I attended the
certification course at Port St. Lucie, Florida, earlier this
year and passed the test to be certified at Level III. Bob Wyatt
was our instructor and we all learned a lot from him.
I received my
Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Florida in 1971, and
spent 35 years doing mathematical programming for the Census
Bureau and the Department of Agriculture. I retired in 2007.
My wife Suzanne
and I have been married 36 years. We have two children and two
grandchildren.
I have played
golf for almost 50 years. Over the years, I have developed
simple techniques to help me improve my golf game, and I would
like to teach golf so I can share my understanding of the game
with others. I can honestly say that I now enjoy golf more than
ever.
From what I can
tell, many teachers are skilled at identifying swing flaws in
other golfers, but they do not understand why the players have
developed those flaws in the first place. In most cases, I have
been able to uncover the reason why the swing flaws occur, and I
have figured out very simple ways to correct them. I believe my
teaching ideas will make it easier for some golfers to improve.
My goal is to
increase my understanding of the game of golf, to improve my
skill at finding ways to help my fellow golfers, and learning
how to communicate my ideas to others.
I know this is
going to be very difficult. What the heck – if I was afraid of a
difficult task, I would never have played golf in the first
place!
