About
I am a PGA member with 20 years of teaching experience plus playing experience that includes a US Open and other PGA TOUR and Web.com tour events. I also helped develop the Accelerized Video system including the patented Hotlines technology. Both my experience and technology allow me to provide a clear understanding of what swing improvements would be most beneficial. This alone is difficult to find. When you add in my ability to help students make these improvements my Instruction really stand out. To further help students retain swing improvements, I have developed Accelerized practice. This type of practice is unique and makes the full experience unmatched.
For some students it is seeing the light bulb come on. For others it is successfully making a change that is difficult for them. It usually takes courage to take on improvements and there is a constant pull to give up and live with the flaw. That moment when someone knows they have broken through makes my job very rewarding.

Love the approach he takes with his students, especially for someone like me who has essentially no golf experience and hasn't attempted to swing a club in over 15 years. the technology part of the lesson was very cool.

My husband and I bought a lesson and practice package as a graduation gift for our son. After only one lesson our son knew this was going to make a big improvement in his game. I would definitely recommend Accelerized Golf to anyone looking to learn or improve.

Oswald is very easy to work with. His communication leading up to our first lesson was excellent and gave me a good feeling about how the training would go. The instruction was great, my swing has improved in just one lesson and I am looking forward to continuing with Oswald in hopes of becoming at least an OK golfer. Practice will be very important, but a good instructor makes a world of difference. Thanks

I have had a HUGE slice with my driver (and other clubs), since I started playing golf. With just one lesson from Oswald, I went to slicing to hitting my driver straight. I was unsure if my slice was fixable because my slice really is bad, but it seems as if Oswald is on the right track to fixing it. If you are having any thoughts on how to fix you're slice, whether its a mild slice or a HUGE slice like mine, go visit Oswald he will get you on track. I will be going to Oswald for more lessons and I am excited to see how much my golf game can improve. Oswald shows you on video how you are swinging and what you need to do to fix it. The video helps a lot, being able to see how you swing and then how you should swing makes a big difference.

Oswald was great! In one lesson he was able to get my club in the "money zone". By the time I left my driver shots were dead straight with no slice. He took the time to explain everything fully and left nothing out. Very happy with the progress that was made with only one lesson. Shows that there is some hope for my game.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start with an initial lesson. First, I am analyzing your current game through video from multiple angles then helping you understand what I am looking for and why it is important. The second half of the initial lesson is beginning the process of making needed improvements. For most golfers, what they are doing and what it feels like are very different. The improvement portion of the lesson revolves around finding the feel that creates the change. This often initially feels very exaggerated and clumsy but smooths out with practice.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am longstanding PGA member. I have given thousands of lessons to golfers of all ages and abilities. I also have 7 years of professional playing experience. As a co-founder of Accelerized Golf, I have designed the our certified instructors training program as well as provided training to over 40 instructors.
