Private Lessons & Coaches in Cheverly, MD

I've been playing golf since I was 14, inspired by my great uncle, who was Arnold Palmer’s high school golf coach and remained friends with him throughout their lives. Currently, I hold a 2.4 handicap and was co-captain of the Latrobe, PA high school team. During college, I gave lessons to faculty and friends and participated in various amateur events, even though I didn’t compete for my college team. I love the game and find immense satisfaction in helping others enhance their enjoyment, whether they're just starting out or looking to refine their skills.

I have provided individual pickleball instruction and group clinics to novice and experienced players from teens to seniors. My approach is to get players playing as soon as possible. Once the fundamentals are introduced I find it best to allow the players to find their own comfort level and develop confidence by playing the game.
