Teaching Philosophy
Ernie works with all players and all skill levels. Ernie’s philosophy is simple: immediate improvements without major setbacks. You’ll be playing more consistently day in and day out as well as experiencing less injuries overall. His belief is to use the larger muscle groups of the lower body rather than the small muscles of the upper body which will improve every area of your game from a small chip to the driver.
