About Jonathan

Director of Player Development for the six premier clubs across Peachtree City and Newnan, Georgia, primarily based out of Planterra Club.

With over two decades of teaching experience, he combines a unique educational background in Golf Biomechanics from TWU and Applied Physics from Rice, as well as learning from world renowned instructors such as Laird Small, Scott Fawcett, Mary B. Porter King and Scott Reinhart as well as PGA and LPGA Tour Professionals such as Tony Finau, John Rahm, Jordan Speith and Nasa Hataoka.

His passion for the game, helping players unlock their true potential, and striving to be the best has led his students to be the same. Combined with his over 12 years of coaching elite level sports, including being an Assistant Coach at the University of Hawaii and the University of Chaminade, his scientific approach to instruction focuses on the physics of the golf swing and intricacies of course management, helping students master the complex concepts of golf, while making it easily digestible. His track record speaks for itself: he has successfully coached 27 players to the collegiate level and guided 3 players to the professional ranks.

Whether working with a junior golfer or an aspiring pro, Jonathan is dedicated to developing athletes who understand not only the “how” but the "why" behind their swing.
