Golf Philosophy

A PGA Associate and US Kids Golf Certified Instructor, Mike developed a great following due to his swing ideas & improvement techniques. He‘s influenced by the best ball strikers like Ben Hogan, Lee Trevino, Jack Nicklaus, Annika Sorenstam, & Moe Norman, and top teachers like Ernest Jones, Doug Edgar, Mike Austin, & Bob Toski.

 

Mike tailors a plan for each player to maximize potential in the long & short games so scores are dramatically lowered. His unique drills & repetition make a player practice as if they are on a golf course. The perennial golf quote "The longest walk in golf is from the driving range to the 1st tee" will become lost in translation as you improve on chipping, pitching, & putting as much as the driver and irons.
