I've attended seminars by John Jacobs, Butch Harmon, Jim McLean, Paul Runyan and more. Before that I was on the B.C.

My favourite golf experience was playing Riviera Golf and Country Club in Los Angeles with Jockey Bill Shoemaker and listening to race track stories afterwards.

I've been teaching at Cedar Hill Golf Course and now looking forward to helping new and regular students at Island View.

Quick Golf Tip: Speed up your backswing to ensure you get speed and tempo you need on your downswing.

Favourite Golf Moment: It was a beautiful sunny day at Uplands Golf Course and I was playing with a bunch of my friends. We were playing from the back tee on hole 7, and I landed my drive right down the middle. My second shot with a Hybrid I miss hit slightly and ended having 60yrds left to the pin. I pulled out my trusty 60 degree wedge. I had a perfect lie and there was no wind. I hit the ball cleanly, the ball headed straight to the flag, and went in the cup, no bounce, for eagle!
