Philosophy Frank will take the complexity away from learning. The number one issue golf instructors hear from students is “I would like to be more consistent”. Franks has a simple philosophy, “The Basic Four Golf Group”, grip, posture, alignment, and balance. These four fundamentals are essential for making a good athletic move. The position that we have at set-up will tell us what we can and cannot do in the golf swing. Frank feels that every golfer can start like a tour player and finish like one by correctly utilizing “The Basic Four Golf Groups”.
Bio Frank has been a PGA Member since 1997, his golf career started in 1990 at the Hickory Ridge Golf club in Ameherst, MA. Frank moved to the Valley of the Sun in 1993, he started as an Assistant Golf Professional. He later attained the Head Golf Professional position at The Foothills Golf Club . However, Frank soon realized that his true passion was teaching. Frank went to work for Scott Sackett (Top 100 Instructors Golf Magazine) and Resort Golf School at Legend Trail. While under the tutelage of Scott Sackett, Frank received a great understanding of cause and effect as it relates to the golf swing , along with superior insight into all aspects of teaching the game of golf. Frank has been featured in the Golf Tips Magazine in September 2007, April, May, July and August 2008, Arizona Golfer Magazine September 2001 and on NBC 12 and ABC 15 weekly golf tip segments.
Frank has worked with all types of players from beginners to the much accomplished player. In addition to teaching Frank has become an accomplished player himself, qualifying for the 2008 National Club Professional, an alternate in the 2005 Tucson Open, top 20 2004, top 30 2006 Arizona Open, and multiple winner in the Southwest PGA Section events. |

Philosophy Carl’s teaching philosophy begins with listening to his students to determine their capabilities and goals. He then starts by building a solid foundation for the swing by using the basics of the P.G.A. – Posture, Grip & Alignment. Carl will then work with his student and teach him the cause and effects of the movements within the swing and enable his student to get more enjoyment out of the game.
Bio Carl joined the We-Ko-Pa professional staff in March of 2011 after working at two highly regarded private clubs in North Scottsdale for 10 years. Originally from Naperville, IL, he currently lives in Phoenix with his wife and two children. Carl was elected to membership of the PGA of America in November of 2004. He enjoys teaching individuals with different abilities and looks forward to helping you improve your golf game. |

Philosophy The Golf Swing is an athletic movement, designed to put the ball in the target area and record the lowest possible score. There is no such thing as a PERFECT swing. Therefore, the instruction will be given on an individual basis. Consideration will be taken for each student’s unique physical strengths and weaknesses, such as flexibility. This personalized instruction will help all students learn THEIR golf swing, and ultimately become their own coach.
Bio Kris Hartman is a Member of the Canadian PGA, and a graduate of the Professional Golf Management Program. While playing collegiate golf in Vancouver BC, his desires to excel led him to warmer temperatures in Palm Springs CA. After spending two seasons at The Quarry in La Quinta, and the past five at the Big Horn Golf Club in Palm Desert, Kris is excited to be a part of the We-Ko-Pa Professional Staff. |

Philosophy My philosophy is to first listen to my students. Secondly, I will create a level of trust and comfort with my students. I believe in creating an understanding for the game that will enable them to reach their goals and have an enjoyable round of golf.
Bio For the past ten years I have been teaching golf to players of all abilities from beginners to low handicappers. Born in Hastings, MN, I began teaching at Hastings Country Club and some of the finer private clubs in the area. In the late 90’s my career moved to Arizona as I instructed for the Arizona Golf Resort in Mesa. Since 2001 I have had the pleasure of working at the beautiful We-Ko-Pa Golf Club. Also I am currently involved with Impact Golf, a golf school specializing in corporate outings at some of the finest resorts in the world.
Approach First I believe a good golf swing is born when a perfect set-up is achieved. There is a correct grip, posture, alignment, ball position, tension level, and mind set a student must master. Second, finding a correct swing plane to compliment the set-up we found for the student is important. I feel this can only be worked on once we find the six set-up fundamentals. |

Philosophy The golf swing depends on establishing a proper setup. Once the proper setup is established, an easily repeatable swing can be built. A simple, repeatable swing is the key to consistency and lower scores in golf. Every golfer and every swing is unique, therefore, the swing must be built to fit the individual and their abilities. The personal instruction will help the golfer better understand their swing and it’s mechanics. A true understanding of one’s swing will lead to improved results and will enable the golfer to achieve their desired goals.
Bio David began his career as an instructor in 2000, in his hometown of West Bend, Wisconsin. Early on, he specialized in working with juniors, while developing the junior golf program at West Bend Lakes Golf Club. He quickly began to work with golfers of all skill levels. He worked at the golf course during the summer months, while attending college to pursue a degree in recreation management at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. Soon after graduation, David realized his true passion was golf. His passion led him to take the position of 1st Assistant Golf Professional at The Golf Club at Chaparral Pines in Payson, Arizona. After 2 years in Payson, he found his new home at We-Ko-Pa Golf Club, where he is excited to further expand his teaching career. |
