Teaching philosophy

To create an atmosphere that supports progress through hard work.

Golf is a motor skill which involves visualization, feel and understanding that can only be learned and not taught. Understanding the source of the power and simplifying the movement brings the basics together

“With 25 years of teaching experience at four different golf courses in Alberta, I have taught a wide variety of students and golf camps. My approach is to not over teach, but help students achieve their goals through a fun, comfortable environment that puts students at ease. I compare the golf swing to learning to play the piano… it’s all about muscle memory and training our bodies and muscles to repeat the desired result. I will give you the fundamentals in an easy to learn way with the focus being on the proper set up. If you start with sound fundamentals (grip, aim, stance and posture), it makes swinging the golf club easy.

I enjoy teaching people of all ages and abilities, and I especially enjoy teaching new golfers. I believe that anyone regardless of athletic ability or age can learn to play and enjoy the amazing game we call golf.”
