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."

Winter workouts for golfers

How many of you have heard or said these phrases while playing golf?
"You are sliding"
"You are swaying"
"You are swinging over the top"
"I need more power"
"I want to hit it further"

Well, I've paired up with my dear friend and fitness expert Lance Gill to give you some exercises you can do at home or in the gym this winter season to help with upper and lower body separation in your golf swing. Upper and lower body separation is very important to be aware of and be able to actively do in your swing. Ever wonder why Rory McIlroy can hit the ball so far - #3 in Driving distance 310.4 average on tour? He has tremendous shoulder turn to hip turn, this difference can lead to more power in the swing, hips turn first and shoulders second on the downswing, creating "lag" and thus more power and more distance. By working on these exercises you can eliminate the sliding, swaying, or over the top move in your swing. Plus, getting stronger can also help with your centerness of contact in your swing, eliminating off center hits on your driver and irons.

Here are 2 exercises for your Upper Body
