What or who has had the greatest impact on your career<br />
Growing up in South Florida I had a chance to work for a pro by the<br />

me the way.

curve is similar to golf.<br />
If you could play any golf course in the world, which one would<br />
it be and who would complete your foursome<br />
I would say St. Andrews. In their prime, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson,<br />
Lee Trevino. I grew up watching them and think they really set the<br />
standards for today’s competition.<br />
If you could give lessons to anyone in the world who would it<br />
be and what advice would you give<br />
Donald Trump. After watching his swing I would tell him “You’re<br />
Fired”. This is a tough one. Any advice would be based on the<br />
person’s short term and long term goals.<br />
What is your favorite golf instruction tip<br />
Swing hard in case you hit it. Just kidding. For greenside bunker play<br />
– to hit a shot a certain distance relating it to how far you splash the<br />
sand with your forward swing.<br />
