Doug Kercher

I have been a member of the PGA for 20 years. My teaching is based on building a swing with 3 simple moves that are easy to repeat and will also improve your chipping, punching and pitching as well as your full swing. The three moves work because they fit in exactly with how the golf club works and how it is designed to swing easily to produce accuracy and power. I am a keen reader and researcher of golf books and have an extensive library that has helped me with my teaching model. I am happy to check out your swing in the shop if you want to see how I can help you reach your golf potential.
