Alley Pond Golf Center - Douglaston, New York

Bio: I love golf, because of what it has taught me about myself, and for the game, itself. Golf seems an impossible sport when beginning, but to succeed at goals on the course allows for success in life. I can help begin that journey. I have 30 years of teaching experience, and I am currently the golf instructor with Pegasus After School programs of New Jersey.

Bio: I have played golf since I was 7 years old, gaining experience and a deep love for the game. My journey includes participating in tournaments at a young age, although I took a break during middle school and the beginning of high school due to academics and other responsibilities. Despite this, my passion for golf never waned. Over the past two years, I've had the pleasure of coaching friends who wanted to learn the sport, teaching them the proper techniques and the ins and outs of golf. I’ve coached around five individuals and counting, watching their skills grow and improve has been incredibly rewarding. I am eager to extend my coaching to more people, helping them experience the joy of progress and achievement in golf. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, I'm here to guide you on your golfing journey and celebrate your growth.

Bio: I was hired in 1993 as Head Golf Professional for Golden Bear Center at Alley Pond and continued with this company for 10 years. My promotions with them include Head Professional/General Manager of their Randall’s Island facility, and finally as District Manager/Director of Golf Instructions for Queens, The Bronx, and Long Island. My outstanding teaching is understandable not only because of my ability to customize lessons to my students, but also when you look at my impressive teaching background. I have been certified as Instructor/Master of the connected swing by the Colbert-Ballard School, and certified instructor by the Jack Nicklaus-Jim Flick School. I have given over 20,000 individual lessons to all ability levels and ages in the Tri-State area. My expertise includes, but is not limited to being a game improvement specialist and expert video analyst.
