"This was a private lesson for me and my girlfriend. We’ve been wanting to learn the basics and fundamentals and I saw the teachme app ad somewhere. After going through different coaches and reviews I stumbled on Patrick. I’m glad we choose Patrick because he was exactly was his reviews said. My and my girlfriend were nervous at first and also having to be instructed in front of a bunch of other golfers felt nerve racking, but Patrick made it super easy. Super patient. He provided clubs and the steps he took with the explanation through every movement was great. He started by explaining to my girlfriend how golf is played and the terminologies. We booked 3 sessions with him and can’t wait for the next.

My mission is to teach you how to use your hands properly to hit a golf ball with effortless power and control. The skills you develop will improve all aspects of your golf game. Get Your Game In Gear! History: - State Team Champion – State of Maryland 1984, Runner-Up State Team Championship 1985. - Two time NJCAA Individual Qualifier 1986 and 1987. Montgomery College, Rockville MD. - 2002 Two Ball Champion of the Baltimore Cup – Caves Valley MD. - Two time Individual Qualifier for the Maryland Open (2008 and 2009). - Two time Individual Qualifier for the Maryland Amateur (2008 and 2009). I can honestly tell you that I never felt I could get to the next level in golf because my swing always fell apart at some point during a round. I was missing something that the better players knew but I had yet to learn. Then I met my mentor AJ Bonar from The Truth about Golf TV fame. I flew out to San Diego to have a private lesson and my golf life changed. It took just five minutes to instantly improve my ball striking, chipping and putting. We played a round the next day and I shot three under par. I became a plus 2 later that year and qualified as an amateur to play in two consecutive Maryland Opens – professional event. My swing held up! So what does this all mean for you? I will teach you the methods and techniques that I learned 22 years after I started to play the game. You are never to old to learn what really works in golf and you are not too young to learn how to use the club properly. I am honored and excited to carry this legacy to the next generation of golfers. Let’s Get Your Game in Gear.
