Tip to Amateurs: Keep your eyes still and focused when chipping and putting. We have a tendency to look at the hole instead of focusing on the ball

Most memorable lesson: Oh, this is a tough one. I’ve had so many. It’s been rewarding to work with students who understand the mechanics of the golf swing and are willing to put in the time it takes to get to the next level
