Swing and coaching philosophy:
In learning from world renowned coaches I have developed techniques and preferences to improve golfers skillsets. I cater to the athlete in front me, some require in depth explanation and some prefer simplicity. We can get into the geometry, physics, and biomechanics of the swing if the player values it, however, for most, the quickest way to improve is through simple drills and cues. Apart from the golf swing, I heavily rely on ball flight in fixing problems, the golf ball is the best teacher. Ultimately, in golf we are trying to control the ball’s direction, distance, and trajectory, thus we use result of the shot to dictate our adjustments.
Services:
I work with beginner golfers, competitive juniors, collegiate golfers, and professional golfers. I also conduct junior clinics, beginner classes, and short game schools. I work with golfers on their swing, short game, putting, on-course, and mental game.
