Full Swing
My teaching philosophy focuses on the simplicity and truths of the golf swing. I believe most golfers, being novice or avid golfers, we all try to over-complicate the game. There are a millions of books, magazines, tv shows, and even movies to aid a determinded golfer to imporving his or her game. The fact of the matter is simple. For ever action there is a re-action. If we can determine which re-action we don't like...we can focus on correcting the action that caused it.
I focus primarily on 2 pre-swing principles (balance & alignment) and 2 in-swing principles (rotation & shaft angle). My goal is not only to teach my students "how to", but to educate them as to "why" things happen using the laws of cause and effect - the "reel" truths of the golf swing!
Short Game
I love teaching short game skills (putting, chipping, pitching) and I strongly believe in "reaction" vs "process". I believe most of us have the ability to make a better golf swing by "reacting" to our visualized "targetl" using our hand eye coordination versus "processing" the information infront of us to accomplish reach or target.
Ultimately I enjoy watching my students find a new level of personal confidence while learn to play the game at a higher level, whatever that level may be!
Testimonials
"Matt, When I came to you my score was averaging 110 and after your lessons I am now in the mid 90s. I want to thank you for the expert tutelage you gave me. You helped me improve my swing and my putting tremendously.
Thanks to you, I am enjoying playing the game of golf again."
- Scott
"Dear Matt, Just wanted to say THANK YOU !!!!!!!! After my lesson on Monday, which you helped to improve 3 areas of my golf game. I played on Tuesday and took 8 strokes off of my game. It is the best I have played. That hybrid is a wonderful club, but it doesn't replace a professional like you."

*NO JUNIOR GOLF – Tuesday, August 9th as we are hosting a WPGA Junior Tour event
During the 8 week camp, we will be covering a variety of material ranging from course etiquette to the basics of the swing. We will be utilizing a wonderful teaching program for beginners called SNAG Golf (Starting New At Golf). SNAG Golf is a set of hands on large easy to use clubs, balls, targets, and training aids with audible and visual feedback that is fun for everyone (even the adults)! It is the best “first touch” program to teach the game of golf to beginners of all ages.
