I have been playing golf for more than 30 years. I have studied the fundamentals of the golf swing utilizing VHF tapes, instructional books, and the Internet. The best golf instruction begins with teaching the core lessons taught by Ben Hogan, Harvey Penick, and David Leadbetter. These golf instructors emphasize the development of feel and feedback. I enjoy working with beginning golfers, and I want to give back to the game everything the game has given me. I also regrip and re-shaft golf clubs.

Kristen
Learn pickleball! I'm a full time professor, and I've played pickleball for over 7 years.. I taught so many of our friends how to play that my wife said, you should give lessons.. So I became a certified instructor through the first pickleball organization, The International Pickleball Teaching Professional Association (IPTPA). I offer personalized instruction, built upon a foundation of effective strategies and skillful technique. Its super fun so you should join us!
"Today’s lesson with Jamie was quite helpful, especially focusing on solving problems with my backhand. Although I still need to see improvements on the skills he taught me, I feel more confident about my overall game now. Still, there's room to grow, I suppose consistent practice will make the difference.
