About the coach

🏆 2022 TEACHER OF THE YEAR -> British Columbia.

🇨🇦 Finalist -> Canadian Teacher of the Year.

🍎 Official Golf Consultant for Apple TV’s ‘Stick’, staring Owen Wilson.

If you’re looking to make long-lasting changes, look no further. I specialize in helping players build efficient swings and short games that last. I emphasize helping my students understand what and why we’re working on, so that they become smarter about their own game and more self-reliant.

With my background as a former Tour player, I have a deep understanding of how to play the game. I use that everyday to help my players learn to manage and get the most out of their own games.

There’s way too much information out there! Let me help you truly understand what needs to be done and why.

〰 TPI Assessment information 〰

🔴 WHAT IS A TPI ASSESSMENT?
As a TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) Certified coach, I am able to put my students through a series of 16 movement exercises to assess and measure your flexibility, mobility, coordination and strength. This full-body screen helps me identify if you have any limitations within your body that could be affecting your swing.

For example, the player has very limited external rotation of their trail shoulder. This shows us that they may have a difficult time naturally shallowing the club. Therefore, we need to work on this limitation or find ways to work around it. If we don't take the time to measure things like this, then we could be asking our students to do things that they physically cannot do.
ASSESS, DON’T GUESS!

🔴 The BEST part - you will receive the results AND personalized stretches/exercises to do at home to work on your limitations!

🔴 HOW WILL WE DO THIS?
We will speak face to face virtually over Zoom, and I will talk you through each exercise. It will take roughly 20 minutes.


Thank you!
