Teaching Philosophy

“My ‘team’ approach to teaching is employed to develop players. Student and instructor are partners in attempting to accomplish a common goal. Together as a team, value systems, mode of operation,thought process, and physical abilities or limitations are identified. The student will use me as a resource for feedback to ensure the proper action steps are taken to accomplish the desired goal. “The strategy I use is to start with putting and move to the full swing to build confidence, and to begin to identify possible issues that we may encounter along the way to the full swing. I am able to learn more about the students along the way by viewing their physical skills, eye- hand coordination, etc. To measure progress, the physical laws of nature, ball flight laws, mental keys and biomechanical elements of the golf swing are used as guide posts. “It is not the fault of a combination lock on a safe that it will notopen. Each person has a slightly different combination to unlocktheir potential. We find the answers by asking the proper questionsand by gaining the confidence of the student to give honestanswers (not what they think we would like to hear as instructors).”
