She spent the next 15 years home schooling and coaching her three children, two of whom played number 2 for their local high school tennis squads.

Meet Margo, a Golf Coach in Richmond, Virginia.

GofDoc (Margo) believes there is no one ideal swing to fit every golfer. Golf is a game of misses and mistakes. Nobody has perfected the game, and no one ever will. The key is not to try to perfect the game but to play it. Practice does not make perfect, it makes permanent. I teach individuals of all ages and abilities. I try extremely hard to keep things simple. I want my students to develop a simple, fundamental approach to swinging the golf club and reaching a student's goal in golf.
