About Brian

Brian Burke – Golf Instructor

Thank you for reaching out. I’m Brian Burke, and I currently teach golf at several locations throughout the Tampa Bay area. I’d be happy to help you improve your game.

A little background about me: I became a certified golf instructor in 2004 while still serving in the military as a Navy Diver. After retiring from the Navy in 2007, I continued my career at the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) at MacDill Air Force Base, where I worked for 13 years.

In June 2021, I made the decision to pursue teaching golf full-time and took over providing instruction in the area. Since then, I’m proud to say that my students have made significant improvements in their games through structured coaching and a clear development process.

I offer several options for golf development depending on your goals, experience level, and schedule.

Additional Resource

I also authored a short game instructional manual based on the system I’ve developed over many years of teaching.

ZONEGolf123 Core Concepts Manual

This book introduces the ZONEGolf123 short game system, which provides a clear and simplified approach to improving scoring shots around the green. The system covers:

  • Chipping
  • Pitching
  • Putting

It provides a 360-degree view of the techniques and processes I use in my instruction to help golfers produce more consistent results and lower their scores.

Many of my students use the manual alongside their lessons because it offers deeper insight into the concepts we work on during training and helps reinforce improvement between sessions.

The book is an easy read and a great resource for golfers who want to better understand the short game.

Great Gift Idea for Golfers

The book also makes a great gift for the golfer in your life who is difficult to shop for. It’s perfect for:

  • Birthdays
  • Father’s Day or Mother’s Day
  • Christmas
  • Retirement gifts
  • Holidays like Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, or the Fourth of July

It’s a thoughtful way to help someone you care about improve at the game they love.
