Teaching Philosophy

By definition golf is a game/sport, and it has to be fun before you will ever improve. My goal is to evaluate each of my students individually and find out exactly what they want out of the game. From there we will identify the areas that will help them achieve their goals. From that point, it's my responsibility to present the information in a fashion that will allow them to get it, in the easiest way possible. It's also imperative for me to find out if my student responds best to information visually, auditory, or kinetically. My ambition is to create a path that will lead them to their goals and have them enjoy doing it. I try and help the student to get most out of their ability without changing their golf swing completely. The change is not much physical as it is their perception of what they are trying to accomplish. A golf swing is like a finger print - there are no two exactly alike. I feel that it is my responsibility to make each of my students understand their swing; so that not only will they improve when I am with them, but they will have the understanding to continue to improve when they go home.
