Teaching
Ray had the good fortune of studying under Golf Professionals with extensive teaching backgrounds including Ed Oldfield Jr. who taught many LPGA Tour players including three time U.S. Open Champion Dottie Pepper. Ray’s teaching philosophy is to communicate the correct amount of information for each and every lesson so the individual can understand or improve immediately. He offers a money back guarantee. He enjoys keeping it simple when it is needed, and more in depth for the more advanced player. Ray believes the best way to learn the game is the short game first, to mid-irons, then the driving portion.
