About
Helping others succeed in any endeavor brings immense satisfaction, perhaps the greatest in life. Since 1992, I have been teaching golf and my passion for helping golfers reach their full potential continues to grow. Nowadays, lessons take a different form - I analyze swing videos sent to me and schedule live lessons over Zoom, Skype, or Google Meet. All students, regardless of age, experience, athleticism, or gender, can expect to receive professional and respectful treatment. Watching my students develop new and improved habits is a wonderful process that I cherish.

As a stickler for pre-swing fundamentals, I emphasize proper grip, posture, and alignment, as they are the root cause of many swing flaws. I challenge my students with dynamic drills to reinforce the targeted feel or position, and I use slow-motion video and photos to give them immediate feedback. After each lesson, I send a comprehensive recap via email that plays an important role in the learning process.

My goal is to teach my students to become their own instructor, equipped with the necessary knowledge, encouragement, and motivation. I guarantee that their confidence and competence will be at an all-time high after taking a lesson or series of lessons with me. They will be able to self-correct when encountering a problem on the golf course, avoiding the frustration that plagues many golfers.

I am blessed to meet many wonderful people from different walks of life through my job. In incorporating a different approach for each individual, I enjoy hearing about their unique backgrounds, challenges, and ultimate goals. Even though practicing golf may not be the most favorite pastime, I strive to make it more enjoyable and effective. Let's get started by sending me a video of your swing - I look forward to working together!

John offers game-changing lessons that last around 90 minutes for just $40. His instruction is both informative and motivating, as he helps you identify and correct swing killers with specific drills. In addition, you'll receive comprehensive emails with practice drills, swing tips, and professional swing videos for reference. Having worked with multiple golf teachers, I confidently recommend John's instruction to anyone seeking to improve their game.

As a beginner in golf, I struggled to find a coach who could cater to my needs. Fortunately, I stumbled upon John, who has been an incredible instructor. His patience, friendliness, and thoroughness while teaching have made my learning experience an enjoyable one. In addition to his exceptional skills on the range, he sends me long and detailed emails detailing every aspect of the lesson. He also assigned me exercises to work on in between lessons, which helped me improve my game and make the most of my time with him. What I appreciate most about John is his dedication to his students and his affordable pricing. I'm excited to keep working with him and improving my golf skills, and I have nothing but praise for him.

As a novice in golf, my goal was to learn the fundamentals. During my initial lesson, John provided valuable assistance in teaching me the correct grip, stance, and precise lower body motions required to achieve optimal ball contact. I appreciated John's patience when I encountered difficulties with certain techniques. I'm eagerly anticipating my continued sessions with John and hopeful that he will help me improve my golfing abilities this season.

With his extensive experience and utmost professionalism, John demonstrated an impressive level of expertise in golf. Despite my intermediate to advanced skill level from playing for the past decade, his teachings uncovered new knowledge for me and redefined my grip and takeaway motions, which will certainly enhance my ball striking and consistency in the long run. I eagerly anticipate testing out these newly acquired skills on the range. While I've watched numerous online videos for golf tips and lessons, nothing compares to the live guidance of a skilled instructor like John. His ability to communicate and showcase the training methods was top-notch. The follow-up emails he sent me were insightful and informative, providing a wealth of valuable information for future reference.
