Almost every little boy, during childhood, sets their dreams on being a professional sports player of some kind. Tyler’s sports of choice until high school were football and baseball. He never gave a whole lot of thought to golf, besides occasionally watching his Dad play for fun. In 2004 he was invited to play in a local tournament and won! Winning a tournament is very impressive for anyone, but someone with little training, now that’s super impressive! High school level golf and baseball seasons run during the same time of year, so a choice had to be made. Tyler chose golf, feeling that he would be able to advance further and possibly make it to the Pro level.

Tyler has enhanced his game by applying what feels right; this is a guy with raw and natural talent, only having had a few weeks of training in his life.

“Tyler is a great young man. I am honored to have had the opportunity to coach him. He is what any coach would want for their program, both on and off the field; he’s respectful, motivated, poised, and a great role model for others. His moving on to the next level is a great testament to his work ethic. He’s one of the greatest student athletes I’ve ever coached, he will accomplish great things and make us very proud,” says his Head Golf Coach at Richmond Hill High School, Alex Gray.” – Richmond Hill Reflections Magazine, Volume 5  Number 3

We are always told to keep our eyes on the ball when swinging but sometimes loose focus on other distraction. Keeping your eye on the ball while keeping your head still at the same time. Another thing to avoid is tucking your head into your chest during the swing. Several golfers tuck their heads in upon swinging and in turn loose control. Keeping your head in line while swinging your club and keep your nose tilted slightly up so during the swing your shoulder ends comes below your nose.
