About Michael

I’m not just passionate about the game of golf—I’m passionate about helping others learn to love it, too. Teaching golf is what I do best, and I pride myself on keeping things simple, clear, and fun. I specialize in working with newer players as well as juniors who are ready to finally enjoy the game without all the complications.

Whether it’s a one-on-one lesson or a group clinic with 30+ students, I tailor my approach to fit each player’s needs and experience level. My true passion lies in sharing the joy of golf with anyone and everyone who wants to learn.

If you have any questions or are curious about getting started, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to help!
