About
After a 9 year successful playing career on the PGA Tour, European Tour and Korn Ferry, my passion turned to instruction and coaching golfers of all ages and abilities to improve, develop, and understand the game! My students will work hard on the necessary swing improvements and drills, but the process will be fun...whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or a skilled player! My goal is to analyze and asses your ball flight tendencies.
I use swing video analysis and the necessary training aids to help with this. Once we have a developed a total game improvement plan, you will be instructed and coached using the necessary training aids, visual feedback, and drills for ‘your’ individual requirements! The published fee $100 includes balls, video analysis, launch monitor (FULLSWING) required training aids, balls after the lesson and a practice game plan. Offering Fall and winter specials currently for ‘New Students’!
Our hard work will pay off and it will be FUN!
I GUARANTEE SUCCESS!

We had our first session with Richie as newcomers and left being able to hit the ball straight for the first time. He gave both of us instructions on what to focus on, and we’re already signed up for the next two lessons.

Richie’s approach to coaching is highly individualized and personal. He takes the time to analyze each player’s strengths and weaknesses and teaches from the ground up, focusing on building a strong foundation of fundamentals. His coaching has significantly improved our game.
