“ I just love helping my students improve their golf games. The relationships formed through golf have been some of the most rewarding and significant in my life, and I am so excited to work with Jim and Crystal at the Legends. I am very grateful to Ted Bishop for this opportunity to teach at his wonderful facility- and I look forward to helping you play more enjoyable and better golf!”
Areas of focus-
Has experience with every age and skill level; but particularly enjoys short game and course management. “ I believe that competitive golf is very different than non competitive golf; and having a great short game and playing to your strengths can really help you make the most out of your abilities. In recruiting and building players for the last decade, I can say the main differences that separates juniors especially are short game and managing themselves and their strengths around a golf course in competition.”
