About Brian

With over 34 years of experience, I bring a relaxed, knowledgeable and encouraging approach to teaching golf. Whether you're picking up a club for the first time or fine tuning your game, you're in good hands. Sometimes it is the smallest of adjustments that make the biggest difference!

I have taught everyone from highly experienced golfers, weekend warriors, juniors and beginners. I tailor lessons to fit your goals, your pace and your style. Men, women, kids and groups are all welcome! Lessons are fun, pressure free, and focused on building confidence and skills that last.

What to expect? User-friendly instruction, plenty of patience, and maybe a few laughs along the way. A lesson may be best on the driving range, or on the course, alone, or with a foursome.

Whether you're looking to fix that slice, master your short game, or just feel more comfortable on the course, come on out and let's tee it up. I believe golf should be enjoyable and rewarding, no matter your level.
