About

INDOOR And OUTDOOR LESSONS. Former tournament player and owner of golf instruction business for 15 years. I've worked with adults, beginners, kids and seniors. I am a Leadbetter Certified Instructor and USGTF instructor and member of the International PGA. TPI Level 1 Certified. No two swings are the same and while I have studied and am knowledgeable in several different methods, the instruction I provide is completely based on the student's ability, comfort and flexibility. I use video and complete analysis of your swing. Contact me to start improving your game. Please note if you are more than 25 miles from central Long Island I most likely cannot help you unless you are willing to travel to me. But am happy to do an online lesson. Online lessons also available if you are out of the area.

I had my first golf lesson yesterday and after an hour, I already feel like I've taken a big step forward. John is an excellent teacher. His clear and concise explanations of how and why things happen in your swing, and the steps towards correcting mistakes, make every minute valuable. Looking forward to future lessons!

John is AMAZING!! Exactly the instructor i have been searching for! I’ve taken lessons many times before with various pros (even TPI certified instructors) and i got more out of one 1 hour session than i did with others with multiple sessions. I will continue to be working with John to help improve my game across the board!

John is a great teacher. He is great at analyzing and helping make adjustments to your swing using video to show you. He is awesome at explaining why you are doing what your are doing, rather then just having you do it, which really helps you better understand what is going on
