I’ve spent my career helping golfers improve—including myself. 

As a collegiate and professional player, I was always looking for better tools to train with. I loved using mirrors for putting and setup checks—but they were always too small. They gave me part of the picture, but I wanted to see more. More of my posture. More of my swing. More of what the clubface was actually doing. 

The idea for the Mirror Mat lived in my head for years. But one lesson finally pushed me to bring it to life. 

I was working with a student who shot in the high 90s. He practiced often and understood the swing intellectually, but he couldn’t stop coming over the top. One day, after a particularly frustrating session, I took a large mirror off the wall and asked him to stand on it. He hesitated—afraid he’d break it. And in the end, he never did. 

But that moment was the catalyst. I knew golfers needed to see their swing from underneath their feet. I knew the Mirror Mat would help me coach more effectively—and help players learn faster. So, I decided to build something entirely new in the world of golf. 

Once I committed to building it, I partnered with a friend who owns a factory in South Carolina. Together, we bring the Mirror Mat to life—one at a time. I still help assemble and package Mirror Mats with care, alongside a crew that takes pride in what we’re building. 

Because I know what this game can feel like—the frustration, the missed cuts, the self-doubt. But also the joy—winning tournaments myself and feeling it vicariously when a student breaks 80 for the first time, gets in the winner’s circle, or texts me after making their first birdie with a big smile and a thumbs-up emoji. 

That’s what the Mirror Mat is about: helping golfers see more, learn more, and play better—and each is built with heart.

P.S. That student? He now regularly breaks 80—and occasionally throws in a number under 75.
