Why I Teach: There are a number of reasons why I love teaching golf. First, every day is different. Whether you are working with a scratch golfer or a beginner it’s rewarding to see their excitement when they start hitting shots they might not have thought they were capable of. Also, I love figuring out the best way to communicate an idea. How you say or present an idea is as important as the idea itself. My favorite thing though is helping people enjoy the game of golf more and encourage them along the way.
