Lori has been playing golf for over 23 years. She grew up playing the game in Edmonton, Alberta
and represented Alberta 4 times at the national level. Her mom and dad were the ones who got
her started and who kept her going when things
got tough.

A young starter in the golf business, 2008 marks Lori's 22nd year working at a golf course - the
last 8 years have been as a CPGA Teaching Professional.

Lori truly loves to teach and this joy comes across
in her teaching style that is easily understood by golfers of all levels.

Lori's Teaching Philosophy

Lori believes that with all the different body types, her teaching style has to change with each individual.

Lori feels that most golfers don't understand how the golf swing works because the information they have been given has been incorrect or too technical. Her approach to teaching is very simple and easy to understand with all areas of the game.

Lori's philosophy is based on keeping the focus on the most important thing, which is the golf club. From there the body will do what it needs to do instead of trying to do what your body is not capable of doing.

When we put all of this together we will have a better understanding of how the club works and that will make it much easier on the body and will also make the game less work and more enjoyable.
