GGA Philosophy

Greek Philosopher Socrates thinking

“I know one thing... that I know nothing”

Socrates / Achaea, 436 BC - 401 BC

Like Socrates, if there was a hidden secret to play better golf, I would have adapted it by now myself and would have become a richer player on the touring tournaments. It would be safe to say there are no magical secrets to play better golf. But everybody has a chance!

YOU definitely have YOUR CHANCES!!!

GGA Goals

It is my pleasure and goal to teach you the basic essentials in your journey to becoming a better golfer. In a simple way, I will teach you techniques such as, how to grip, set up, balance and tempo, controlling your weight, feel the club and your movements to prepare you for working with each situation, eventually making you feel how dancing with the club and the ball should be!

But most important will be having fun while you improve and perhaps teach me something new too!

My philosophy for teaching is as follows:

  • Golf instruction should be fun, logical and simple.
  • Every golfer is an individual who has his/her natural athletic ability.
  • Reshaping the swing that fits and comes more natural to the individual player is often better than a complete change in order to be a Tiger!
  • It will be easier to learn a new position or a new technique, if you feel it.
  • Master the basics.
  • Good Course Management to achieve a low score.
  • Sport psychology and self confident are vital
  • Fast results.
