“Eric is engaging, patient, and makes learning enjoyable.”Gordon G., student
About EricGolf is all about “muscle memory.”
For my first 10 years of golfing, I relied on my own swing. While I enjoyed the game, my improvement was limited. Then I met an instructor who spent six months helping me rebuild my swing and correct my fundamentals.
Did those lessons fix my swing? Yes and no.
The lessons gave me the right foundation, but it actually took nearly two years for the changes to become natural. Why? Because my body had repeated the same motion for 10 years. Those old habits were deeply ingrained, and replacing them required thousands of repetitions.
Why do I share this experience?
Because beginners have a tremendous advantage. They can learn proper fundamentals from the start instead of spending years correcting bad habits later. Any qualified instructor can teach the basics of a sound golf swing. After that, the key is repetition. The more you practice correctly, the faster your body learns and remembers the movement.
Golf is all about muscle memory—but muscle memory must be built the right way from the beginning.
Since I rebuilt my swing—not perfectly, but close to a fundamentally sound and repeatable motion—I have been helping friends and their friends improve their games. Last September, I earned my USGTF certification, which was a meaningful milestone in my golf journey.
My lesson rates are intentionally affordable. It is not because I undervalue my time or experience. Rather, I remember how difficult it was to find quality instruction at a reasonable price when I was looking for one. I believe golf should be accessible to anyone who wants to improve, and I plan to keep my rates that way.
One thing I always tell my students is that golf improvement happens during practice, not during lessons. Lessons provide direction, but practice creates results. Without enough practice between lessons, progress becomes slower and more expensive because you are relying solely on lesson time. Professional golfers often hit thousands of balls to make a small adjustment. While amateur golfers do not need to practice at that level, repetition is still essential for building proper muscle memory.
To help my students improve between lessons, I provide FREE video analysis. Students can send me their swing videos while practicing, and I can offer feedback before bad habits become permanent.
With 25 years of golfing experience, USGTF certification, and structured drills designed for independent practice, I can help you improve one step at a time. Whether you are a beginner learning the fundamentals or a golfer trying to break through a plateau, I would be happy to help. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.Go to profileSuperCoach

“Great expertise and great advice. Looking forward to more sessions”James T., student
About ScottHi all - I’m looking for some new students for the winter season! It’s a great time to work on swing changes or learn the swing etc. I’ve had some great success over the years with winter training at the range and simulators to either work on the full swing or hone parts of the game.
Chipping /putting short game or even speed training for those long drivers.
Also breaking down the whole swing to get ready for spring. Tappan good center has a great set up all closed in with heaters or indoors at a sim. For preferably at the range where we can see direct results.
Let me know I teach young /older newbies and or high level low handicappers! Thx

Participating in numerous MGA, USGA, and amateur tour events, I have celebrated victories in a couple of tournaments.

Whether building a swing for new players or addressing specific issues and fixes, I am dedicated to helping you enhance your skills on and off the course.

“I had my first two-hour lesson with Dan this week and couldn’t be happier with the experience. He came in with a clear game plan, took the time to understand my goals, and was extremely knowledgeable and patient with me as a new golfer. After just one lesson, I’m already seeing positive results. I’ve already booked my next session and look forward to continuing to work with Dan. Highly recommend!”Parker C., student
About DanI’m a high school health and PE teacher with a dense sports background. Football was my main sport but I’ve been playing golf for almost 12 years now, currently hold a USGA 14.5 handicap. Built on an approach to move tee to green as efficiently as possible. Most amateur golfers philosophy is to par as much as you can but, what they don’t realize is if you bogey 18 holes of golf, you would shoot a 90. My goal for anyone who comes to me is to feel confident and become competitive in every round of golf they play.Go to profile96GreatTop rated
