Senior beginners will appreciate Michael’s patient coaching style. He explains the process clearly, making it easy to grasp quickly. I loved how accessible his teaching was for my whole family of adult beginners. If you’re new to golf and want a friendly, effective lesson, Michael is definitely worth a try!

I loved how Michael broke down the golf swing in a simple way and helped me understand where my weight was shifting during the downswing. The lesson felt clear and easy to follow. If you're looking to improve your game with straightforward guidance, give Michael’s lessons a try. It’s a great experience for anyone wanting to learn more about their swing. ⛳️

My 13-year-old son has been working with Michael for the past year, and the improvement has been incredible—not just in his swing, but in his confidence and love for the game. The way he connects with junior players is something special. Lessons are fun, focused, and always encouraging. He’s gone from struggling to make contact to competing in local junior tournaments with real excitement. We couldn’t ask for a better mentor.

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonLearn how a golf swing works and basics of posture, stance, grip and ball position based on the golf clubs being used. Putting basics as well.
Lesson 11+Advance targeting, green approaching refinement. Advance putting, club speed increase without laboring your back!
Lesson 4-10Pitching, chipping, bunker technique and refining full swing to increase sequencing for better consistency.
Lesson 2-3Swing development and evaluation for specific improvement to help your swing. I do not make people swing a certain way but rather work with what feels best for them.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonSwing evaluation and discussion of overall tendencies that need to be fixed. Review and develop best approach to improving based on your expectations. Putting evaluation.
Lesson 11+Course management and advanced shot types (e.g. shaping shots)
Lesson 4-10Develop new shot types to allow for better course management. Continue to refine swing where needed.
Lesson 2-3Refine swing changes to develop better consistency. Work on any problem areas such as: bunker play, pitching, chipping (beginner to advanced) including flop shots and generating proper spin for better control.
Youth players
Working with kidsWith kids it's all about fun. From putting games to hitting a ball on the range, enjoying the experience is always my key focus. Proper golf manners and learning how to work with others is also important when picking up the game, as I have learned myself. These lessons go far beyond the golf course and that is my overall goal when working with kids. Patience and gentle persistence is my main approach to achieve this.
Working with teenagersWith teens I approach golf in a critical thinking fashion. I like to discuss issues I see and allow them to critically think to adjust properly, with guidance when necessary. Refining fundamental is key, and ensuring proper repetition rather than just hitting golfballs will help develop a more rounded game for better results on the course. Training will allow for less margin for error so they can see if something doesn't work right away, that if proper effort is put into the process that will change. We begin to move away from result oriented practice and more so the process of practice and what that truly yields in becoming a better golfer. In short we work on developing the mind frame to be stronger and not get in the way of the overall performance.
What you need to bringPlease bring your own golf clubs if you have them.
What I can bringI have right handed and left handed golf clubs if needed.
