Gus's Teaching Philosophy

Teaching the game of golf is not just about showing someone how to hit a golf ball long and straight, it has many other facets. My main goal as an instructor is to help the student with what their main concerns are at that time whether they are a true beginner or a scratch handicap player looking for their first win. The interview process is very important in determining how to approach the lesson plan. In my 15 years of teaching, coaching, and  35 years of competitive play I feel very confident I can help you become a better player. With passion, commitment, and an open mind to change, we can make progress to making you a better player!
