About John

I have been a full time golf professional for 11 years. I have served as an Assistant Golf Professional, Head Golf Professional, Director of Instruction, and now the Director of Junior Golf for 5 golf courses. I have been so incredibly fortunate to learn from some of the greatest golf instructors in how to best simplify the diagnosis of the swing issue(s), and how best to convey that in the most simple way possible to give each player the best chance at playing their best golf. There are so many incredible golf instructors through the PGA, so I consider it an honor to help each student that comes to me for help!

Kearney Hill Golf Links

Lexington KY

Facility

Kearney Hill Golf Links is a Pete Dye designed, links style golf course. We have hosted the PGA Champions Tour, USGA Championships and US Open qualifiers, multiple Kentucky Opens, as well as both Boys & Girls Junior PGA Championships. Kearney is just 1 of 5 golf courses where I am the Director of Junior Golf, and have the access to teach at 5 unique golf courses.

Facility Offerings
Private Teaching Area

We have a private area where we teach our individual and group lessons. This really enhances the students experience, as it helps to calm the nerves a lot of people experience when taking lessons.

Short Game Area

We have 2 large putting greens, a chipping green, and a practice bunker. This allows us to really help each player work on all facets of their short game.

Playing Lessons

Our practice facility sits between a Par 3, 4, and 5. This allows us the opportunity to jump on the course and incorporate what we have been working on, into real golf conditions.

Facility

Lakeside golf course is the perfect golf course for golfers of all skill levels. Like Kearney Hill Golf Links, Lakeside has a private teaching area we utilize to really enhance the students experience.

Playing Lessons

The ability to take what we have learned onto the golf course, is crucial to helping each student put into practice what they have learned during their range lessons.

Lexington KY

Facility

Meadowbrook Golf Course is a Par 3 golf course, and perhaps my favorite place to teach! The relaxed atmosphere is the perfect environment for a student to learn. Meadowbrook does not a driving range, but that gives us the opportunity to work on the swing, as well as playing golf at the same time. This is the perfect golf course for those who are just beginning their golf journey!
