Michael J Riso, PGA
Professional Golf Instructorassociate

Michael Riso helps golfers of all skill levels . Entering his 38th year teaching golf, he focuses on teaching simplified golf.
With the overload of technical information available, especially on the Internet, it’s easy for students to become confused.
Michaels company mantra is - “We make learning golf simple.”
He specializes in helping players over age 50 maximize their potential, especially those dealing with physical challenges.
Originally from Buffalo, New York, he’s an entrepreneur, author, speaker, and was president of Swing in Time Golf Shop, in Williamsville, New York, from 1989 to 1998. The golf shop specialized in custom fit clubs, private golf lessons, the history of golf, and unique tournament gifts.
In 2003, Michael started a web-based business called Mike Riso Golf. The company specializes in helping golfers improve their game through golf lessons, ‘On-course’ playing lessons, business golf training programs, and professional clubfitting. His website is a resource for golf articles and golf services, while offering free golf tips.
His ‘On-course’ instruction helps students increase their distance, improve their accuracy, stop slicing, gain consistency, reduce 3-putts, and improve their chips, pitches, and sand play, while developing the mental game and strategies to lower scores.
As a golf professional and peak performance coach, he shows students how to tap into their unlimited potential, in a fun and easy way. He developed a simple teaching method that helps them achieve immediate improvements, and develop a deeper love for the game.
In 2004, Michael and his wife Nancy created Relax & Golf, a company that combines Michael’s passion for golf, with Nancy’s passion for yoga and healthy living. Relax & Golf helps golfers play golf with an easy going attitude, while helping them develop flexibility and a sense of calm.
Relax & Golf also includes golf-specific stretches to increase flexibility and add distance, along with nutritional guidance for those interested in a healthy lifestyle.
