John has been a very pleasant surprise. I was sure I didn't need any lessons but having "played" for two years I was frustrated with my game. John has improved my game significantly with his coaching and patience. If you are having second thoughts about lessons I would highly recommend trying John. It is a pleasure to work with him.

John is a great coach who takes pride in what he does and is really only concerned with making sure you're learning and improving. If you're on the sidelines or unsure, don't waste any more time or money on equipment you don't need. Book now!

John has gotten me to where I want to be and am consistently shooting under 100 thanks to him, even broke 80.

Mike came with distance issues between irons and a weak fade. I adjusted his grip. Changed his ball positions and over the course of a few weeks, he found the "bottom" of his swing. The last time I worked with Mike the weak fade was gone. He was striking the ball much better with authority!

How it works

Fairway metals and driver. Then it's "finish time!" Chipping, sand play, and most importantly, putting! After we're done, you'll only see me if you develop a problem or just need a "tune up."

Lesson 4-10Get the proper distance with each iron. 3i or 4i though wedge. Finding bottom, where the club meets the ball. Until your striking without "thin" or "fat" shots.

Lesson 2-3Work through the bag, starting with a wedge. That's where drilling begins. And I have many drills I use. Depending on the student.

Advanced training plan

Your first lessonFinding the problem.

Lesson 11+Putting and golf course management. With advanced players, putting problems are usually "feel issues." And knowing where to play the ball for the best chance to get on in regulation. And how to escape trouble.

Lesson 4-10Working on the problem.

Lesson 2-3Drills to work through the problem.

Youth players

Working with kidsI love working with kids. Their brain is like a spong. And it's fun! Just remember, you have to come with a guardian. Parents or older siblings.

Working with teenagersTeenagers. Well, they train like adults. But I'll train you in a way to preserve your back and body. So you have years to play without aches and pains. All it takes is dedication.

What you need to bringBring a towel or two with your club's and shoes. Dress in golf attire. Please, No jeans! Dress comfortable for the weather . Bring your clubs and golf shoes. (Comfortable sneakers work) golf cleats are better.

What I can bringI don't provide equipment! Sorry. You must provide your own clubs and golf shoes (sneakers acceptable)

Teaching golf for the past 15 years and playing for 25+. Comfortable working with beginners and all the way to scratch golfers. I’m excited to help you improve your game. I also focus on golf etiquette, the absolute do's and do not's of the game. It's ALL about the ability to avoid trouble and capitalize from good positions. But the game inside the game is chipping and putting. I won the 1986 Strolo Farms Cup in Ocala, FL And won the 1995 Hillsborough county Sheriff's department Mounted Posse /Lykes Shoot Out Tournament in Plant City, FL I love the game and its history, and I'll do everything I can to preserve it!
