Question 1

Who do you work with?

Accepted Answer

I coach golfers of all ages and skill levels—from complete beginners to competitive junior, collegiate, and amateur players. Whether you're trying to break 100 or lower your handicap into the single digits, lessons are customized to your goals.

Question 2

What makes your coaching different?

Accepted Answer

My coaching combines PGA instruction with TPI Level 3 Power & Golf expertise. Rather than teaching one "perfect swing," I evaluate how your body moves, how the club moves, and what changes will help you play better based on your unique abilities.

Question 3

Do I need to change my entire golf swing?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. Most golfers don't need a complete rebuild. My goal is to identify the few changes that will create the biggest improvement while keeping your swing natural and repeatable.

Question 4

How long does it take to improve?

Accepted Answer

Every golfer is different, but many students notice measurable improvements within just a few lessons. Long-term improvement comes from consistent practice and following a personalized improvement plan.

Question 5

What is TPI (Titleist Performance Institute)?

Accepted Answer

TPI is the world's leading golf-specific fitness and movement assessment system. It helps identify physical limitations that may be affecting your swing, power, consistency, or even causing pain.

Question 6

What does a TPI Level 3 Power & Golf certification mean?

Accepted Answer

It represents one of the most advanced trainers in golf biomechanics, movement screening, power development, and performance training. This allows me to connect your physical capabilities with your golf swing and create solutions that improve performance.

Question 7

Do I have to be in great shape to benefit from TPI training?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. The assessment is designed for golfers of every age and fitness level. Exercises and recommendations are tailored specifically to your body and goals.

Question 8

Can TPI help me hit the ball farther?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Increasing distance isn't just about swinging harder. Better mobility, stability, sequencing, and efficient power production often lead to increased clubhead speed while maintaining control.

Question 9

Do you use launch monitors and video analysis?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lessons incorporate modern technology such as video analysis and launch monitor data when appropriate to provide objective feedback and track your progress.

Question 10

Will I receive drills after my lesson?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You'll leave each lesson with personalized drills and practice recommendations so you know exactly what to work on between sessions.

Question 11

Can you help with putting and short game?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Lower scores are often found inside 100 yards. Instruction includes putting, chipping, pitching, bunker play, course management, and full swing.

Question 12

Do you have 3-D motion and force plates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We have Swing Catalyst full motion plates in our bay as well as Smart2Move force plates. We have full 3-D body motion to see how the body moves in percentages and degrees. Never get lessons where someone is just watching you hit balls and guessing.

Question 13

Do you do playing lessons and outdoor lessons?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We do our outdoor and playing lessons at multiple courses in Metro Detroit. If you're looking for a playing lesson at the course you're a member of/play at most, we can schedule that as well!

Question 14

Do you offer individual lessons or coaching programs?

Accepted Answer

Both. You can schedule a single lesson or enroll in a long-term coaching program designed for continuous improvement.

Question 15

Do you offer junior golf instruction?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Junior golfers receive age-appropriate instruction focused on fundamentals, athletic development, confidence, and long-term success.

Question 16

Do you offer couples, family, or group lessons?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Small group, family, corporate, and junior clinics are available throughout the year.

Question 17

How often should I take lessons?

Accepted Answer

Most golfers benefit from lessons weekly, allowing time to practice while maintaining accountability and steady progress. However, that's really dependent on how quickly you're looking to improve, what changes we're going to make, etc.

Question 18

How much should I practice between lessons?

Accepted Answer

Quality matters more than quantity. Even 20–30 minutes of focused practice several times per week can produce significant improvement when you're practicing the right way.

Question 19

Can you help if I've plateaued?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Many golfers get stuck because they're practicing symptoms instead of fixing the root cause. A professional assessment often uncovers opportunities that immediately improve consistency.

Question 20

Can you help me prepare for tournaments or club championships?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Tournament preparation includes swing refinement, short game, course management, mental preparation, and practice planning to help you perform under pressure.
