Bill's personal teaching philosophy is to take the strengths of each person's swing and mold them into a repeating and natural motion. Bill believes that there is no such thing as "The Swing," however there is a "BEST" swing that will work for each individual. By developing the golf fundamentals, each student will find their best golf swing. This swing will produce a consistent ball flight. Bill's commitment to his students is to assist them in maximizing their enjoyment of the great game of golf!
