Jim Keithley’s Teaching Philosophy

My goal is to make the game of golf enjoyable based on each students individual expectations of his or her own skills and or limitations.  Create and establish realistic goals, both short and long term.  Emphasis will be placed on the three basic pre-swing fundamentals: grip, alignment, and ball position. Without proper pre-swing mechanics the proper swing cannot be achieved.   Also placing a strong emphasis on making sure the student understands the significance of a good short game, which includes putting, chipping, pitching and sand play.
