About Jack

Learning to play golf is supposed to be FUN! If you want to learn the basics about golf without the high cost of private lessons, reach out. I work primarily with beginners and intermediate players. If you are new to the game or need someone to show you where your stance, grip and swing positions problems are, we need to talk! Short game and putting issues?? We can work through those too. Please look at my reviews.

I have 2 golden rules. Rule 1 - Have fun. Golf is hard. If you are not enjoying the process of learning, go play pickleball or go shopping. Rule 2 - No one else cares. If you really stink, there are 10 other people trying to learn who are worse than you. If you hit it like Tiger, so what. No one cares, unless you play bad golf slowly, then everyone cares!

I was taught by a well respected teacher and I've had the opportunity to pick the brains of a few tour pros. I have extensive knowledge of the golf swing, fundamentals that you have to get right and drills that can help you improve. You will get better!

My playing career includes quite a few accomplishments. One is something that very few in the game have. My playing partner for 12 years and I have an albatross (a 2 on a par 5) on the same hole at our club on Long Island, NY. I've won a tournament on a PGA course.

I'm located in lovely little Venice Florida now. If you think I can help you get started, reach out. My fees are very inexpensive.

Watching people hit a shot well and seeing the look on their faces.......that a-ha moment! That's so rewarding. I'll never get rich teaching and coaching, but I'll be happy and fulfilled working with you to get better!

My club in NY was a semi-private club that attracted many beginners or intermediate players. The head pro found that he didn't have time for and his fees were mostly too expensive for the newbie golfer. I offered to help start these students with basic instructions. I found teaching and coaching to be very enjoyable.

I've been a tournament player for years in NY before my move to Florida. I have won on a PGA course on Long Island. You will improve. I promise you that.

About the lesson

Beginners should have the right expectations. Learning the proper stance, grip and motion is a foundation of starting to learn how to play. I will teach you drills that you can practice at home that will help you get better. Raising your level of competence is my goal. I'll teach you all aspects of golf. Swing, chipping, putting and the mental side.

I have 2 basic rules that are non negotiable. Rule 1 - HAVE FUN! Golf is hard. If you're not enjoying the process, go play pickleball or something. Rule 2 - Nobody cares. If you shoot a course record, ESPN will not be waiting for you when you're done. If you suck but your moving along and enjoying your time, you're good!

My prize student was a young man that wanted to learn the game and had a passion for it. We worked frequently and he took to all the drills and help. He became captain of his high school golf team and is now playing in college, he's outstanding! I'm so proud of him. I've worked with people needing a refresher course. Bad habits have destroyed their game.

Have real expectations and do the drills and the practice. Golf is a hard game to get good at. If you are a casual player, accept the good with the bad. If you aspire to be great, put in the work.

We have all struggled through difficult stretches playing golf. I was really struggling with my wedge and short game play. I tried to move the ball, open my stance more, soften my hands etc. etc. When I saw myself on a video clip the problem was obvious! My hands had gotten too high and caused the swing to be too steep. I worked with lowering my hands and boom....target practice! You can't see the problem without another set of trained eyes!

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
They should have clear goals and talk about how to achieve them. The goals should be real and coincide with their current ability and where they want to get to.

Perfect! I went into this with absolutely no golf experience whatsoever. Jack was so encouraging, patient and kind whether my shots were good or bad. He worked hard at designing instruction and advice in simple terms that I could understand and geared toward my weaknesses. It was a pleasure working with him and he comes with my highest respect and regards.

Jack is a great instructor and focuses on what I need to improve my swing. After only 3 lessons I played in a golf scramble with son guys in my community and actually contributed to our team. I’m excited to see improvement after each lesson. I highly recommend Jack for anyone that wants to improve their game or looking to start playing golf…
