Teaching Philosophy
Inclusive Approach
I believe golf should be accessible and enjoyable for everyone. My teaching creates a supportive environment where all students, regardless of age, gender, or ability, can thrive and develop their skills.
Short Game Focus
The fastest way to lower scores is through a strong short game. I emphasize putting, chipping, and pitching techniques that help students gain confidence and consistency around the greens.
Simplicity & Clarity
Golf instruction can often be overly complicated. I focus on simple, clear concepts that students can easily understand and implement, leading to faster improvement and more enjoyment.
Confidence Building
Building confidence is as important as building skill. My approach focuses on creating positive experiences and celebrating progress, which leads to greater enjoyment and faster improvement.
