Philosophy
 

Golf is easy to learn and improve at steadily if you understand and can demonstrate a few concepts. The rest tends to fall into place over time.

  • It’s much easier to “swing” the club than move it through positions.
  • You need to know how the club was made to work so you can swing it that way.
  • By learning from the beginning how to create different ball flights (low, high, left to right and right to left curves) you will learn more quickly, be more consistent and powerful, and less prone to slumps.

I can show you these skills and how to make them your own. If the game of golf appeals to you, you’ll practice them and get satisfying results. From that point, the place to learn how to apply what you’ve learned is the golf course. People hesitate to go out on the course till they think they’re ready. Though this seems to make sense, it’s downright counterproductive. The best way is to start with a few clubs on a short course. Then you can add more clubs and play more challenging courses if you want. By matching your equipment and difficulty of the courses you’re playing learning is fun and infinitely more productive. You’re playing the game and having fun right from the beginning. Then you can decide when and if you want more challenge. As a by product of this approach, you’ll learn to become your own best teacher. Then if you want, you can teach your friends and family how to play. I’ve evolved into this approach over time (since 1979) because I’ve found it to be the most enjoyable and effective way to work with all levels of golfers… from local club professionals to champion jr. players to people who want no more than to spend 60 to 90 minutes on a pitch and putt course (a really short and easy course) being about as unserious as you can be!
