My teaching style is a little 'old school.' I believe in keeping instruction simple, and easy to understand. If a student doesn't improve after one of our lessons, it's my fault, not theirs. Fortunately, that rarely happens. Probably the greatest satisfaction I receive teaching, is watching golfers who are confused about the swing, their putting, their chipping, or their driving realize the simplicity of how a swing works. Then, hitting the ball better during their first lesson. To know that I've helped someone stick with this wonderful 600-year-old game instead of giving up - that's my motivation and my joy!

Do You Have Any Questions?

Can I book a trial lesson with you?

Most people purchase a minimum of 6 hours to start so I have enough time to look at your game and make a few quick fixes or develop a plan based on your goals. If for some reason you aren’t happy, PlayYourCourse can switch you to a different coach. If they can’t find a coach you like, they will refund you the remaining lessons. But if you would still like a trial lesson you can call 301.500.2516 to set one up.

How can I contact you?

Once you have booked your lesson package, you will immediately receive my contact information. If I don't hear from you, I will call you to finalize your lesson details. You will also receive an email with all of my contact information after you book.

Can you teach more than one person at a time?

Yes, I offer semiprivate lessons for up to five students at once. Each additional player is only an extra $40.00 per hour.

Do you offer group lessons?

Not at this time, but private lessons are a great way to learn the basics so you can develop the proper technique and excel faster. However, you can always bring your friends! Each additional student is only $40.00 extra.

When can I start?

As soon as you’d like!

What if it rains?

If it rains we'll reschedule for a sunny day! It won’t be counted as one of your lesson credits.

How do I schedule and pay for my lesson?

You can book directly through the website or feel free to call at 301.500.2516.

"So far I have gone from at least eight to ten 3-putt holes, down to two to three for 18 holes. Mike gives you the techniques you need to help your short game. I am excited to both practice and play because my score is dropping. Mike is an excellent teacher of the game and I would like to thank him for helping me!!"

"Just wanted to give you some feedback about the lesson you gave me!!!!! You found my problem in about 3 swings---gave me a simple drill to correct my problem----and within a few minutes started hitting the ball much straighter!!!! I now include this in my pre-swing routine and am now hitting many more fairways and greens in regulation. You have a great eye for finding swing flaws, and can give excellent corrective instruction. I really like your ability to find a problem, give advice and instruction on how to correct the problem and not have to change a person's entire swing to do it !!!!! Great Coach !!!!!!"

"I played 18 holes of golf Sunday with the intent to focus on what you taught. Normally I average 8-3 putts per game. Sunday I had a total of 31 putts. One three putt and 6 one putts for the 18 holes. I have to say my score dropped."

— Phil B

"Its been amazing since our lesson. First week was rough getting used to the grip change and really loose swing, but then things started clicking. I played in a scramble this past Saturday and my team won! First scramble I've won. I took the proper grip and relaxing techniques you taught me and started working with the driver and I hit 2 drives over 300! Up until that I've only hit 1 drive over 300. I was averaging 265 on all my drives. Since you've taught me the proper grip I now can hit all my clubs, my 3-wood and my hybrids, it's amazing what I was missing these 3 years since I started playing. Thank you for all your help, I have been recommending my friends to you to improve their golf game."

"Before our lessons, I really hadn't played much golf and had certainly never parred a hole during golf games. After about 4 lessons, I parred, not one but three holes! I am so glad I took lessons with you. You have a unique skill to teach not only What needs to be done to learn the sport, but also the How and Why. That has made an incredible difference in allowing my thoughts to align with the kinetic motion of the golf swing. Thank you!"
