2012 will be the year that I dedicate myself to become even more of a coach rather than just a teacher of golf.
For the first time, I will be including supervised practice sessions in addition to your lesson times with me. These supervised practice sessions will ensure that you are developing the skills learned during your previous lesson. My presence guarantees that you are correctly practicing the skills you are trying to learn. It is a check-point to make sure that you are ready to progress to your next lesson.
This supervised practice process is imperative to accelerated learning, and it maximizes your chance to reach your full potential.
For those of you that feel you only need a lesson or two on a specific topic, I will still offer the traditional 30 and 60 minute lessons.
My passion to be your coach in this game of golf is only surpassed by my strong desire for you to improve!
