Experienced Golfer with 25+ years of experience. Specializing in core golf techniques and simplicity. Frequent use of golf training aids. I'm an avid student of the game, having studied under several club pros for many years. With beginning Golfers, I start with the basics, like grip alignment, posture, and stance. From there we build to the full swing. For the intermediate and more advanced golfer, I like to cover the basics and then move into the full swing, including the takeaway, back turn, shoulder rotation, hip rotation, downswing, proper ball contact, and follow-through—pronation and supination of the wrists. For children, the important thing is to make it fun. I will also work with you on chipping pitching, sand shots, and putting—lastly course management and golf etiquette. I like using videotape where appropriate.

"I loved the very helpful tips Barry shared during the lesson. The advice was clear and easy to apply, making the experience enjoyable and productive. If you’re looking to improve your golf game, I’d definitely recommend trying Barry’s lessons yourself. They offer great insights that really make a difference on the course. Give it a shot and see how your skills can improve! ⛳🙂

With over three decades of experience as a military trainer, soccer coach, graduate marketing professor, and now an IPTPA coach/trainer, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our coaching sessions. While I'm a 4.0-rated player, that is not what makes me a good coach. Playing the game at a high level and coaching others require different skills. Coaching goes beyond following proven techniques and passing exams. It is about connecting with my students and tailoring lessons to their unique needs and skill levels. I understand that each player has their makeup and learning style, and I am skilled at adapting my coaching methods to ensure maximum progress and fulfillment. As your pickleball coach, I am focused on enhancing your skills and serving as a motivator and a dedicated instructor for your safety. While pickleball is an exciting game, it has seen increased injuries due to players not fully understanding its nuances. I will guide you in playing safely and provide the necessary knowledge to prevent injuries, allowing you to enjoy the game fully without compromising your well-being.

"That lesson was quite helpful. Brad's focus on consistency really stood out, and I appreciated how he explained the positioning technique clearly. Though I still have room to improve, I’m feeling more prepared to work on my shots. Still, it’s encouraging to see progress after just one lesson, hope to keep building on this with Brad’s guidance.

I'm a current D1 athlete passionate about sharing my love for tennis with players of all levels. With 15 years of coaching experience, I'm dedicated to helping you reach your full potential on the court. Let's work together to elevate your game in a fun and supportive environment!
