I grew up in Northeast Ohio playing every sport you could think of except golf. As luck would have it, this gives me a unique perspective, because I've personally been where most of you are at. The majority of people who end up becoming golf pros started playing at a very young age, therefore they often lack the understanding for the frustration we all face in this game as adults.Eventually I picked up golf in my late 30's and absolutely fell in love with it, but I wasn’t very good. Ultimately, my failures were outweighed by my desire to succeed, which fueled my passion to not only improve, but to excel.I took the learning techniques from my other sports experiences and applied them to golf. As it turns out, that practical knowledge rapidly blossomed into significant improvement, and ultimately into a career. Not long after, I found myself teaching golf at The Ohio State University and then subsequently founding the MMGA.
