Student

"When I was five years old, my father introduced me to the game of golf. Using my cut-down three wood to land my first solid shot on the pitching green was an exhilarating experience. From that day, I knew golf would become a large part of my life."

At the age of eight, Jerome enrolled as a student of world-famous David Leadbetter, with whom he studied for 16 years. Jerome's aptitude and passion for the game led to his success as a junior player at the national level. Later, he was recruited nationally as a top-ten player in the United States and played his college career at the University of Southern California. While competing and building his skills at the college level, Jerome discovered his true passion: studying the mechanics of the golf swing and teaching others how to perfect their games.
