Approach
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. Charles creates highly refined physical patterning and conditioning drills based on the individuals learning style, that efficiently engrain the desired technical elements into ‘swing feel’ (as opposed to swing ‘thoughts’ which can be good for practice but extremely detrimental for play).
Charles’ pioneering work incorporating physical fitness into golf training began in 1983 at Las Colinas Sports Club in Irving Texas (now called The Nelson Golf & Sports Club), host of the Byron Nelson Golf Classic for 35 years and home of the Byron Nelson Golf School. Charles has more than 40 years of experience coaching, training and physical conditioning elite amateur and professional players. 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.
