"In these short four months, Eric constantly pushed me to not only be the best golf professional I could be, but the best human as well... Like every great coach, Eric wants to watch the young professionals around him shine in the brightest of lights. Not because that success is being attributed to him, but because he genuinely cares about every professional's potential... His dedication to the game of golf and commitment to the career development of others has enabled him to create an undeniable impact throughout the industry.
