I have 30 years of experience, with the lowest 8 handicap in my tournament days and consistently scoring in the mid to low 80s. I spent 4 years playing on the TGAA - Mid Atlantic Tour, competing in 1 and 2 day money golf tournaments up and down the east coast in the early 2006s as far down as these famous venues: - Jackie Gleason-Inverrary Classic (now known as the Honda Classic/Cognizant Classic) in Lauderhill, Florida.where Jack Nicklaus incredible finish came back in 78' to birdie the last 4 holes to win by 1 stroke ! - The Kingsmills PGA at Williamsburg, Va where David Duval #1 player in 1999 and won there back to back in 97' and 98'. - Plus on July 28th 2024 I hit my first hole-in-one at Virginia Beach National 1st tee on the 9th hole—135 yards with a one bounce 2 inches from the cup and then into the hole was an incredible experience so thankyou lord for prayers answered that day 🙏🏻. Now in 2023 I started teaching my son-in-law of 26yrs old and in just 6 months, helped him improve his game from shooting 128 down to breaking 90 ( Keep in mind only 10% of ALL golf players break 100 and 5% break 90 ). It's my goal to help ALL my students over 21yrs old get to one of that mile stone, so It's been an rewarding journey, and I'm excited to help others achieve similar success in their own game lord willing. 🙏🏻
"Dan’s approach to improving my swing was great. He started with minimal changes to improve my ball contact with my irons and I saw same day improvement!

"The lesson was quite helpful in highlighting some specific footwork issues I hadn't noticed before, though I think a bit more focus on shot consistency could be beneficial. Craig's approach feels steady and realistic, which I appreciate. Still, I’m hopeful that future lessons might cover more about controlling placement, looking forward to trying another session with him.

I've been a student of the great game of golf for a little over 20 years and continue to learn every day. One of my most significant accomplishments was achieving my first hole-in-one only two years into my playing journey. I've played in multiple recreational tournaments and have had the privilege of teaching my kids this great game. My philosophy is that golf should be fun and the process of playing better should be enjoyable. If you enjoy it and have fun, you'll want to play more, which means you'll ultimately get better.
"Thank you for being patient with me today

"The lesson with Wayne focused on dinking and volley practice, which I found quite helpful. I still need to learn how to anticipate pace and spin better but I’m improving due to Wayne’s insights. I highly recommend Wayne if you want to sharpen your pickleball skills.
