The Birdie Mode method
Simplify the game. Lower scores.
Know your game
Where are you actually losing strokes?
Rewire your brain
Course management, plus a deeply rooted belief in your abilities and your identity as a player.
Master shot execution
There is no one swing everyone has to achieve. A good swing produces the outcome you want, holds up under every demand of the course, and gives you confidence.
"A good coach is like a good doctor. They don't want you to need to keep coming back."

About
Player. Tournament director. Coach.
I grew up in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, earned a full scholarship to play D1 golf, transferred to Oral Roberts, made match play at the U.S. Women's Amateur, and turned professional. Then I spent years on the other side of the ropes: running junior tournaments for the AJGA and coaching as an assistant at TCU.
Today I'm a mother of four with no time to waste on the range. That's how I coach: simplify the game and lower your score.
