About the coach

Having tried every swing theory, studied the world’s best golfers from the hickory era to modern day and been instructed by some of the game’s best tour coaches, I can say with confidence that there is no one proper way to swing a golf club. Everybody is different and no two golf swings will ever be the same.

That being said, there are certain truths in golf that must be obeyed in order to have success. My goal is not to change but to improve because within each golfer is a great one.

Personal note:
-Highly competitive amateur player and former junior golfer
-Studied under world’s best coaches (coaches who formerly or currently have instructed Viktor Hovland, Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Scottie Scheffler, Matt Fitzpatrick, top D1 college players, KFT players, and many more)
-Student of the game (read many books and studied golf swing online for 1000+ hours)
-Lessons include detailed wtitten breakdown of swing with path to improvement, drills, video references, tour model swings
-Technical but able to break down complex issues simply
-Quick turnaround
-Very skilled putting coach and short game
-I do not subscribe to any particular swing method because method instruction is usually incorrect (with very few exceptions)

Some advice:
-Shallowing is a lie
-Leverage is your friend
-You can gain distance without going to gym
-Ball striking is the most important factor in low scores
-Putting is the easiest part to improve
-Chipping yips begin with bad technique and can be cured

For lesson:
Please send video of swing from down the line (DTL) and/or face on. High frame rate (30fps+) is ideal but not necessary. Send as many videos as you want. A detailed description of your game, issues, and goals is helpful but not necessary.
