Teaching Philosophy

Golf is a game; enjoyed at many levels. Evaluating all students as individuals and what their needs are I instruct accordingly and keep in fun while maintaining the integrity of the game. My instruction style is simple and easy to follow, emphasizing The Rules of Golf, Etiquette and above all enjoyment.

Golf Shop Philosophy

Service, Service and Service!

I believe the golf shop requires a friendly and well-informed staff with real smiles and good listen skills. The golf shop should be well stocked, visually attractive and competitively priced while satisfying the customer’s desires. I consider the golf shop to be the main hub of all golf activity, therefore it needs to be a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere making customers want to revisit.
