About Larissa

Hi, I'm Larissa Carter, a PGA Associate and Golf Professional with a lifelong passion for the game and a strong competitive background. I'm dedicated to helping golfers of all ages and skill levels build confidence, improve their skills, and truly enjoy being on the course.

I began playing competitively at a young age and went on to play for the Auburn High School Girls Varsity Golf Team from 2008-2014. During that time, I served as team captain for five years, losing only twice, and helped lead my team to its first undefeated season, capped off with a NYSPHSAA Championship my senior year. I earned medalist honors more than 20 times and, as a junior, finished first in a field of 97 players to earn a spot competing in the Symetra Tour's Credit Union Classic.

Throughout my junior career, I won over 60 tournaments across the United States and received numerous honors, including CNYPGA Player of the Year (2010-2012), multiple CNYPGA Championship titles, and victories at the New York State and regional levels. I also set the New York State Junior Girls low round record of 67 and a course record at Tuscarora Golf Club.

I continued my career at the collegiate level, where I recorded one of the best finishes in program history at the Big South Championship, placing 3rd at Kiawah Island, and was named Big South Freshman of the Week. Also in 2018, I was honored to win the AIM Women's Golf Championship.

Today, I bring that experience into my teaching, creating a fun, supportive, and welcoming environment- especially for women and junior golfers. My goal is to make golf feel approachable, build confidence in every player, and help you enjoy the game as much as I do.
