After years of playing, touring and enjoying teaching, I have been
fortunate to have my passion for golf become a part of my life that I will
treasure forever. In the past two years, I have been able to establish a
teaching program that achieves excellent results and enjoyment.
Here at the Learning Centre, I stand by “game improvements guaranteed
or your money back.”
My dream was to be a golf professional and design a hole that would
incorporate all hazards. It would be one where I could teach playing
lessons and include every aspect the game of golf has to offer, from tees,
to bunkers, to greens, rather than offer a typical driving range lesson. My
dream came true when I purchased a 104-acre parcel of land. I designed,
built, maintain and teach at my own Learning Centre.
Now I give playing lessons on this private hole, designed with two
greens that are played from various tees, ranging from 600 yards down to
109 yards. This gives students the opportunity to learn and practice from
putter to driver. The results are immediate.
The playing lessons have been proven successful for all types of
students, including beginners and kids’ golf camps. The lower handicap
students love the privacy, and my involvement with them includes learning
the mental game, dealing with pressure, course management, routine
and thought process, assessing shots, and learning from the blackboard.
The benefits for me, personally, are endless. While demonstrating
what I’m teaching, I see tremendous results in my students and have
improved my own game. I now also have a new love and appreciation
for the amount of work and knowledge that goes into maintaining tees,
greens and fairways. I believe golf is life, and everything else is detail.
I thank the USGTF and the CGTF for the assistance they provided
me and for the international global recognition they have established to
benefit those who love sharing their passion for the game.
