About Anthony

      Anthony Fuentes "Tony" is a highly skilled and passionate player development professional breaking into the golf industry. As a Player Development Professional, Leader, Mentor, Husband and Father, Tony has dedicated his career to helping golfers of all ages and skill levels achieve their personal best on and off the course. Tony's journey in golf began during his tenure in the US Army. After he suffered multiple injuries from combat operations overseas, Tony was introduced to PGA Hope and adaptive golf. Instantly, Tony developed a love for the game and became addicted to the process of growing the game. Tony honed his skills through rigorous training and competition through Europe, the Middle East, and the US. Golf's calling was overwhelming; Tony retired after 20 years of service to his country and turned his passion for golf into a profession. With a proven track record in teaching, coaching, and developing leaders, Tony's additional certifications and experience in golf frame his holistic approach to teaching.

Teaching Philosophy Anthony Fuentes Personalized Approach My teaching philosophy is built on the foundation that no one person/student is the same, each golfer has their own strengths, limitations, weaknesses, and learning styles. I strive to personalize my approach for every golfer, ensuring that lessons are targeted at their individual needs and goals. I will focus on the student’s specific objectives, whether it’s lowering their handicap, improving their swing, mastering short game techniques, or listening and adaption to their swing philosophy, I aim to make the learning process both effective and enjoyable. Fundamentals First Fundamentals are essentials is crucial for long-term success in golf. My instruction begins with a focus on the basics: grip, stance, alignment, and posture. By establishing a strong foundation, students can develop more advanced skills with confidence. I ensure that these fundamental elements are deeply ingrained in each golfer’s routine, leading to more consistent and reliable performance on the course. Incorporating Technology and Modern Techniques Traditional teaching methods work and remain relevant, I also embrace modern technology and techniques to enhance the student’s experience. Trackman, and high-speed video analysis provide valuable insights into a golfer’s swing mechanics and ball flight. By integrating select types of equipment into my lessons, I can offer specific insight and data-driven counsel to aid students in making informed swing modifications and see measurable improvements. Holistic Approach to Improvement Golf is played between the ears just as much as it is played physically. I teach beyond just technical skills and include aspects of golf psychology, course management, and fitness. Mental toughness, focus, and strategic thinking will be a daily focus, so we build the mind in addition to the body. Additionally, I emphasize the significance of physical fitness and conditioning, acknowledging a flexible, strong body adds to a better performance and injury prevention. Encouraging a Lifelong Love and Respect for the Game My goal as a golf instructor is to instill a lifelong love and respect for the game. I endeavor to make each session fun and engaging, reinforcing a positive and encouraging learning environment. From the most advanced golfers to beginners, I aim to build confidence and interest, encouraging students to continue their golf journey with passion and commitment . Continuous Learning and Adaptation Modernization in the world of golf continues to show no signs of slowing down, and so, my approach to teaching will adapt. I will strive for continuous professional development and stay updated with the latest teaching techniques, and best practices. By persistently refining my expertise and knowledge, I can provide my students with the highest quality of instruction and support.
