About Richard

Hi, my name is Richard Iorio, and I've been a PGA Member for over 20 years. I teach beginner, intermediate, and advanced golfers focusing on helping golfers improve consistency and confidence. By completing PGA HOPE, Decade, TPI level 2, Trackman, Foresight, and K-Vest Certifications, I have a deep understanding of Ball Flight Laws, Golf Kinesthetics, and Golf Club Fitting. I established my career through golf clubs across the country such as Fieldstone Golf Club, Hartefeld National Golf Club, Flint Hills National Golf Club, Terradyne Country Club, Sim Park Municipal Golf Course, and Oakwood Country Club. I was a three-year letterman and Co-Captain on the Wichita State University Golf Team where I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Sports Business. Since then, I’ve dedicated my career to Golf Education and Instruction. I have spent fourteen years at Golf Academy of America as the President of the San Diego Campus. Three years at the Professional Golfers Career College as the Director of Golf and Placement and two years as the Regional Director of Instruction with Lion Golf Academy. I look forward to meeting you, taking your golf game to the next level, and having fun. My most popular lesson is the 30-minute session.
