Erick
Experienced Golf Coach and player, I work in the golf industry and I like to collect knowledge from other coaches, players, and professionals to pass on to my clients. Everyone is different, so I focus on the simple mechanics. All of my students have improved a lot! Thank you everyone for your support! My average client take around 5-10 lessons and after that they usually don’t need many more unless they are a beginner. I can help take 20-30 shots off your score! I work on the simple mechanics and simple changes anyone can make to the golf swing
"The lesson with Christopher was quite helpful, especially since he provided some pointers that I plan to work on, like improving my irons and wood shots. Though I still need more practice in those areas, I feel like I have a clearer idea of what to focus on. I guess I’ll just keep at it, though. Still, I think a little more practice will help me see real progress. If you’re looking to tighten up certain aspects of your game, Christopher’s guidance might be worth trying.
