My Philosophy

Stop chasing golf's latest fads and let's dig in

After playing D1 golf and coaching for over 22 years, I have refined my instruction to give golfers access to their best game. My extensive study in biomechanics, along with the latest technology, are the tools you need to move your game to the next level.

Coach Chad has a way of explaining “feels” in the golf swing that isn’t overly complicated and that is not too technical. I also thoroughly enjoy our conversations about the mental side of golf. Where other coaches are strictly teaching the golf swing, Coach Chad has taught me how to become a more complete and competitive golfer as a whole.”

About Chad

My grandfather and father used to play golf together all of the time. I finally got to start to play at the age of 11 with other young kids at a Par 3 course. After that, I never looked back. I was hooked.

I became obsessed with improving. Through my teenage years, I had gotten decent by sheer repetition and undying passion. Then, I saw it. David Leadbetter was traveling the Tour as a Golf Coach and working diligently with Nick Faldo, a 6 time Major Winner. Soon to follow, he was working with David Frost, Nick Price, and Ernie Els. Even though Butch Harmon was a known name, Leadbetter put golf coaches on the map when he traveled with Nick Faldo. That is when I knew my career path. I was 16 years old.

I wanted to teach this great game. I played every sport growing up, but the only mentor/coach relationship that had an impact on me were golf coaches.

Improving my own golf game is still important to me. I have access to the best teachers and researchers, and I continue to invest in pursuing my education. Working with the best in the business allows me to get better every day.
