Jimmy has taught players the game of golf for over 25 years. Jimmy’s teaching philosophy is about finding your next “level of perfect” by working with your swing to help make it work better for you. One aspect of the game Jimmy is particularly passionate about is course management. Jimmy believes there is a time when a valiant shot is needed and a time when play needs to be more conservative. The trick is knowing which shot is necessary and when to play it. Jimmy's extensive playing resume dictates his knowledge of the game; and his success with former students through coaching proves it. This includes 8 years as the High School golf coach for Westover Christian Academy in Danville, Virginia; where Jimmy guided the team to back-to-back Virginia Association of Christian Athletic State Titles. In addition, he was twice recognized as the Danville Register and Bee All-Metro Coach of the Year.
