and athletic council representative. He finished his college
career as the #1 player on the team.

In 1989 he turned professional, began coaching. In 1991 he began playing
on the Golden State Tour. During this period he honed his game to a +4.5
handicap. Then in 1992 he was injured and did not play for four years. In
1994 he moved to Hawaii were he finished organizing his studies
into the New Horizons Golf Approach.In 2003 Ed moved
back to the San Francisco Bay Area.

He continues to play golf honoring the quest to play professionally on the
PGA Tour. He also continues to seek out more productive ways
of coaching. Indeed, Ed's true love is the game of golf. He's
always got an ear and a perspective for inquiring golfers.



"I met Ed while playing golf on the California mini tours over ten years ago. He was the best ball striker
I had ever seen, and he also had the ability to help us struggling pro's straighten out our games.
Unfortunately, I did not get to spend enough time with him on my game. When I found
out Ed had written some books I had to get them.

Since reading Focus On Golf, I have been reminded of the mind-set he would describe to us when we
were playing. Even though I am a father and don't play as regularly as I would like, Focus On Golf
has helped me become more consistent even without regular practice."
