Approach
Charles’ unique and effective approach to his craft combines effort/shape movement analysis, individually tailored training, conditioning, swing and game development programs.
We utilize FORESIGHT SPORTS QuadMax® technology.
His approach to patterning the golf swing, and a reliable routine, through rigorous training, from putting to driving, allows the player to abandon complex and distracting thoughts while developing competition/tour ready mindset and confidence.
Charles works on all aspects of the game and with golfers of all skill levels. His sessions are based on clear instruction in the unique language of the individual player.
His highly refined physical patterning and conditioning drills are based on the individuals learning style. This approach efficiently engrains the desired technical elements into ‘swing feel’ – as opposed to swing ‘thoughts’ which can be good for practice but extremely detrimental for effective play.
His comprehensive approach to instruction and player development begins with an assessment of the players unique goals and technical requirements, and then creates and implements a program that produces maximum results in a minimum amount of time.

“He has an eye for efficient body motion that is second to none and he has an equally keen sense of how the mind ‘moves’. This is invaluable when working with tour players and competitive athletes who perform at the highest levels. It is a unique combination of teaching skills which few possess.” Rob N.

“When I think about working with Charles a lot of things come to mind but what tops my list is heart. Of course, Charles is one of the best in the world in physical training and golf swing training, but what I remember the most is heart. Charles not only got my body to a new physical level he changed my heart, my mind, and my focus. He taught me something I had never learned in my life. He showed me how to be a winner and what it takes to become a champion. To teach someone the skills of mental focus, integrity, determination, and fire takes something special. Charles has that something special. Training with Charles was not only about physical training it was also about completing the package and using my mind. I don’t know how he does it but he does! After 2 months of training with Charles I feel that I transitioned as a person and an athlete. Charles holds himself up to the same standard that he expects of his students and that is one of the reasons he is such a great teacher and swing coach.” Zac A.
