Ryan L. Thomas, PGA
Director of Golf OperationsI’m a PGA Professional who didn’t grow up playing golf. I found the game later in life, and like a lot of new players, I had a steep learning curve. But instead of getting discouraged, I became fascinated with the process of improvement. I dug into technique, patterns, feedback, and drills, and over time I turned that curiosity and persistence into real progress. That journey is a big part of why I love coaching today. I understand what players go through as they learn, because I’ve lived it myself.
Before becoming a PGA Professional, I worked as a Quality Engineer in the video game industry, where my role was all about problem-solving, precision, and breaking down complex systems into clear steps. That background and the skills I obtained from it fit perfectly with golf instruction. I use a mix of technology, video feedback, and feel-based coaching to make things simple, understandable, and fun.
My coaching philosophy is built around clarity, confidence, and enjoyment. Golf can be challenging, but it’s also one of the most rewarding games out there and my goal is to help players of all ages get better while actually enjoying the process. I focus on creating an upbeat, supportive environment where learning feels easy and progress feels exciting. Whether you're just starting or looking to take the next step, I’ll meet you where you are and help guide your path forward. Golf is meant to be fun and every lesson is built around helping you experience more of that joy each time you play.
