      The Greatest Strikers of a Golf Ball Understood Some Very Basic Principles

      Golf is first a game of accuracy. We show students how to harness the power of their clubs with advantageous lie angles, removing offset, and working into firmer shafts for control. Golf is a game played with woods and irons. We embrace the great game of golf and the clubs used to execute it.

      Understanding the Game You're Playing

      We educate all golfers about the three parallel existing games.

      History has presented three distinct versions of golf:

      1. Hickory Golf

      2. Classic Golf

      3. Super Golf

      Learn more about the game you love and enjoy it.

      Welcome to ABS!

      A home for golf purists

      I feel blessed to have played and won on tour during the classic or persimmon era of the game. Having the opportunity to compete directly against some of the greatest players in the world, was for me, the best way to learn the game. Real on the job training. I have taken my skills and knowledge of the game and packaged them into "bite size chunks" that students can methodically integrate into their own game. We work hard and get results as the road to improvement presents itself.

      For those who desire to improve their technique

      The ABS Module program has been helping high, mid, low and professional players reach their potential for over 10 years. The ABS Modules build the swing through a training program of idealistic intentions that logically stack up upon one another and improve a player's golf swing while allowing for each person's individual expression. Students improves at their own pace and are methodically guided by either myself or a fellow Master ABS Instructor.

    • Understand the Tools of Your Trade

      The greatest ballstrikers used the finest gear to do it. Learn to understand what you really need out of a golf club. Everything is important from the grip to the clubhead, from the shaft to the lie angle. Find out if upright and offset irons are hurting your game. Your clubs are the tools of your trade and they should be providing you the best on every swing. Never compromise your potential with anything less that a proper set up of your golf clubs. We show you directly how many of the greats set up their gear and why. Our professional staff can do the same for you!
