I never had any aspirations of becoming a great golf instructor as a child. For me, golf has always been a game that is played. However, it became quite apparent later in my life that different levels of golf required different fundamentals. How true this is even today!

My clients span the spectrum from beginner to tour player. Over the years I have seen 17 handicaps become 8 handicaps, 8 handicaps go to 3 handicaps, and tour players finally break through to become champions. As I recall, all were very well pleased and happy to accomplish their goals. That is what is so great about the game of golf. It is an individual sport in which a player only measures themselves against “old man par” and their goals.
