Paul is a passionate teacher of the game and enjoys students of all ages. He’s a 21 year veteran of Troon Golf and has worked in both the Georgia and Alabama PGA Sections over his career. He has enjoyed working for Troon and believes in their vision as a company and as the leader in the industry. He took up the game at the age of 18 and was a member of the Hillsdale College Men’s Golf Team in Hillsdale, Michigan.
Paul believes that in order to become a great teacher one must learn from other instructors and coaches. While in Georgia he learned from Andrew Rice a Golf Digest Top 50 Coach and currently under the tutelage of Wayne Flint the club’s Director of Instruction and Top 100 Instructor. Paul has a very simplistic teaching philosophy in making sure that his students understand the fundamentals of the game and then building their swing around the mechanics while implementing a strong program to form a winning golf swing.
Paul is a proud supporter of the military and has served as the coordinator and host of Patriot Golf Days which raises funds for the Folds of Honor Foundation. His father and brother both served in the Navy and his brother-in-law was in the Air Force for 23 years. It is an honor and a privilege to teach our military and veterans who have given so much for our country. At his facility while in Georgia, the Club at Savannah Harbor, Paul was recognized as a Patriot Golf Day Top Performer from 2014 – 2016.
Paul is an experienced Assistant Collegiate Men’s Golf Coach, and Co-Founder and Coach of two different golf programs in Savannah. Students of all ages, parents, and colleagues who know Paul, remark about his passion for today’s young golfers and growing the game.
