Mike B.

With over 25 years of experience as a golf instructor, my teaching approach has proven highly effective with golfers of all ages and skill levels from beginners and juniors to accomplished amateurs and seniors. I have lectured on golf, been on numerous radio and tv shows, and have been published in top golf periodicals as well as having written a book for beginners. I work with tour pros and I work with pure beginners and also with physically challenged players.

Playing career highlights: Optimist Junior World 2-time champion. High School Individual Valley Champion and State 2nd & 5th place. Played Professional Golf for several years on various tours including twice winning the #1 spot on The Golden State Tour money list. I also had several wins on what was then the Hogan Tour and later the Nike Tour. I have qualified twice to play on the PGA Tour each time in The Los Angeles Open with a 15th place finish and the other a missed cut.
In 1996 I was a finalist in the Dave Pelz / Compaq World Putting Championship on ESPN.

The belief that the physical, technical, mental, emotional, social and spirit of the game elements of golf must come together in balance is at the very heart of the my coaching focus that has profoundly changed the game for so many players. This highly effective and successful learning approach is underpinned by my core beliefs that:

Each individual has unlimited human potential.
Every golfer has his or her unique fingerprint of a golf swing.
Golf performance is about getting the ball in the hole in as few strokes as possible.
Playing the game should be both fulfilling and fun.
I know that traditional golf instruction alone can make the game overly complicated for many golfers – often becoming the very obstacle to the remedy it proposes to deliver. By embracing the unique and unlimited potential of each individual player, and by applying integrated coaching principles, this unique learning experience has produced enduring results for tour professionals, competitive amateurs, recreational golfers, teaching professionals, and coaches alike.
