My Philosophy is simple: Learn who the players is, what they really want, and help them to get it.
Currently a Titleist Performance Institute Golf Level 3, Power Level 2 Certified Instructor and former PGA "recognized" Instructor and Director of Instruction for one of Americas Top 25 Golf Schools (Golf Magazine May 1999).
I have worked at several world-class golf facilities, including Troon North (Scottsdale, AZ), Keystone Ranch (Summit County, CO), Wildfire at Desert Ridge (Scottsdale, AZ), The Mission Inn (Orlando, FL), Bardmoor Golf & Tennis Club (Tampa, FL), Carlton Oaks (San Diego, CA), The Reserve at Thunder Hill (Cleveland, OH), and Pine Barrens (New Jersey).
I have studied Neuro-linguistic Programing and Psychological Profiling to ensure that I teach effectively and that I understand my students natural learning styles and needs. I have also studied Mental Coaching Processes to ensure every player understands how to compete and reach their goals.
Over 20 years ago (before the mobile electronic revolution), I developed a software matrix that allowed code writers to build "smart" programs that can automate golf instruction. Using motion capture systems, sensors can measure motion as small as 1/10th of a millimeter. My software matrix was developed to trigger "red flags" throughout the swing when the club was outside of position (+/- a certain tolerance) that enabled the AI to learn and respond to the data. This system is still used today in products like K Vest and others.
I have dedicated a lifetime to learning—and teaching—all aspects of the sport, with a particular focus on the mental, physical, and advanced technological elements as they relate to golf.
