My family had tried to get me into golf for years and finally gave me a few lessons with Sam as a gift. The way he taught led to quick improvements that finally made the game rewarding and fun to me.
I invested in more lessons beyond the initial gift and have been improving steadily. Golf is now a sport that I love to play!

I played golf as a kid and wanted to come back to it and get a refresher so signed up for lessons with Sam. He was able to watch me hit a few shots and make some small adjustments that got me making solid contact more consistently and made it fun from the start.
He was also extremely encouraging which was helpful to build my confidence back and make the whole process fun!

Sam did a great job of listening to what I wanted to work on and finding clear, simple drills to help improve my game.
I went from a 20 to 14 handicap within 7 lessons.

Before my first lesson with Sam, I had played golf on and off for about 10 years but never taken a lesson. I had only gotten off-hand instruction from friends and family members.
After about 30min of working with Sam I hit 5 of the best shots of my life in a row. His approach combined physical cues with a simple explanation of some of the less intuitive aspects of golf technique which I had been thinking about wrong all along.
I walk away from each lesson with a renewed sense of confidence and a desire to take the test the techniques I’ve just learned on the course.
If you’re looking to improve your game and have more fun doing it, Sam is definitely worth trying out!

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonArrive warm and stretched. I look to meet you where you are at and help suggest small changes to your swing to start to help you achieve your short term goals and build toward a more competitive and fun experience on the course.
Lesson 11+This is when maintenance occurs. We hope to have a version of YOUR swing established. Over corrections are inevitable and continued video monitoring of your swing will be used to connect your “feels” to your “reals.” That way your mental image of your swing matches the reality.
Lesson 4-10Here’s when we have a conversation about how happy you are with your progress and start to set some longer term goals. If you’re wanting to step up your game in a serious way, this is when we might make some more major changes to your technique. These changes may feel unnatural at first but will lead to more consistent ball striking in the future, increased power, and better control.
Lesson 2-3Continue to improve quality of contact, alignment, and spin control. Provide video of your swing with commentary to work on things when you practice at the range.

Working with kidsKeeping kids motivated is key. My focus with kids is to use fun demonstrations to focus on key elements of golf technique that get them to a place where they are making good contact more quickly. That way they are getting the reward from golf that keeps them engaged and motivated. Once they are focused and excited about the sport, we can start to add in more tedious aspects of golf technique for them to chip away at.
Working with teenagersI played golf as a teenager and have a keen memory for what kept me excited about the sport at the time. Making good contact and hitting good shots always helps! I also like to mix in references to current favorite pros and encourage them to build community and find friends their age to play and practice with. On coaching level, keeping the cues and drills lighthearted and fun is useful. I try not to get too technical with any of my students until they express an interest in talking about golf in that way and getting more serious. Until then I use simple physical cues to increase their understanding of swing mechanics. “Don’t over complicate things” is a motto of mine.
What you need to bringBring your clubs and an open mind!
What I can bringNo tricks or tools. Just fundamentals and cues to trigger the right technique.
