I have dedicated my career to researching best game improvement strategies to help all golfers practice more efficiently for faster results. Golf was labeled “the worst practiced sport in the world” by Golf Science Lab in 2016. Most golfers struggle to improve no matter how many lessons they take. We are here to change that. Don’t just play golf, understand golf!
