I believe that the ability to provide quality instruction and improve an individual’s golf

game is what separates us from the amateur golfer and is the cornerstone of what makes a great
PGA Professional. Throughout the last few years I have greatly increased my own knowledge
of the golf swing and how to conduct a lesson with people of all different learning habits and
playing abilities. I don’t believe that there is model swing that works for everyone but instead, I
believe there is a perfect swing for each student. I work with the student to develop a realistic

improvement plan that takes into account the player’s goals, physical limitations, and the
amount of time the student has to play and practice. I believe strongly in the use of video
analysis and training aids in an effort to accommodate all learning styles and to expedite the
learning process.

Below you will find different examples of video instruction, my experience with different

launch monitors such as TrackMan and FlightScope, and communication with students:

Pictured above is a screenshot from a swing analysis video using FlightScope Video that we conducted during
one of our corporate outings. We took a face on video of every players swing and used the data from the
FlightScope to provide each player with a two or three minute video analyzing their golf swing and providing
one or two tips on what they need to work on to improve.
