Andrew is the Director of Instruction at Wabeek Country Club in Bloomfield Hills, MI. He works with players of all ages and ability levels. Lessons are offered in person at Wabeek CC as well as online via the Skillest app.

Andrew’s teaching is built on the student understanding why the ball does what it does, not just prescribing quick fixes. Every swing flaw has a root cause, and lasting improvement only happens when that cause is identified and addressed.

There are 3 major things you need to control to play better golf. FACE ANGLE, CLUB PATH, and LOW POINT. Andrew’s approach to teaching is to help the student first understand the cause/effects of their swing. With the use of video analysis, he will explain what these are and the steps needed to correct them. Students will leave each lesson knowing exactly what they need to work on and why.

    —Dustin K.

  • Best instructor I've ever worked with. Andrew can explain as well as demonstrate the proper technique for a golf swing. Most importantly for me, Andrew is able to impart the proper "feel" of a proper swing. I struggled for years with early extension and "flipping." Andrew fixed those issues and more over a single winter.

    David C.

He is able to show you exactly where improvements can be made to your swing via slow motion video. I highly recommend Andrew as a golf instructor to anyone looking to improve their game.
