REFLECTION

Reflection without judging ourselves, of a good or bad round can teach us where we need to improve, or what went right to get us that birdie or personal best round. We can then be more at peace when each shot presents itself. Witness.

FOCUS

Focus can be on an object, idea, or desire. When the mind is highly absorbed on one specific thing, such as a line of a putt, or the shaping of a shot it becomes capable of knowing that object in a special way. When we are focused, distractions and time pressures fade.We feel immersed in routine not results.

Testimonials

 

 

‘Mark, you are without a doubt the best teacher of golf that I have met. With all the instructional books, golf channel instruction videos, gadgets, etc, your ideas about the swing cuts away all of that chaff and allows me to hit the ball with power and accuracy, Whenever I find the time to practice and play, I enjoy the game more than ever! Thank you!’ -Pete
‘Mark is a brilliant Instructor! He believes in the sound proven P.G.A. teaching methods developed, but he also believes that no two people swing exactly the same way –they have different bodies, different abilities and never enough time to play. So he helps you make your own, as simple as possible, repeatable swing. All the while, his love of the game and his love of teaching helps make it fun. I’ve gone from beginner to mid-80’s in less than two years. Now we’ve set our goal to the mid-70’s and if Mark can hang in there, we’ll make it!’ Anonymous
‘Prepare yourself for success! Because of Mark’s experience and knowledge, he is patience, professional and positive. He is dedicated to an enjoyable learning experience. He knows what level instruction you need and he works with you until you ‘get it’. Through analysis and technology, he reinforces the correct fundamentals. His approach leads to immediate and measurable improvement. The 1-on-1 relationship really paid off! The specific drills and teaching aids allows you to feel the correct balance. I am now playing on one of the most difficult courses in a private club. I still have more to learn but am enjoying my playing experience’ -Z
‘I recently began playing again after a long absence from the game caused by an injury. Mark is helping me build a swing from the ground up that is enabling me to hit the ball as I always desired. My progress has been consistent and I recently carded my first eagle during a seven hole stretch of one under par! Not bad for a 15 handicapper . Mark has me more motivated than ever to reach my full potential and I am thrilled to be working with him.’ -O.C.C. Member
