For the past four years at Forest Hill Field Club I have been the Creator and Lead Instructor for a very successful ‘No-Holer’ Women’s Golf Program that I started at Echo Lake CC in 2016. This program has been featured in PGA’s Best Practices, New Jersey Golf Magazine, and GRAA Magazine. This season-long weekly clinic is designed for female members who have little to no golfing experience. It helps introduce the basic fundamentals in an stress-free environment to learn the game and all that encompasses their club experience from when they first arrive on property. This has led to a rise in golf shop sales, F&B, and tournament/league participation. It has also grown their '3 hole' and 'Op36' Program by creating a pathway to growth for the participants.

I became certified in the PGA HOPE Program in 2023, with the goal of hosting All-Female Veteran clinics to grow the game of golf within the female-veteran community. Past all-female and co-ed sessions include:
Forest Hill Field Club – Co-Ed; Spring & Fall 2025, Spring 2026
Fiddlers Elbow Country Club – Winter 2025 & 2026
Golf Paradise Club – Co-Ed; Winter & Fall 2025, Winter 2026
All Season Golf & Social Club – Women Only; Winter 2025, Winter 2026
Rutgers Golf Course – Co-Ed; Fall 2024 & 2025
Forest Hill Field Club – Co-Ed; Fall 2024
Rutgers Golf Course – Women Only; Spring 2024
Forest Hill Field Club – Co-Ed; Spring 2024
North Jersey CC – Co-Ed; Spring 2024
Fiddlers Elbow CC/NJPGA HQ – Women Only; Winter 2024
Rutgers GC – Women Only; Fall 2023

The most successful one-day program that I created which has been a huge success is “Jersey Girls’ Golf Squad: Women’s Golf Day” where I bring together local female PGA and LPGA Professionals to host a golf day at Rutgers Golf Course for women of all abilities. The 6-Hour program centers around the core aspects of the game: golf fitness, mindfulness/goal-setting, and course management/playing strategies. This program is for women amateurs of all ability levels, taught by women professionals, and has brought in participants from NJ, NY and PA. It has been hosted in May 2024, September 2024, and May 2025 & May 2026 with 30-36 maximum participants.

Another program that I hosted this Spring was a 2-Day Golf School at the Woodlands Country Club in Maine. There are no female Golf Professionals within that area so I was sought out and brought up to host 16 female members over a weekend. Clinic Days included breakfast/goal discussion, stations, lunch/goal discussion, and course management with rules & etiquette (7hr days, sold out – 16 participants)

I also offer my support as an Instructor to Corporate events that want to grow the game of golf within their respective companies, which include:
-Essex County Women Lawyers Association @ Cedar Hill Country Club (June 2026)
-Deutsche Bank Women’s Golf Day at GlenArbor Golf Club (June 2022, 2024 & 2026)
-FTI Women’s Golf Day at Manhattan Woods Golf Club (May 2023, 2024 & 2026)
-CME Women’s Day @ GlenArbor Golf Club (June 2025 & 2026)
-‘Stronger Tomorrow’ Women’s networking Membership monthly clinics for new members (Winter 2025)

Created a Women’s 2025 Fall Clinic Series at Essex Golf Range in Roseland, NJ for all abilities of women wanted to ‘swing in’ and get tips from myself and LPGA retired-Tour Pro Carole Charbonnier. This weekly 1.5 hour clinic covered topics of fitness, mindfulness, ball flight, and equipment, among other things.

All Seasons Golf & Social Club – Created Women’s Golf Day (Winter 2025); free day of indoor golf which included free 10-minute lessons; golf fitness screening and guided stretches by a female fitness instructor certified in golf; female-owned business for a trunk show, and putter company to do free fittings. For this event the building was open to only women – to grow the game, invite future participation, and enjoy a fully immersive day of golf indoors.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
In addition to the above programs, I have also created a 'practice session' where they are monitored during their practice time. We discuss changes to that specific routine and tailor drills and training aids to their specific swing movements. It is less about technical changes as in a regular lesson, but more about training them how to practice properly and with a purpose.

Many of my students use the 18Birdies App to track their playing statistics, with the option of videoing their practice sessions which are then sent to me for evaluation and feedback. This gives them accountability and a course to maintain their growth throughout the year.

Aside from creating and teaching programs to grow the game each season, I also enjoy contributing through other avenues to keep my students engaged both on and off the grass. Below is a few ‘Best Practices’ through different publications, and examples of how I promote players and the game through videos, publishing articles and podcasts, etc.

I strongly feel that professionals who continue their education can learn new strategies and technologies to better their students’ ongoing growth.
As a PGA ‘Certified’ Professional in Teaching & Coaching, LPGA Teaching Professional, TPI – Level 2 Golf Instructor, USGA Kids Certified Coach, PGA Coach Affiliate/ADM Certified, these are the personal programs that I maintain to grow with my students, to not only help myself grow as a professional but to offer them a consistent next-level experience.
