Simplicity Golf, Saint Charles

Dennis Walters has been surrounded by the game of golf since he was very young. He learned the game from his father, a PGA professional, and turned pro at the tender age of 18 with help from world-renowned teachers including Butch Harmon.

Dennis’s golf career has allowed him to whittle the notoriously difficult game down to three key areas: the swing, the mental game, and physical fitness. During lessons, he works to teach proper, easily repeatable swings that are based on core and lower-body movement. To this, he adds tips about mental preparation, teaching his students the value of learning proper practice techniques and eliminating negative thoughts such as wondering if they left the iron on in the middle of a downswing. Lastly, he advocates for proper physical conditioning through exercise, which can help golfers increase their distance and accuracy but also allow them to play late into their lives.
