Nick Castaldo
Assistant Golf Professionalassociate
Every golfer is unique. My coaching focuses on simple, personalized instruction designed to build confidence and produce lasting improvement on the course.
Over the years, I have competed in events both locally and regionally and have had the opportunity to work with and mentor players and coaches at the collegiate and professional levels. Those experiences have shaped a coaching philosophy built on clarity, adaptability, and results.
My approach to coaching is centered on simplicity and personalization. I do not believe in a “one-swing” method—every golfer moves differently, and effective coaching must respect those individual differences. Lessons are designed to be clear, easy to understand, and directly applicable to the course.
I combine advanced technology with a strong understanding of human movement to help players improve efficiently. I utilize Foresight launch monitor technology, OnForm video analysis, and am currently enrolled in TrackMan University to ensure my instruction remains modern, accurate, and data-driven. This is paired with knowledge of functional movement and strength training, allowing me to address both swing mechanics and the body’s ability to perform them.
In addition to coaching, I am US Kids Golf Certified and a PING Staff Member and Certified PING Fitter. While I represent PING, my extensive equipment knowledge allows me to professionally fit and optimize clubs across all brands, ensuring each player is properly matched to their equipment.
I work with golfers of all levels—from beginners to competitive players—and place a strong emphasis on on-course and playing lessons, helping clients translate practice into real performance. My goal is always the same: to provide a professional, enjoyable experience that leads to measurable improvement and greater confidence on the golf course.
