My Golf Philosophy

"I want to create a learning environment that my clients can flourish and see definite results in their games. I like to have fun while I teach and share the passion I have for the game with my students. Knowing how complicated this game can be, I aim to create a teaching environment that golfers can learn and understand my information clearly and quickly. Finding the cause and effect of what the ball is doing is the most important in diagnosing how to make changes for each individual student. I strive to tailor the lesson to my students learning style and capabilities."

Effective Questions for your students


Here is my list of questions that I typically ask of my students during a first time lesson, in no particular order.  I find by asking these or some of these I can get a lot of information about what my student's expectations may or may not be.
Enjoy!

- why are you here?
- why do you play golf?
- what is the biggest change you'd like to make in your golf game
- what would it be worth to you?
- what do you need to reach that goal?
- what is motivating you right now to make a change?
- what is your hesitation to take lessons or work with me?
- what would your definition of a successful relationship with a coach?
