Teaching Philosophy

Mike's teaching centers on five main points which are:  Grip, Posture, Aim-Alignment, Pivot-Rotation, and Hinges.  All aspects of his instruction evolve around these five elements.  He explains what a true plane in the golf swing means.  He shows the student how posture, the pivot and correct usage of hinges are related to getting the club shaft and club face on the proper plane.  A player must understand the short game, putting, chipping, pitching, and bunker shots.  He teaches  course management, the need to have properly fitted equipment, and how to deal with the mental aspects of the game of golf.

Students of note include Jodie Mudd, Grant Waite, Frank Nobilo of the PGA Tour and Hiromi Kobayashi of the LPGA Tour.

Mike has also has been a Guest on the Golf Channel's Golf Academy Live Show televised from Orlando, Florida.
