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.
