Top 1 coaches for Golf lessons near Edwardsville, IL

Bio: With over 30 years of competitive golf experience, I bring a lifelong passion for the game and a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed at every level. I began competing at age 10 and went on to qualify for the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) State Championship in both my junior and senior years. I then played NCAA Division II college golf in the highly competitive Gulf South Conference for the University of West Florida. Throughout my career, I’ve competed in numerous U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur qualifiers, and spent two years as a fully sponsored Callaway Golf professional on the RE/MAX World Long Drive Tour, winning both regional and super regional events with drives of 396 and 406 yards respectively. My teaching specialties include gaining distance and accuracy off the tee, mastering the short game, and building a confident, resilient mental approach to handle the challenges of tournament play or casual weekend rounds. I’ve coached golfers of all ages and skill levels, from aspiring junior athletes to seasoned weekend warriors. I’ve passed the rigorous PGA Playing Ability Test (PAT) at Seminole Legacy Golf Club in Tallahassee, FL as part of the PGA Professional Golf Management (PGM) Program, which evaluates both playing and coaching ability. Whether your goal is to sharpen your competitive edge or finally win your Saturday foursome, I provide a fun, laid-back learning atmosphere designed to help you elevate every part of your game. My instruction can take place at one of the provided courses/ranges/practice greens listed on this site or I’m more than happy to travel to your home club in which we can really dig into course management, yardage book creation or USGA etiquette and rules expertise while playing 9 holes. You’re choice of venue and convenience is my #1 goal while lowering your leisurely score, decreasing your official USGA handicap index, making that grade school varsity team or just learning how to absolutely crush it off the tee, I would be thrilled to meet you where you are and accomplish/blow away your individual golf expectations and or goals!
