Unlock your golfing potential with personalized instruction. I began playing golf at age 7, started playing competitively at age 10, was a successful junior player and played in several national level events. I went to college to become a golf professional. I followed that path after graduating for 6 years and earned PGA Class A Professional accreditation while at Ruth Lake Country Club in Hinsdale, IL. While working as a professional, I gave countless lessons to players of all abilities ranging from juniors just starting the game, to elite level junior players at the high school level, ladies, seniors, and even handicapped/disabled golfers. While I left the PGA Pro life for a career in technology in the Golf Industry, I have remained a lifelong student of the dynamics of golf swing, short game, and all aspects of the game. I play 70+ rounds each year and love to compete or just play for fun. One thing I know, Golf is not one-size-fits-all sport, fun can be had at all levels if you match the course to your ability and the approach to play that aligns with to your athletic capabilities. I prefer to tailor my approach to each student and what goals they are trying to achieve. Whether you're just starting to learn the game, or been playing for years and just struggling with a few things, I can help get you on track and working on sound principles and fundamentals.
