Why I Teach Golf
Each morning I cannot wait to begin my first lesson. I believe teaching golf is what I was born to do (major definite purpose in life). I enjoy everything about the game of golf. My passion for the game has not dwindled in 46 years of playing and 28 years of teaching. The Golf Academy at Terra Cotta is the realization of a life long dream to provide the best practice and learning environment possible.
