I was honored to be named the 2008 Southern California PGA Metro Chapter Teacher of the Year. I was very excited to learn I had been voted the top teacher in my Chapter. The Los Angeles and Orange County area has many top teachers and to be recognized as one of them is very satisfying. When talking with the Chapter President it became apparent that my background with the mental game helped secure the award. The mental game is finally getting the recognition it deserves and the average player can benefit as much if not more than the advanced player. I will be giving a seminar on “How to Focus on the golf course” to fellow PGA professional this Wednesday November 19th. My goal is to share my experiences and expertise on the mental game with others instructors so we can all have even more success with our students. For those that have questions about the mental game please contact me.
