About Robert (Bob)

Bob – PGA Teaching & Coaching Certified Professional

I’m a dedicated golf instructor and coach with a passion for unlocking every player’s potential. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of creating value for more than 35,000 new golf students, guiding them from their very first swing to genuine on-course confidence. My mission is to turn enthusiasm into skill, and to help each person I work with discover how golf can enrich their life.

My Coaching Achievements

  • I’ve developed several young golfers into college scholarship recipients, watching them grow not only as athletes but as leaders and team players.
  • I’ve led high-level golf programs—designing practice plans, managing team dynamics, and fostering a competitive yet supportive environment.
  • I take pride in tailoring my approach to each player’s needs, whether they’re striving for tournament success or simply aiming to master the fundamentals.

My Instructional Contributions

  • I authored two comprehensive golf instruction books, breaking down complex swing mechanics into clear, actionable steps. These books have helped readers at all skill levels elevate their game.
  • For several years, I hosted a cable TV golf instruction program in Chicago, reaching thousands of viewers each week. On air, I demonstrated drills, shared strategic insights, and offered practical tips anyone could apply on the driving range or course.

Professional Credentials

I hold the PGA Teaching & Coaching Certification, which ensures that my methods are backed by the latest research in sports science, coaching pedagogy, and player development. This credential empowers me to:

  • Implement proven teaching techniques
  • Assess and refine swing mechanics with precision
  • Provide mental-conditioning strategies for consistent on-course performance

My Philosophy and Invitation

I believe every golfer—regardless of age or experience—deserves a customized path to improvement. By combining technical knowledge, motivational coaching, and real-world playing experience, I create opportunities for meaningful progress. Whether you’re picking up clubs for the first time, aiming for collegiate competition, or seeking to shave strokes off your handicap, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.

Let’s team up to turn your golf goals into reality. With my expertise and your dedication, the green is just the beginning.
