After more than two decades of coaching, I can say my teaching philosophy has certainly evolved. Like most coaches, I have my preferences — certain movement patterns and alignments that are simply more pleasing to the eye. Aesthetically sound swings have always captured my attention and sparked my curiosity. When I look at players like Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, and Justin Rose — or go back a few generations to Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, and Sam Snead — I see clear commonalities. There are certain fundamentals that can’t be ignored: the tilts in the body, the shaft plane, the wrist conditions, and of course, grip and posture. If being a “method teacher” — teaching one specific way to swing the club — was the most effective approach, I’d gladly be one. And to a certain degree, I am. I believe in a foundation built on solid fundamentals. But over the years, I’ve learned that no two players are the same. To truly help people get better, I have to be willing to adapt and stay flexible in my thinking. Every golfer brings a unique set of challenges and natural tendencies. My job is to understand those and help them find what works — not necessarily what looks perfect. I often ask myself, “What would I do if Scottie Scheffler walked through the door?” How would I handle his unique motion, or his matchups, compared to someone else? Golf history is filled with examples of great players with unorthodox swings — Jim Furyk being one of the best. The key question for me is always: if the matchups are effective, why change them? That mindset has shaped the way I teach today at The Golf Farm. I still love the beauty of a technically sound, aesthetically pleasing golf swing. But I also understand that real progress happens when a coach can meet each player where they are — not force them into a mold. At the end of the day, my philosophy is simple: build strong fundamentals, stay curious, and always be willing to adjust. Every golfer has their own blueprint. My job is to help them discover it — and make it as efficient, powerful, and repeatable as possible.
