Coaching Philosophy
Christopher does not believe in quick tip lessons or chasing every new swing idea online. His coaching is built around a few simple principles:
- Explain clearly what is holding you back
- Focus on the smallest number of changes that create the biggest impact
- Use technology to measure progress
- Hold you accountable to the work needed between sessions
- Always connect swing changes to scoring and performance on the course

Christopher has invested heavily in understanding and using modern golf technology, but he uses it with discipline.

Certifications and Education
Trackman Level 2
TrackMan Level 2 certification reflects advanced expertise in interpreting ball flight, club delivery, and performance data. I use this data to identify what actually impacts your scoring and to create precise, measurable improvement plans rather than guessing or chasing swing changes that don’t translate to the course.
Hank Haney Certified
Certified under Hank Haney’s teaching philosophy, this approach emphasizes simplicity, fundamentals, and long-term improvement. My coaching focuses on building a repeatable motion that holds up under pressure, tailored to your body, your goals, and how you actually play golf.
Titleist Performance Institute (TPI)
TPI certification allows me to evaluate how your body moves and how those limitations affect your swing. By understanding mobility, stability, and strength patterns, I can design instruction that works with your body instead of against it, helping you swing more efficiently and reduce injury risk.
Boditrack Certified
BodiTrak pressure and force-plate technology measures how you use the ground during the swing. This certification allows me to analyze balance, weight shift, and force patterns so we can improve consistency, power, and control using objective data, not feel-based guesses.
K-Vest Certified
K-Vest provides detailed 3D motion capture of how your body moves throughout the swing. This certification enables me to assess sequencing, rotation, and timing so we can clean up inefficiencies and build a swing that produces speed without stress on the body.
Ongoing education with top instructors and coaches around the World
Golf instruction evolves, and so do the best coaches. I invest time each year learning from leading instructors and performance specialists worldwide, ensuring my students benefit from modern methods, proven systems, and the most current thinking in player development.
