Sometime’s all you need is a little coaching. As a PGA of Canada member, I coach concepts and techniques which are common sense and easy to understand, designed to improve your golf game on-the-course. Golf is a wonderful game, with many lifelong benefits. I take pride in helping my clients to achieve their golfing goals by helping them understand their unique pathway to improvement, and providing assistance along the way.

OCCASIONALLY, I STILL COMPETE

 
 

I am a sucker for golf tournaments. I love it, there is nothing like playing the back nine in contention to win. I don’t compete as much as I used to but still play from time to time and keep trying to improve.
