It is difficult to relay just how instrumental Rich Marik was for my golf career. I met Rich when I was 13 and worked with him until I was 22, and he made me immeasurably better.

What’s unique about Rich is his creative approach to working on the mental side of golf, combined with his unbeatable knowledge of the game in general. As a kid who was often very in my own head (and my own way), he helped me become more present and focused. His style of teaching was both passionate and patient, two qualities that are so important with golf. He dramatically improved the fundamentals of my swing, my short game, and the way I approached course strategy. To this day when I try to visualize something, I think of Rich.

He was also just a joy to work with. He made golf fun and feel more creative.
