff relays the cause and effect, the how and the why of their current swing flaw(s). Understanding their personal swing predispositions and the means to make the necessary changes to achieve their desired results are the key every lesson.

Testimonials

Hi Tyler and Peter: I wanted to thank you for the outstanding experience I had with Jeff in Napa last week. He was a fantastic teacher with patience mixed with great instruction -- both were essential for me. You are fortunate to have him representing Bird Golf Academy. I will put his lessons to work at my local club and look forward to booking another session in the winter. Thank you again,

Tim
