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!<\/p>\n<p>But most important will be having fun while you improve and perhaps teach me something new too!<\/p>\n\t<h4>My philosophy for teaching is as follows:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Golf instruction should be fun, logical and simple.<\/li>\n<li>Every golfer is an individual who has his\/her natural athletic ability.<\/li>\n<li>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!<\/li>\n<li>It will be easier to learn a new position or a new technique, if you feel it.<\/li>\n<li>Master the basics.<\/li>\n<li>Good Course Management to achieve a low score.<\/li>\n<li>Sport psychology and self confident are vital<\/li>\n<li>Fast results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>\n\t\t&#8221; The music plays on the course! &#8221;\n\t<\/h4>\n<h2>\n\t\tGGA \n\t\tActivities\n\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\t\n<h4>\n\t\tGGA will provide you with the following activities, to assist in enhancing your golfing experience:\n\t<\/h4>\n<h4>\n\t\tThrough www.gga.golf you will find:\n\t<\/h4>\n<h3>\n\t\tAt GGA we are here to assist you make your golfing experience unique.
