PGA Certified Instructor

Geoff is an experienced PGA Professional that embraces his responsibilities as a PGA Certified Golf Instructor to grow the game of golf at every opportunity.

If he looks familiar to you, it is because he has worked at several of the area’s finest facilities, and we are extremely excited to have him on our team here at Cherry Island!

Geoff’s Teaching Philosophy:

“I believe every person with the desire to play the game of golf, has the ability to do so. All ages, sizes, and shapes can make a golf swing. I believe that no two swings are alike and that the magic moment of impact with the golf ball can be achieved by all. Now with that said, it does take an understanding of basic swing fundamentals and a fair amount of patience. I specialize in keeping golf instruction simple and as fun as possible. I have taught all ages and abilities and thrive in seeing people improve their golf games. A positive mental approach is also very important in golf, and I have studied sports psychology to aid in assisting golfers achieve a good mindset on the golf course. I am very excited to join the team of Teaching Professionals here at Cherry Island Golf Course, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you, your family, and friends on bettering your golf games.”
