Experienced golf instructor with the ability to introduce the game to the most novice beginners or tweak the experienced, competitive swing. I’ve been playing golf my entire life from the time my father brought me to the driving range & his clubs were as tall as me! The game is easy, but it can also be as hard as you want to make it. I like to start from where you are and enhance your game as much or as little as you’d like!
"A wonderful productive lesson.

Thanks to them, I’ve enjoyed all the time I’ve been on the field and I no longer struggle! You have been amazing! If anyone is seeking a soccer coach I recommend him 100%

My Philosophy: Simple Swings = Consistent Swings Golf is already hard enough—why make it harder by adding extra moving parts? The fewer variables in your swing, the easier it is to repeat. And repeatability is the name of the game. In fact, “golf” should be Scottish for “repeat”… though we all know it’s probably more like creative insanity. That’s why I use video analysis to capture those sneaky extra movements that creep in and mess with your consistency. When you can see what’s holding you back, it becomes way easier to fix. Curious what your swing’s really doing when you’re not looking? Book a session and find out—your scorecard will thank you.
"Thank you Brandon. This was way less stressful than I expected lol
