Designed and taught the junior lesson program at Muskego Lakes CC since 1978.
Have given a countless amount of individual lessons in the past 47 years.

My teaching philosophy and method:

I believe that the only way to teach is by explanation. Nobody learns or remembers well just being told what to do. There must be an explanation accompanied with a reason for everything being taught. Besides being able to explain necessary changes in at least five different ways I use other sports that the student is more familiar with to help in the comprehension of the suggested change.

My first lesson with any student starts out with you filling out a short questionnaire. I then ask you to hit a few balls followed by you explaining to me your knowledge of the grip setup, posture alignment and the swing itself. Getting these answers goes a long way to explaining to me why your motion is what it is.

From there I will fix your foundation and then sit back to see how much improvement you have without me touching your swing. Each lesson thereafter will be working on a maximum of two changes.

For every shot you hit during any lesson, I am always making sure your foundation is correct. If not, I will correct it before you swing. After most shots I will ask for your feedback and give you my thoughts on that swing.

I understand that most students are taking lessons to learn how to be more consistent in their ball flight and improve their solidness of contact. They are not trying to shoot par. They are just trying to have more enjoyment during their rounds. Yes, I do work with and improve the best of players, but I really enjoy teaching people what it takes to have the ball curve right to left and go further than they ever have before.

Guarantee: if you do not see an improvement in your ball striking in the first lesson, I will not charge you.

My goals for every student are:

· to see your ball curve right to left instead of left to right

· to hit it further with less effort

· to no longer feel sore in your arms or back when you are done playing

· to really understand cause and effect so that when you hit a bad shot you will have a good idea what you did wrong.
