9 handicap. Lifelong golfer. I'll teach you to love the game of golf and have a good time playing! Which is what it’s all about.

"My lesson with Mark was quite helpful, especially learning what I needed to make contact with the ball. Though, I still think there's room for improvement, but overall it was a solid experience and I guess I’ll keep working on what he showed me.

With almost 30 years of competitive golf experience and more than 5 years teaching the game of golf, I combine deep technical expertise with a hands on approach to help the student achieve the proper techniques used in the golf swing.  I use an everyday, practical teaching method to help my students understand the golf swing by using familiar daily movements.  Whether it’s tossing a cup of water over your shoulder or holding a tray like a waiter, these comparisons make complex motions easier to grasp.  I am currently a PGA Affiliate and plan to be be fully a certified member of the Professional Golf Association of America (PGA) by 2026.  I have a love and a passion for helping my students reach their full potential and am excited about introducing and expanding the game of golf to others.

"I had a lesson with Quinn and, well, he’s definitely good at giving feedback but didn’t quite match my needs since he primarily works with beginners. Still, I appreciated the precise insights he offered on technique, though I feel I’d benefit from someone whose approach aligns more with my level and goals. Definitely worth a try if you're starting out or need straightforward guidance.

Unlock your golfing potential with personalized instruction. I began playing golf at age 7, started playing competitively at age 10, was a successful junior player and played in several national level events. I went to college to become a golf professional. I followed that path after graduating for 6 years and earned PGA Class A Professional accreditation while at Ruth Lake Country Club in Hinsdale, IL. While working as a professional, I gave countless lessons to players of all abilities ranging from juniors just starting the game, to elite level junior players at the high school level, ladies, seniors, and even handicapped/disabled golfers. While I left the PGA Pro life for a career in technology in the Golf Industry, I have remained a lifelong student of the dynamics of golf swing, short game, and all aspects of the game. I play 70+ rounds each year and love to compete or just play for fun. One thing I know, Golf is not one-size-fits-all sport, fun can be had at all levels if you match the course to your ability and the approach to play that aligns with to your athletic capabilities. I prefer to tailor my approach to each student and what goals they are trying to achieve. Whether you're just starting to learn the game, or been playing for years and just struggling with a few things, I can help get you on track and working on sound principles and fundamentals. Let's get started on a track to better, more enjoyable golf.
