Coach Rick

Did you know about 85% of golfers never take a lesson? Many students are pleasantly surprised at their improvement with just one lesson. I am a PGA Associate and a certified teaching professional who has studied under Jim Hardy and Chris O’Connell (top 100 Teachers). I have 10+ years teaching and recently taught Juniors ages 6-16 at the Bruce Sims Golf School in Allen, Texas. I coach to help you understand the dynamics of the game, your swing tendencies, and to understand how the ball flight provides the keys to making successful changes. Everyone is uniquely gifted to learn golf. I help you define your goals and establish a plan. We discuss your background, the strengths, and weaknesses of your game, and agree on those opportunities to improve. You may only need “one fix” to cure that slice, or you’re a beginner and want to see what the game is all about. You may want to “overhaul” your game to finally break 90 – awesome. Beyond lessons, we can invest time on the golf course or with a club fitting, as we measure your skill development and track progress towards your goals. We will work together on how to practice effectively, in ways to allow you to take your range “game” to the course and focus your mental skills with a pre-shot routine. Critical to your success is developing an agreed upon plan and keeping a sense of humor. Let’s not forget, it is a game which is meant to be enjoyed…. :>) Hope to see you soon!
