Todd Smith
Personal Teaching Philosophy Statement

I am dedicated to offering an enjoyable social and educational golfing experience to every participating player.  The greatest gift that an instructor can pass on to a student is a better understanding of their game.  My purpose is to provide golfers of all skill levels with a comprehensive plan that will help them to achieve their golfing goals. 

I will incorporate golf etiquette, rules of golf, playing strategies, physiological preparation, psychological preparation, ball striking, finesse game, short game and putting fundamentals into my instruction.

The student will always demonstrate improved skills and understand how to transfer learned abilities into their on course game.  The student will see it, feel it and trust it!

Yours in quality golf,

Todd Smith
