Leo’s philosophy is that the game of golf can be played by anyone who has the time and patience to gather core information.

Utilizing a cadre of training aids and practice drills, Leo’s approach is to work with you on both the physical and mental side of golf while preparing you to manage the course.

Many of his junior golfers are accomplished tournament and/or team players with several championships among them.

Leo’s Focus

Helping the competitive player take their game to the next level is where Leo applies his expertise. Whether it’s the adult player wanting to standout in their regular foursome, or the junior player wanting to move up the ranks in their school team or slice some strokes off their tournament scores, Leo shows you how to do it. His methodology is based on achieving the proper grip, posture and alignment, as related to the shape of the golf club, standing on the inside of the target line while applying the correct balance and timing.

Leo believes that his role is to make the game easier for you so that you absorb the concepts of golf. While there are many different ways to do that, his approach is to find that one unique swing that is right for you. He helps you relax and makes sure you know that golf is a game. All you need to do is spend a little time practicing the drills he teaches, and you will improve!
