I am where I am today, 13 years into my professional career on the LPGA tour, because of David Ross! We have worked together for 25 years! David is why I fell in love with the golf swing. His knowledge and ability to articulate feels is unmatched. I have listened to and have been in many lessons; David is by far the best instructor when it comes to diagnosing the issue and properly giving the feel that leads to the correction. His initials say it all – DR. He is the doctor for any golf swing.
