"I work with each student as an individual by establishing his or her goals and objectives. Once the needs of each player are determined, I develop a tailor-made program to meet those needs. ... I feel the best way to work with a student is to establish good fundamentals, reinforce them with a strong background of proper swing mechanics and provide positive feedback from advanced video software – in order to create a great golf swing and even greater golf performance."
