Personal Info

The number one issue for any student with golf game issues, is having the time to practice in order to fix those issues.

My philosophy entails tailoring a swing that fits the persons body type. There isn’t one swing for everybody. That’s what makes the game of golf so unique. Every person swings differently. I realize that golf , like anything in life, takes time to get it right. My students will always walk away feeling they accomplished something and receive the necessary tools to take with them so they can have better practice sessions when they aren’t with me on the lesson tee. Ever feel like you were hitting it well when the teacher was there only to have that all disappear when the instructor left? Drills, easy to follow instruction and non-confusing terminology are key to getting a student to play better.

I teach all ages of students and use video when it calls for it. My students also get most instruction on the course instead of beating balls for 40 minutes on the range every time. I truly believe that’s where the student will learn the most. After all, you pay greens to play on the course, not on the range!

Experience

My election into The PGA of America came in 2009 while I was working as an assistant golf professional at Mohawk Golf Club located about 4 miles away from my current facility where I am employed. My time at Mohawk was from 2009-2012 and during this time I was lucky enough to receive Assistant Golf Professional of the year in both 2010 and 2011 as well as the Junior Golf Leader award in 2012.

In previous years I was able to work at Glens Falls Country Club in 2007-2008 and Shaker Ridge Country Club from 2004-2006.

I was also fortunate enough to work at some really great facilities in Florida which include PGA National Resort and Spa located in Palm Beach Gardens and The Breakers Resort in Palm Beach as well as Sombrero Country Club located all the way down in Marathon which is right in the middle of the Florida Keys.
