My teaching philosophy

My approach to instruction is honest and straightforward. I believe it is important for my students to know what needs to be done and exactly how to do it. You will never question what you should be practicing and how it’ll lead to your outlined goals. My experience as a professional golfer has taught me that if you want results, you can’t cut corners or buy a magic formula. This game takes hard work, dedication, and the ability to take a few knocks and keep coming back. I can help you through this process while ultimately making you the self-reliant golfer you need to be. Let’s get to work!

How TO WORK WITH ME

There are so many wonderful ways we can work together – it’s simply up to what works best for you.

IN-PERSON LESSONS: First, I offer in-person lessons at McCormick Ranch in Scottsdale, Arizona from October through May and at The Golf Club at Newcastle in Washington State from June through the end of August.

ONLINE LESSONS: If you aren’t near one of these locations, don’t worry – I offer online lessons through the Skillest app! Visit my online lessons page to learn all about it, we will cover everything from what kind of equipment you need, how to download and use the Skillest app, and how to properly film your swing.

THE 1% PROGRAM: For golfers who are seriously committed to getting better and willing to dedicate their time and effort to the pursuit of perfection, I offer my 1% program to only 5 students per quarter. It’s intense and incredibly rewarding. If you’re interested, check out The 1% Program page for more information.

VIDEO SERIES: I just released my first 9-part video series, Elevate Your Approach. Approach shots are the single biggest differentiator between the golfer you are now and the one you want to be. Every video in this online course was created and thoughtfully organized to ensure you hit more greens, feel more confident, and lower your scores. It features 9 robust lessons, over an hour of lesson content, including how to effectively practice and on-course application. Watch the first lesson absolutely free here.
