PHILOSOPHY
Synergy Golf is about teaching you to swing like the best version you. The eccentricities, the flaws, the talents, the quirks, and the little bit of crazy we all have is what makes us human. That's what makes us great. It's also what makes life so damn fun. At Synergy Golf, we embrace that mess of individuality, and we use it to find the swing that is the perfect synergy of your mind, body, and soul.
Synergy Golf is a multi-faceted approach to golf improvement. We offer swing instruction, fitness training, club fitting, and performance coaching. What sets us apart is our close partnership with Synergy Health. By joining forces with the healthcare professionals of Synergy Health, we are able to improve your game in ways that would not be possible otherwise.
Synergy Health is an integrated medical center that offers a wide array of services that include chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage, joint injections, trigger point injections, acupuncture, laser treatments, CBD products and so much more. The goal of Synergy Health and Synergy Golf is to help everyone improve their movement, because we know that if we can improve your movement, we can improve your game.
Some people want to break 100 for the first time, others aspire to win on the PGA Tour, while others simply want the ability to play golf without pain. The powerful combination of Synergy Health and Synergy Golf helps all those people and everyone in between.
EXPERTS
I grew up in Aurora, IL where I learned to play the game by marching around the course with anyone who would play with me. A lot of the time, I circled the course alone while listening to Cubs games between shots and dreaming of winning the Masters and the US Open. My senior year at West Aurora High School, I earned All- American honors. With those dreams of Tour stardom floating in my brain, I headed to the West Coast where I played for Santa Clara University. I was captain of the Bronco golf team and was also named an Academic All-American my junior and senior seasons. After graduation, I put over 160,000 miles on a Toyota minivan that sometimes doubled as a hotel room while playing professional golf tournaments on the Canadian Tour, the Hooters Tour, and a bunch of other Tours that aren't the PGA Tour. I didn't win as often as I did in High School or College. I set some course records, but I also missed a lot of cuts. I made it through a couple stages of Q-School, but I never made the big show. That was my lifelong dream. I got close, but it didn't happen. What did happen was a deeper understanding of the causes of success and failure.
My new goal is to use those experiences to help people play the best golf of their lives. Well actually, that's my secondary goal. The main goal is to help people enjoy the game like never before. It doesn't matter to me whether you're a tour pro or a beginner. The goal is the same. Find your best swing. Play your best golf. And most importantly, enjoy the ride.
