Don, a scratch golfer, is a teacher who can also play the game and compete. He "practices what he teaches". Returning to competitive golf after an absence of almost 20 years while focusing on his new Peak Performance Swing, during the 2000-2001 seasons, Don competed in 10 southern regional tournaments against the best senior pros in the Carolinas.

His record:
• 10 tournaments
• 2 wins
• 6 - 2nd place finishes
He was also one of only two South Carolina Senior Professionals to qualify for the US Senior Open in 2001.

     Don has been featured in many golf publications and was rated as one of the 50 best golf teachers in America by Golf Magazine. He has appeared on the Golf Channel, drawing record responses, on many other TV and radio interviews, newspaper articles, in Senior Golfer magazine, in the April 2001 issue of Men's Fitness Magazine, and in a recent issue of Choice Magazine, an award-winning publication of Golf Digest-Japan. He was a teaching editor for Golf Magazine. During the 90's, Don was Director of Golf Instruction at the famed Harbour Town Course on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. He is now in Greenville, SC.

     Don's exceptional reputation as a teacher comes from both his remarkable training methods and equally remarkable swing methodology, acquired through years of study with engineers, physicists, kinesiologists and an orthopedic surgeon to learn the physics and physiology of swinging a golf club. From this study evolved "The low stress, low maintenance golf swing," through which Don shows students how to hit the ball straight and long without stress and strain. Don's passion for helping golfers play better and enjoy the game more resulted in the creation of several distinctive training aids and instruction videos. These instruction and training tools have become the nucleus of his company, The Swing Surgeon Group.
