The Approach
“Good fundamentals first. Then let your swing become your own.”
Joey has taught golf since 2011, working with every kind of player, from beginners and juniors to Division I athletes and fellow golf professionals. He doesn’t force one model swing on anyone. He builds sound fundamentals, then shapes them around how you move, in a relaxed, welcoming setting where every student can improve and enjoy the game.
