From Royal Oak, MI, 25 + years as PGA Professional, Assistant and Teaching Professional at Babcock National GC, Babcock Ranch, FL. Student of renown tour instructor Jimmy Ballard.Golf Swing Philosophy- I am not an instructor of science. I understand ball flight laws and the causes and effects of path, speed, grip, and alignment, but also know the importance of physical makeup, mental composure and focus, along with an individuals personal swing goals and abilities with the understanding that no student is the same. I teach by positions of the swing with one goal in mind, that being solid contact.
