Loving what you do

"If you love what you do, you never work a day in your life."

I am very fortunate to be a living example of this phrase for the past 23 years. I started teaching and coaching others to play golf right after graduating college and have loved every minute of it.

I am excited that I have been granted the opportunity to write a golf instruction blog for CTGolfer.com. I have known Bob Samek for years and am happy to be working with him again. 

During my time as a coach I have had the opportunity to assist in thousands of golfers improve their games. Many are recreational players, some are competitive at the club level and others are highly competitive at the national level. I enjoy teaching players of all abilities. It makes for an interesting career when one day can consist of a junior golf clinic, a class for women beginners, a few lessons with some high handicappers and couple sessions with tournament players getting ready to play Division I college golf!

During my time as a teacher and coach I have studied diligently to learn not only the mechanics of the golf swing, but also how to best relay those findings to my students. Along the way I have earned the following certifications and memberships:

• Class A PGA of America member
• AMF Instructor Division member
• Golf Digest's "Best Teachers in Connecticut"
• Golf Magazine's "Top Teachers in America"
• CT Section PGA Teacher of the Year
• Titleist Performance Institute Certified Golf Fitness Professional
• K-Vest 3-D Motion Analysis Level 2 certification

Each week I will post a new article that will give you some insight on how to make your golf game more enjoyable. Some posts will be more relevant to beginning golfers while others will be of more interest to the better players.

Lastly, I think of a blog as a forum for discussion. I will look forward to your comments as well as suggestions for future topics.
