ABOUT STEVE

    I am a Las Vegas area Real Estate agent and former full-time golf teacher. I no longer own a training facility, but still teach when time permits.. I put a lot of time into refining the art of teaching golf. I can't count the number of teachers I've studied on my fingers and toes. When I would hear of a good teacher within reasonable distance, I would head out to watch them teach. My knowledge has come largely from watching how students handle, absorb and progress from the information they are given. The Best 9 Pages contain the highlights of my teaching knowledge. It's short, to the point and I'm told the most complete 9 pages ever written. I hope you like it.

CREATING SPACE is a set of concepts and techniques that set me apart from other top teachers. The 7 concepts I use to gain, maintain and utilize space have become my trademark. When good players come to see me for the first time, they leave with a smile from ear to ear. They leave with a new awareness of their true potential and a sense of power and control they've never felt before. Check out one of my tips for maintaining space in Golf Tips, “Shoulders and the Takeaway.”

The Best 9 Pages were surprisingly successful if measured by the number of people they have helped. I put copies on a table, free to my customers. Before I knew it, people were taking them by the handful, passing them out to friends and mailing them across the country. Many people read it over and over again. I had someone tell me he was addicted to it. My dad said it was because they like the way I think. I think it's more in the format. Think of a 250 page training manual condensed into an easy to read 9 page booklet.. I was trying to save my customers (friends) time and effort. I packed and compressed everything I could into it. I think that is why it has been so well received. Whatever the reason, I know it will continue to help many people. If you would like to know more about me or why the swing I teach is so powerful and reliable read about laser nonsense in the golf bull section.

Most golf drills are difficult. Anything you do should be simple. So simple that you have an absolute understanding of what you are doing. Don't guess or think you're doing something correct, know you are.
Consistency is a choice. If you choose to do the same things over and over again, your natural moves and reactions become consistent. I give people the same simple drills to do every practice session. Realistic drills that are easily mastered. Over time body motions and parts of the swing become precise and automatic. Only small and less critical parts of the swing are left for you to refine and perfect.

If you put 5 gallons of water on a plant all at once and 5 gallons of water on another plant a little each day over 2 months, the result would be obvious. It is exactly the same with training. The results are just as obvious. Very few people have ever had it explained to them in this way, so they never make the connection. We are living and growing. The physical and mental things we do actually grow into us over time. Any intelligent training program should be based around this fact. Try the principles in my free booklet. Make an honest effort and golf will become as easy as it looks.
