Teaching Philosophy
“My teaching philosophy has always revolved around student improvement. My core belief throughout my career has been to keep things simple and to always remain very positive with my students. I am not a method teacher as I believe everyone learns differently and therefore should all be taught uniquely and as individuals. The base for my instruction is on solid pre-swing fundamentals: posture, grip, alignment and ball position. There are many parts to the golf swing itself, but I get most of my information to ultimately finding a solution by observing ball flight, club face and club path. Video analysis is also a very important part of golf instruction and a great communication tool. I have had the privilege of helping people from a diverse range of backgrounds, personalities, and abilities. From beginner to Tour player and everyone in between, I am passionate about helping people with their games. I truly believe that my longevity and success of my career are due tome possessing what I call the 3 P's: PATIENCE with varying levels of student abilities. POSITIVITY in how I approach my instruction/students. PASSION for this great but difficult game. I look very much forward to meeting you and helping you with your game!

Testimonials
Mike Ellis is a great instructor. He was able to fix my swing and provide me with the tools I needed to improve all aspects of my golf game. He focused on the fundamentals and did not have to fill my head with a million swing thoughts. It was a lot of fun and I now have the confidence I was looking for in my golf game. Thanks again.
