These days Steve plays local competitions and casual rounds at golf courses around Charleston, his efforts are focused on assisting golfers to reach their playing goals and to become the most effective Instructor that he can be, that's why he became a Natural Golf Certified Instructor.  Steve says "in my over 40 years of teaching golf I never saw new and experienced golfers improve so rapidly as they do once they adopt Natural Golf principles".  

When Steve went to Chicago in July of 2001 it was to add teaching options for his students, it turned out that the Natural Golf principles made so much sense to him the he became a Natural Golfer.  Shortly after he became a Certified Instructor Steve was asked to become a member of the Natural Golf Educational Team, he accepted and was added as one of the Instructors for prospective Certified Instructors in Natural Golf Certification Schools, he is also used as a swing model in Instructional videos for the company.  In July of  2005 he became the "Ask a Natural Golf Instructor" in the Natural Golf Chatroom where he has contributed over 500 posts.  He says "check it out when you have time, there's some pretty good content in there".
