What is your training philosophy? 

I realize that every student comes to me with his or her own set of goals.  Once I determine what the student wants from golf, I structure a game plan to meet their needs.  Identifying early on whether a student is a visual, verbal, or kinesthetic learner is very important.  I am also a big believer in drills to reinforce muscle memory. 

What are the three major flaws you find in most golfers' game?

The big three are:

-Grip

-Posture

-Swing Plane

Which is more important: the physical or mental side of golf? 

The mental side has the edge but both carry a lot of weight. 

What is your most memorable personal golfing experience?
