2025 On-Course Playing Assessments
If you want to lower your scores and truly enjoy your golf game, it’s time to hit the course with me and let me assess your entire game.
The most effective way to reach your golfing goals is by having your PGA Professional observe your game in real-life situations. During this on-course assessment, I’ll be able to evaluate:
How you handle pressure
How you manage your game
Areas of weakness that lead to dropped strokes

There’s no substitute for the valuable learning and insights gained from being on the course with your PGA pro. Playing alongside me in a foursome allows me to simulate the pressure and scenarios you face in your typical rounds. From there, I can provide key insights to help you improve, including:
Situational feedback and course strategy
Discussing goals for your game
Offering quick tips for improvement after the round
Most importantly, having fun!
