Work History

True Timing Swing

Self Employed
Aubrey, TX
09.2020 - Current

I have been teaching the game of golf part-time for over 30 years. As I increased my client's skills in playing, their swings improved by simply demonstrating drills to them for the proper angles before the club strikes the ball. I firmly believe that losing these angles is why golfers lack consistency in their game. Teaching these drills speeds up their improvement, and now my clients feel how the body moves without losing contact position.
