Dale Balvin - PGA Golf Professional - Top 50 Kids Teacher
Dale's teaching philosophy for juniors is always to keep it simple and fun. He builds a swing that can hold up under pressure. It is an athletic motion so everyone’s swing will be different. Short game is an emphasis as this is where most scoring is accomplished. Dale teaches with the use of video. This gives juniors the three human learning methods of visual, feel and audio.
