I’ve spent the last 5 to 6 years coaching both baseball and golf between a variety of ages.

I’m Jeff Riley, and I’ve been the primary golf teaching professional at Bad Dog Driving Range in East Orlando for over 25 years. I bring excitement and enthusiasm to teaching golfers of all skill levels, focusing on helping beginners and intermediates make the most of their practice time, while fine-tuning advanced players for tournament competitiveness. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lewis Gagne, who was the low amateur at the 2017 U.S. Open under my guidance. As a former collegiate player with experience on the mini tours and having qualified for two PGA Tour events, I’m dedicated to sharing my expertise and passion for the game. Bad Dog Driving Range, located directly across from Ventura Golf Club, features an all-turf grass driving range.
