BACKGROUND
Professional player and instructor
If you want to get the most from the Game of Golf, you need professional guidance. I am a Playing Professional that can help.
Having been a professional player and instructor I’ve seen it all. My job satisfaction comes from watching my students grow and play their best through proper guidance and expertise. It’s important to me not just to teach you Golf, but also build a friendship from our time together. I’ve played Golf my entire life and have lived some extraordinary moments. Being around the great players of the world, I have been afforded the privilege of forging great friendships and memories. My students include Touring Professionals, as well as current and former athletes in the NBA, NFL and MLB. Ultimately I love to share the game I know best, unlocking players natural talent and allowing them to be the best golfer possible.
Working with major Corporations, Celebrities, and a variety of Charities I have enjoyed not only bringing a fresh perspective and energy to these golf events, but adding adding to the experiences in sharing some of the stories and lessons learned. Organizing and hosting many such events, I welcome working directly with your organization as I commit myself to each individual with great enthusiasm and effort I think you will find.
Whether you’re new to golf or a Professional, junior or collegiate golfer, you will get the best instruction possible with my dedication and personal commitment. I want to build YOUR swing, using your natural abilities, and develop the confidence to play your best golf game … for life!
PHILOSOPHY
To better understand what sets my instructional methods apart from the more common practices used at courses and by course pro’s, my philosophy may help … it’s pretty simple. Rather than increasingly inundate a student with terms, techniques, and focus points, I follow a more simplistic if not natural path that keeps the mind & body a bit more in sync with the end goal and away from analysis-paralysis so common to us all.
Worry not, each success as a student’s game improves brings the need to understand & practice all of these terms, techniques, and focus points at some point – but when and as appropriate, without subjugating the end goal in the process as commonly happens. Over the years I’ve been able to develop a methodology to teach each student there own way to swing the club based on there body structure and flexibility. As you know, nobody is built the same way and we all have different restrictions in what we can do physically. So what I do is work with what the student is able to do and perfect it so that every student has their own Golf swing that is custom to them. I’m not just coaching Golfers, I’m coaching individuals.
That said, as a coach I have to adjust and correct each individual’s temperament towards the game and keep them on track to learn accordingly. By it’s very nature Golf brings our mood levels up and down, so I find it equally important to help guide students emotions during the learning process as well. As I said, proper instruction has to be about the individual cohesively in order to meet expectations, achieves end goals, and maintain the fun that makes Golf so addictive. If you had to quote me, I might say … “Everything is about patience”

Troy defined things that made me understand what was correct and what was incorrect. Now I have a better understanding of what I’m doing. I’ve improved so much and very happy with the progress! Anyone who wants to improve their golf swing and their golf game, Troy is your guy!”
