I love having my students use notebooks to keep track of their own goals, practice habits and achievements.

Taking lessons is obviously important but it is also crucial for students to practice the materials learned in lessons on their own time. Read More

There should be enough space under their palm to hold hold a golf ball, so when they are playing with flat hands, I'll say 'golf ball' to remind them of the correct way, instead of being 'that mean old lady' type.
