About John

"I believe that students will improve their game when they clearly understand why a change will benefit them, and are then presented with simple thoughts, drills and exercises that work with their own personal body type and athletic ability," says John. "I try to insure that each student enjoys their time on the lesson tee, and leaves feeling good, not only about their progress, but about themselves as well. I incorporate many teaching philosophies into my instruction to compliment the many different types of students and learning styles."
