Teaching Philosophy:
My teaching philosophy starts with creating a relaxing and enjoyable environment for my students to learn. Each student will have a game improvement plan with each lesson designed around that plan. I believe my teaching starts from the ground up starting with a key foundation of three basic fundamentals: grip, stance, and alignment. With this foundation I am confident I can build a consistent golf swing.
-
Stress the importance of having a fundamental approach that results for a consistent swing.
-
Use science to give the player an understanding of cause and effect.
-
Learn to establish positions that promote coordination that will avoid swing flaws.
-
When problems do arise know how to correct that part of the swing by having solid fundamentals.
-
Make the lesson fun and enjoyable.

Teaching Philosophy:
Jim’s teaching philosophy is to teach the game from the hole back to the tee; developing sound mechanics in route to a solid, repeatable swing. By starting at the hole with a basic putting stroke, students begin with the simplest movements. Once they are comfortable length and body movement can be gradually added to increase length as they move away from the hole, maintaining solid balance and tempo throughout
