To create for each student a simple, natural and repeatable swing motion that coincides with each individual player's physical and psychological limitations. I teach with unique and relevant concepts of the swing along with providing encouraging feedback to help create a fun and comfortable learning environment. There are many good ideas out there about the golf swing, in fact there are too many. It can be overwhelming trying to sort through all of them. Let me help you simplify your thoughts about the swing and focus in on ideas that will truly help you make improvements to your golf swing.

  “I have taken lessons from other PGA professionals before I started taking lessons from Jacob, so I have a good base of knowledge to compare Jacob with other golf teachers. I have taken golf lessons from Jacob for several years with excellent results. He distinguishes himself from other golf teachers in three areas in particular: 1. He can teach all levels of players effectively... 2. He uses customized teaching approaches. He works with his students’ capabilities (and limitations) to develop a swing that delivers more consistent results. 3. He has outstanding interpersonal skills. Jacob is very engaging and puts people at ease. ”
