Jonathan is an Air Force jet pilot who loves golf and is just starting to have some time to devote to getting better. You will see that he is a hard worker as he has made tremendous improvement over the two months since his first online lesson, especially where it is most important, at impact. […]

Boo is one of the more interesting characters on the PGA Tour, and his swing demonstrates quite a few things that I like to focus on when teaching players of all levels.

Club pros play in a different league than do touring pros, but the demands of the game do not change. The shots still have to be hit, the course navigated, and the only difference is that the players in the field as a whole are not quite as good overall as the players in a […]
