"That lesson with Frank was quite helpful. I especially appreciated the way he explained some key strategies, and the lesson highlighted how important the fundamentals are. Still, I think adding more drills and rallys could really make a difference in building consistency. Yeah, Frank's approach feels practical, and I’m hopeful that with a bit more focus on rallying, I’ll see further progress. If you're looking for someone who knows their way around tennis lessons, you might want to give Frank a try.

"Michelle was personable, patient, understanding and met me at the level I was at. She’s great at explaining and gave positive feedback which motivated me to keep going. It gave me confidence and helped me perform. I ran pretty late and she still gave me the same attention and helped me max out the most of the time we did have together. I highly recommend.

Starting playing golf at age of 18 at Spook Rock golf course. From there starting taking lessons at The Tuxedo Club where I worked for a friend and mentor Dave Carazo. In that time frame qualified for 2 Met Amateurs. That lead me to become a golf professional in that time frame spent 12 years in the Met PGA section and became a member of the PGA 2001. After that spent time in both Philly and New Jersey section where I currently reside. Recently I worked at Golf Galaxy of East Hanover as a golf instructor and club fitter for 5 plus years. Through my career I have taken lessons from Top 100 instructors such as Brad Redding, Mike Bender, Todd Sones and Stan Utley. Caddied at a club called Lost Tree Club where had the chance to play with tour players and caddie for Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman.

My mission as a golf teacher is to identify and optimize your innate biomechanics in order for you to consistently hit higher quality golf shots. I captained my golf teams both in high school at Hanover Park and College at Susquehanna University, and have been giving free lance instruction to friends and family for the last 10 years. Seeing the successes of my clients has encouraged me to branch out to a broader base of golfers of all levels of skill. My knowledge of the game comes from 25 years of playing experience, caddying for professionals, and studying the best players and instructors in the world. I believe what separates me from most instructors is my method of assessing your natural movements and working within those parameters to create your ideal grip, setup, posture, and swing type. Not only will this lead to you playing your best golf, but it will minimize the effects of any chronic pain or ailments you may have and maximize future injury prevention. Aside from simulator lessons, I also offer playing lessons, short game work, and club fitting assistance. I want my students to be able to reach me 24/7 with any type of follow-up questions and feedback. I'm not a cookie cutter hourly instructor, I take pride in being your golf coach and helping you get the most out of your game!
"“Working with Pat has been the best experience I’ve had with a golf instructor. His knowledge of the game and his ability to teach everyone on their unique swing characteristics is something far advanced compared to others. He gives you confidence in your ability and I always walk away learning something new from each lesson.”

"The lesson with Hasan was quite focused and helped me understand some key positioning tips, though I still think I need to work more on dribbling. Still, I’m optimistic about improving my control in future lessons and might give him another shot.
