Steve has adopted the philosophy of being a “total-game” coach, which is a coach that seamlessly blends technique development with essential playing skills (mental, social, & emotional game). He also considers himself a “functional” coach in the sense that he will use what is already present in a player’s swing repertoire to help swing in the most efficient manner possible. Only when it is absolutely necessary will the player need to overhaul his/her swing with solid fundamentals in mind (grip, posture, & body positions) based on what type of ball flight the player desires.Steve has learned to develop programs for seniors, adults, & juniors that will help them to enjoy the game of golf in a structured learning environment. Programs are developed under the working philosophy that players should engage in 3 types of activities to maximize learning and fun. They are as follows: • Playing on the golf course • Participating in group clinics • Private lessons,Steve is very interested in the biomechanics of the golf swing. He has a keen eye when it comes to subtle differences in the movement of the body and seeks to find the most efficient way to swing the golf club appropriate for the player’s ability and potential mobility.
