Summary
I enjoy connecting with people through golf and believe golf is a lifelong sport that anyone can play and enjoy. My passion for golf has contributed to my experienced teaching techniques and ability to convert non-golfers into avid golfers. I strive to make every lesson fun and engaging while promoting the fundamentals of the golf swing.
