Recorded a hole-in-one 9 times throughout my golfing career
I was just a child when my parents got me started in golf and from that time on, my passion for the game never stopped. After a career as an amateur I decided to pursue golf as my profession. Today I have more than 35 years of experience as a golf professional and maintain the same level of dedication both towards my students and my own game.
It's simple: Adapt and customize the instruction to the skills and learning ability of the individual while at the same time, providing an enjoyable learning experience.
