Teaching Philosophy
I believe very strongly in the fundamentals of the golf swing. My priorities with students are to make sure that their fundamentals are correct – for them. The core of the swing comes from grip, set-up (pre-swing), spine angle, club path and wrist hinge. The golf swing is the proper sequential motion of the body rotating, arms swinging and wrists hinging. The body is a timing device for the release of the club and that true understanding comes from “cause and effect.” To that aim, I work with my students to allow them to self-diagnose their own swings. By giving them that knowledge, they can discern corrections from their “ball flight.” I'm a firm believer in visual (like a full length mirror) and kinesthetic aids when working with my students and also believe that “drills” (smaller and more isolated tasks) are a great way for people to incorporate changes. I also stress learning by setting realistic practice goals for all of my students. My objective with all of my students is to help them improve and understand their own swing – AND to be able to enjoy the process!
