About me

 

I am fascinated with the science and the psychology of sports, particularly golf.  After joining the LPGA Teaching Division (now Teaching & Club Professional Division) in 1981, I specialized in golf instruction. I enrolled in a graduate program at Temple University in Philadelphia in 1986 and received a masters degree in Biomechanics & Kinesiology in 1988. My thesis was on fitting golf equipment to professional basketball and football players (having worked with players from the 76ers and Eagles).

Shortly thereafter I learned about the first dynamic golf fitting system – Henry Griffitts. I became a Master Clubfitter & contributed to their clubfitting manual. I also trained golf professionals in Australia and Singapore to dynamically fit golf clubs.

I had a career change in 1993, adding another masters degree to my résumé, this one in Clinical Social Work. I opened a private practice in 1996, specializing in working with couples.  

I closed the practice in 2014, traveled the country in a motorhome for a year, and realized how very much I missed teaching golf. The LPGA has reinstated my membership, and I am both excited and content to be teaching golf again.

 

But – enough about me.  How about you? 

What are you looking for in your golf? 
  • Lower scores? 
  • More consistent contact? 
  • Greater distance? 
  • Massive enjoyment?  (I hope this is on your list!)
 
Let’s work together to refine & accomplish your vision.

 

About Betsy

What some happy students say:  

I met Betsy last year playing tennis. She told me she used to be a golf instructor so I asked if she could help me with my swing. I have never been able to get much distance. Betsy was able to analyze my swing quickly and effectively, giving me easy to make adjustments without having to change my entire swing.  She was able to provide instruction cues that were easy for me to put into action and easy to retain over time. Her method of teaching and communicating is very clear and simple. I highly recommend her.
