At Westlake G C, our biggest asset is our customers. Come join us and discover: Tradition, integrity and honesty not only survive, but thrive at WGC.

I teach all ages and offer private and group lessons. I am the Director of Westlake Junior Golf Academy. Also, I am honored to serve as Co Director of the Westlake Junior Golf Summer Program, with Chrissy Vatcher.

My sincere thanks to the thousands of juniors who have kept me young through the years. It’s been a blast. I owe you one. If you need a swing tune up, the first one is on me. Or drop me a line and let me know how your life is shaping up.
