Master my fundamentals,
 then practice and play as much as you can

My two basic fundamentals of golf are first; develop a repeating golf swing and an understanding of why the golf ball goes where it goes; and second, to learn all the shots required around the green to get the ball into the hole in as few shots as possible.

I use video to show what is currently happening and devise drills to help make changes. I know video can be overused so I am careful not to give too much information. I believe every student possesses certain strengths and my job is to help minimize their weaknesses. I always keep the students goals in mind, some want to just have fun and some want to be competitive.

Since it is, or should be, the goal of every golfer to improve on the golf course, I eventually take all my students on the course to help them learn how to play. My goal is to ensure every student learns my basic fundamentals of golf and then know what they need to do to improve on their own.
