My knowledge and interest in coaching putting has grown immensely over the last few decades. I have been very fortunate to have gained experience working with PGA touring professionals and top putting coaches. I coach a putting stroke style that matches each players optimal rhythm, is coasting vs accelerating at impact. A complete evaluation includes recommendations on pre-putt routine, address and posture check, alignment test, green reading tips, stroke acceleration, stroke timing and mechanics, ball launch and spin check. My students learn how to practice better by implementing the best drills for their individual needs resulting in the fastest progress and best results.
I custom fit my approach for each student. Together, we identify strengths and weaknesses, introduce new techniques as needed, identify tendencies and learn to become more self corrective.
Our goal is to find and prioritize what is best for each individual’s game and to filter out the overload of unnecessary information. The key to success is to personalize the plan while keeping it as simple as possible.
