About Dineen

PGA Professional Dineen Notman has built her career around two passions: golf and helping others succeed. A native of Syracuse, NY, Dineen's love for the game begain as a child, riding in the golf cart with her grandfather, laughing, sharing snacks and stories as he taught her the rhythm, patience, and joy of the sport. Those moments weren’t just about golf; they were lessons in curiosity, confidence, and character that continue to guide her coaching today.

Dineen honed her skills as a collegiate golfer at Penn State and as a PGA PGM student, blending competitive experience with professional training. A college injury challenged her love of the game but became a turning point. Dineen committed herself to helping others share her passion for golf by applying a fun, results-driven coaching style focused on consistency, confidence, and meaningful improvement.

Dineen works with golfers of all ages, from juniors taking their first swing to adults striving to lower their scores, helping each student fine-tune their skills and build lasting confidence. Respected for her energy, creativity, and genuine connection with players, her coaching style is engaging, purposeful, and inspiring.

In 2025, Dineen published Where’s Mully?, a children’s book that introduces golf through story, imagination, and friendship, reflecting her belief that learning should be fun, confidence-building, and memorable. Her coaching and creative work with youth continue to inspire kids to embrace golf while developing resilience, sportsmanship, and a lifelong love of the game.

Dineen’s mission is simple: help every player grow, achieve, and thrive on and off the course. Through her unique coaching and training programs, she helps golfers shoot lower scores, develop lasting confidence, and improve their game while having more fun in the process.

Testimonial:

Anyone can teach a kid to swing a club, but Dineen does so much more. Over four years, my kids have learned commitment, respect, responsibility, and healthy competition—all while mastering their game and gaining a lifelong love of golf.

Jill Neiberg

Testimonial:

My son loves golf—but he loves it more with Dineen. She’s taught him proper form, club choice, rules, and etiquette. She’s encouraged him to set goals and improve, but always kept the game fun.

Lili Siegelson

Testimonial:

You’ve made a true difference in Franklin’s life—thank you. He really looks up to you, and I believe your lessons of friendship and sportsmanship will stay with him and become a part of who he is.

Leah Rodgers

Testimonial:

After knee surgery and years struggling with my swing, a few lessons with Dineen got me back in the groove. She fine-tunes what needs work, highlights strengths, and her on-course guidance makes learning fun. Loving the game again!
