I've played golf since I was a little kid, in the days when every hole was an exciting adventure. But the relentless pursuit of perfection and emotional demands of competition on the LPGA Tour destroyed my love for the game.

I left the Tour in late 1989, swearing to never touch a golf club again. But the game was in my blood and in 1991 I turned to teaching. Before long, I began to experience the same frustrations as a teacher that I felt as a player.

Weary of this love/hate cycle, I became determined to regain the spirit of adventure of my childhood. An intense period of soul searching led to just that. Now, my quest is to help others avoid the physical and emotional traps into which I frequently fell.

Golf swing The Positive Strokes Workshop is the culmination of all I have learned about creating a game that is satisfying and fun. It has become my passion and the foundation of my work. It brings me great joy to help alleviate golfer's frustrations, and replace them with an ability to create the game of their dreams.
