I have helped hundreds of students transform their game, and I've worked with all skill-levels and ages. I've had junior golfers become high school state champions and go on to play college golf. I've helped absolute beginners break 100. In 2022, one of my long-time students won the Utah State Senior Amateur! Being a coach and helping my students achieve their goals is so much fun.

The closest I've been to a hole-in-one was when I was 9 years old -- 112 yards with 7-iron to an inch. My lowest score for 18 holes is 68; lowest for 9-holes is 31. I was born and raised in South Africa, and have lived in the USA since 1995. I met my wife when we were students in Provo, UT. We have four children, and have lived in UT, AZ, VA, and now in TX, where we love the mild winters and hot summers (well, no one really loves the summers here, but we tolerate them happily, knowing what the other 9 months are like).

I'm often asked about my teaching philosophy, or what methods I use. I'm a believer in learning by doing, and that practice makes permanent, so you had better practice things that are truly helpful. 

​As one of my students, you will get clear and simple instructions, along with purposeful practice exercises to that, together, help you grow your skill and confidence. I use a blend of data from my student’s ball flight, body movements, and playing statistics, and then during virtual or in-person lessons I help you know what the most important areas of focus we should have.

By using motion capture/motion measurement to quickly see what "gaps" my students have, we know exactly what you need to improve. The result: My students grow their skills, shoot lower scores, have more fun, and they love the game!
