About Walter

I grew up on a very unique course known as Palatka Golf Club, located in Palatka, FL, USA. A 1925 Donald Ross course designed around the Ravine Start Gardens, this unique geological feature allowed Mr. Ross to create a very atypical design compared to most courses in the state.

Having the opportunity to grow up playing such a unique course in highly competitive environment instilled in me imagination, discipline, and passion for the game of golf. And it's that imagination, discipline and passion that drove me to specialize in teaching and coaching golf so that current and future players can enjoy a lifetime of success in this great game.

My philosophy in golf instruction is to keep it simple and see improvement in your consistency over time. I use a plethora of activities to train your body in a progressive manner so that it is easy to progress step-by-step. From new and beginning golfers to high level players, I will give you the tools you need to improve your game.

I hold certifications in the PGA for Teaching & Coaching, American Developmental Model, and PGA Hope. I am also certified for V1 Sports Video Lessons.

Jane Farrell

Testimonial:

Your analytical approach in breaking down my swing elements helped me tremendously. Stressing the importance of warm up/rehearsal swings helped me to lower my handicap.

John Tupper

Testimonial:

I came to Florida with a 50 handicap. After 2 lessons jointly with my husband and one individual lesson from Walter, my handicap came down to 30. Walter very patiently worked with my limitations and turned my game around.
