Having my clients hit the ball better in a short amount of time and feeling confident during play. u u u what are your greatest strengths? Listening to my clients about what they want to improve on. Communication is another. I strive to make sure my instruction is clear and that my clients understand what I am teaching them. u u u how would you describe your teaching style? Calm and simple. My teaching may look different for each of my clients. Many golfers come to me with different issues, but all have one goal in mind, which is to hit the ball better. How I make that happen might look different for each player. With all my students, however, I make sure they know how to self correct on the course if the "wheels fall off" during play. u u u do you have a golf instructor that you look up? I have many instructors who I admire. These range from instructors such as Butch Harmon to Shaun Webb. Butch Harmon is a classic, and gets right to the point with his instruction. Shawn Webb explains the biomechanics of the golf swing extremely well. Both have inspired me greatly. u u u what's the best golf tip you've ever got? The true judge of your golf swing is the ball flight, nothing else. And, educate your hands to hit the shot you want. This one has always stuck with me. u u u what is your most treasured golf possession and why? I actually have two. One is my grandfather's golf clubs. He was the man who introduced me to the game. The other is the first set of irons I purchased with my first paycheck! u u u what do you like to do when you're not teaching? I like spending time with my family and working outdoors in my yard. Classic Club's driving range provides an ideal setting for game improvement.
