About Jack

Hi! My name is Jack Kelly and I serve as the Director of Instruction and Player Development at Glendale Country Club in Bellevue, WA. I absolutely love coaching people and am fascinated every day by the game and the art of coaching it better. While I help golfers of all skill levels enjoy golf more by looking holistically at all parts of the game, I specialize in the short game, coaching on course and developing elite junior players.

I have been recognized by Golf Digest as one of the Best Young Teachers in America and one of the Best Teachers in WA. I’ve coached junior students to 8 state titles and in 2025 there have been over 175 wins recorded by students. I have over 75,000 followers across my social media accounts and enjoy using it to share practical tips, connect with my students and share experiences.

Follow me @realjackkelly to get a glimpse into my coaching style, what I believe in and to see if I might be a good fit for you on your golfing journey.
