About
The theory behind Cause & Effect Golf is to identify the root cause of the problem and begin there in our instruction. At times I may need to work elsewhere in the swing to obtain a clear path to eventually work on the key thread to a students swing or playing problems. For every action there is a reaction in the swing and I pride myself on understanding that relationship of moving parts
Helping students play better golf. I take pride in my instruction.

Gregg was remarkably efficient in the way he provided instruction. His attention to detail is excellent. I already feel confident after 1 lesson. I would definitely recommend his services. He made me better understand what my current strengths were that could be immediately translated into my swing and putting

My 14 year old son was able to understand and apply what he learned without being overwhelmed. He improved after his first lesson without Gregg fitting him in a mold and working within his natural abilities. My son found him very personable, encouraging and easy to understand. We will schedule additional lessons for sure :)

Great initial lesson from Gregg! He was able to make recommendations and provide instruction that was spot on. He was not quick to judge, and provided insights I was not aware of in my golf swing!

Gregg took the time to explain what I was doing and how it was negatively affecting my golf game. He then gave me some drills to work on my mechanics and to help correct my swing and follow through. Although this is still a work in progress, I now have a much better understanding of what I was doing wrong and a practice method for working on making the adjustments necessary to improve my game.

Great first session with Gregg. He analyzed my issues/needs, didn’t confuse me with too many instructions and gave me some tips for practicing. Plan to schedule the next session around my club schedule.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
It is important to find out what they are trying to achieve with their golf game. I will carry on a dialogue for a while which helps me to understand more about my student. Many factors influence a person's golf game and the reason they are playing. After a period of time I begin to see how my students relationship to golf.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Golf is a very traditional game with new technology advances to equipment changing constantly. The equipment changes come and go. Each year there is a new craze and it important to understand what is marketing and what is true advancement to benefit the golfer. As for the swing there are few theories on how to swing the club. I read and study some of the new information to make sure my teaching is consistent with the new advances in equipment and recent swing theories. There are only so many ways to hit a golf ball and ultimately it comes down to good fundamentals and determination by the student.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I loved golf from the day I first started swinging at age 12. I love the game and I understand the frustration golfers experience. I love to help a golfer hit the ball better.....it comes natural to me to help golfers improve their game.
