About Derek

I have been a PGA Class “A” Member since May 2016. I took up the game of golf when he was just 6 years old. Growing up, I played a variety of sports, but while playing golf in high school he decided he wanted to make this great game his passion and career.

I was born and raised in the small town of Dover, Pennsylvania, which sits about forty minutes south of the capital, Harrisburg. I started working at Grandview Golf Course in Dover, PA when I was 15 years old and upon graduation from high school, I was accepted into the Professional Golf Management program at Coastal Carolina University. After four and a half years, I graduated with a degree in Professional Golf Management while also receiving a bachelor’s degree in Accounting.

My experience comes from working internships at clubs such as the Country Club of York, where I worked for my first 3 internships, Bristol Harbour Resort, where he completed his final internship, and Regents’ Glen Country Club, where he worked as an Assistant Golf Professional from April 2016 – January 2017. Over the course of his 4 internships and Assistant Golf Professional position, I was instrumental in helping grow instructional programs. I am K-Vest Level 1 certified, which is the industry’s only human motion learning system. My desire for knowledge on how biomechanics can help the golf swing has motivated me to study more about this subject. I am very excited to be pursuing his passion for teaching and club fitting, full time, at York Indoor Golf & Training Center, where I have been since 2017.

Testimonial:

Derek is an excellent instructor. He exhibits both patience and professionalism. He is adapt at helping you “tweak” your mechanics to improve your swing. I highly recommend booking an appointment with Derek!

Walt Wensel

Testimonial:

My instructor Derek was very knowledgeable. He really helped me out with my swing. There was even more to work on than I had realized, but with his observation and instruction, I saw huge improvement in my game!

Dave Marks

Testimonial:

Lesson with Derek went great. Felt super comfortable and he not only explained things in detail, but also broke them down into easy-to-understand and easy-to-replicate terms and movements.

RJ Wallar

Testimonial:

I booked a lesson with Derek for my wife, who’s a complete beginner and had never take golf lessons before. In just one hour, he had her making consistent contact with smooth, fluid swings.

Alex Anand

Testimonial:

Derek was fantastic. He did a great job with simplifying my basic swing mechanics and showing how to correct/improve those mechanics through demonstrations and drills. I will definitely be back for more lessons.
