About Robert

Robert “R.T.” Todd, contact info 315-749-5205 or pgatodd@pga.com

My name is Robert “RT” Todd, but most people call me RT. I am currently giving lessons through the Heritage Golf Academy at Palmetto Hall Golf and Country Club on Hilton Head Island, SC.

I joined the PGA in 1988 and have been involved with recognized golf academies throughout the country. From 2006 to 2023, I served as the Director of Golf Development at Turning Stone Resort in central NY that hosted annual PGA Tour events from 2006 to 2011. I was the PGA Tour Ambassador and attended many PGA Tour events, where I built invaluable relationships with PGA Tour players and professionals. The most rewarding aspect of these events was the profound insight I gained from observing the players' swings and engaging in conversations with their coaches on the driving range in the days leading up to the tournament. Sharing what I’ve learned through these experiences has proven valuable to my clients.

For my training techniques, I include some of the most advanced motion detection devices, cameras, and video technology to help you see your results if you desire, such as SportsBox AI for which I am certified. Other certifications, affiliations and awards include:

  • PGA Coach – helping golfers connect with a coach
  • PGA Hope – Helping Our Patriots Everywhere
  • Golf American Development Model (ADM)
  • PGA Works – we believe golf is shaping future leaders
  • PGA Junior League – taking a team approach to golf
  • Advanced Professional Training certification
  • Horton Smith Award for Dedication, Leadership, and outstanding contributions to the PGA education program
  • Graduate of Cornell Leadership Development Program sponsored by the Johnson Graduate School of Management
  • American Legion Award for high qualities of courage, honor, leadership, and patriotism

I am an author and publisher of a family golf book titled "FORE Your Family From: Todd The Frog," which has been endorsed by the PGA of America.
