Teaching Philosophy
Chad believes pre-swing fundamentals are the foundation for successful golf. Many swing errors are the direct result of improper pre-swing fundamentals. With proper fundamentals (grip, posture, ball position, aim, mind-set and tension level) a student will have more consistent results. Chad has no single method of teaching the golf swing. Each student is an individual, and has differing abilities to learn and improve.
Chad establishes a perfect set-up position and then works around the body type to create the ideal swing-shape. Chad’s instruction is based on cause and effect. Most golfers have one core flaw in their swing and the majority of the other “mistakes” are simply effects from this flaw. When this core flaw is fixed all of the other “mistakes” will be minimized.
Chad believes that golf is a unique sport because you practice and play on different “fields”, unlike most sports you practice and play on the same “field”, therefore many golfers struggle to take their “good swing” from the range to the golf course. Due to Chad’s vast experience competing professionally and from working with hundreds of students, Chad believes strongly in educating his students on good course management and teaches you how to transfer what you have learned on the practice range and effectively apply it on the golf course.

JC Video Analysis
Instruction through the use of slow-motion video playback you can see for yourself the subtle swing flaws that are causing your hooks, pulls and slices!
Video analysis is a key element in any lesson and allows you to see the breakdown of your swing frame-by-frame, which allows you to better understand and correct your flaws.
The video captures, compares and analyzes your swing with a comprehensive set of drawing tools then saves the video clip to a database driven program, which allows Chad to monitor the ongoing progress of your swing. In addition, this software is able to do a comparison of your swing with some of golf’s greatest players.
