About Daniel

Education: M.S. Sports Psychology, B.S. Kinesiology (minor Education), B.S. Psychology (minor Health), PGA Business School, PGA Certification for Coaching & Teaching

My teaching is a mix of old school golf, new science, kinesiology, and developmental psychology. If you want someone to put you, or your child, in all the traditional positions over and over, I'm not your guy. If you want to learn all the reasons certain movements work, how the brain processes aspects of the golf swing, how kids develop at specific stages, how modern research has turned many traditional things upside down, and so on, I dare you to find anyone better. My education has been about the brain and body, I keep up on current scientific research in golf and human movement, and while I have met many golf pros who know the basics of the swing as well as I do, I have only met but one or two that understand the mind/body connection as well as I do.

First Golf Lesson Given: 1988 (I have a fair bit of experience)

Lowest Score on Regulation Length Course: 66 (5 under Par)

Longest Known Drive not off the top of the Snake River Canyon: 390 yards, Spring Creek hole #2 (it's flat), Off the canyon? Way out there!!

Interesting tid bit about me: I am a direct descendant of Chang Bunker, one of the original Siamese Twins. Back in the early 1990's I called Joel Dahmen (PGA Tour Player) to the tee when he was 5 years old for his first round of golf ever at Clarkston CC, we all knew he was a golf prodigy very shortly after that.

Currently living in Thailand and available for playing and video lessons in Bangkok and Ratchaburi areas, others if you are willing to pay my way.
