I come from a long line of golfers with ancestors who were pros in Scotland. I honed my skills in West Chester, PA, and later in South Florida, earning a single-digit handicap. In 2012, my son and I founded Imagen Golf to make golf dreams come true. I've written a best-selling golf book, hosted the Imagen Golf Podcast, and invented the "Pure Putt Grip." I've learned from top golf minds like David Leadbetter and Butch Harmon, and my coaching philosophy is centered on individuality and a skills-based approach. As a Top 100 Coach, #1 Golf Instructor in PA and certified teaching pro, I'm passionate about growing the game. I also provide virtual lessons from my indoor studio. All of my lessons are fully guaranteed, if you don’t get better the lesson is FREE.

"Wow, that lesson sparked real clarity: the highlight is playful yet meaningful, and I’m eager to refine timing and contact in the next lesson. I’ll keep practicing and book again soon.

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.

"He had drills for all my problems

I’ve been a lifelong golfer, learning the game under the guidance of a Golf Digest Top-50 coach starting at age 10. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of both the technical and mental sides of golf. My coaching focuses on simplifying the game, building confidence, and giving players the tools they need to consistently lower their handicap and most importantly, enjoy golf more.

"I'm getting better at golf with Matthew's help. His explanations and feedback are really clear, and I found them quite helpful in understanding what I need to work on though. Still, I look forward to practicing more and seeing how my technique improves over time.

Since being introduced to golf at a young age, I have been passionate about bettering myself and others at the game. From playing at the high school, college, and playing in professional tournaments, I have spent the last 7 years as a caddie. While the winter months would bring me to the tropics of Jupiter, Florida, the arrival of my son this year has given me the motivation to help better the greater Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley areas full time. I have a unique approach- I will not hook you up to wires or devices or stress about what your swing speed is, as no two swings are the same. Golf is 90% mental, and I will help you master course management while teaching you how to address each and every shot. You cannot get better at anything by sitting around, so let’s use these cold winter months to personalize YOUR game through the eyes of a caddie, so that your friends and family will be shocked this spring when you tee it up!
