Work History

Golf Teaching Professional

Self-employeed
01.2023 - Current

It depends on who I am teaching, but the job is always to connect with the individual on a personal level and to figure out what they want to accomplish in the game of golf.


I accomplish this through an initial phone call and client intake form. Then I'll meet in public with the client, at the golf course, to take them through a real time assessment that includes a review of every area of their game.


Based on what we find out during the assessment, I create a game improvement plan and a roadmap to move forward with towards improving their game and reaching their golf goals.
