About Ryan

Hello! My name is Ryan Brinza, and I am a PGA Certified Professional with over 25 years of experience in the golf industry. Golf has been my lifelong passion, and my career has been dedicated to not only mastering the game but helping others find their own success and enjoyment on the course.

A Little About My Background:

  • PGA Certified Professional: I hold a Certified Professional designation in Golf Operations and am currently working toward my Master Professional designation.
  • Decades of Experience: My journey has taken me from the daily operations of municipal courses to executive management, where I oversaw 72 holes of golf and over 130 employees for the City of Madison.
  • Dedicated Instructor: Over the last 15 years, I have taught thousands of lessons to players of all ages and skill levels. Most recently, through Change Golf Instruction, I’ve had the pleasure of seeing players achieve significant growth in both individual and group settings.
  • Community Focused: My goal has always been to make golf more inclusive, welcoming, and accessible to everyone.

My mission is to build upon the excellent foundation of Change Golf Instruction by bringing renewed energy to our programming. Whether you are a junior golfer picking up a club for the first time, an amateur looking to break 90, or a seasoned player seeking a competitive edge, I am committed to providing the high-level, personalized instruction you deserve.
