Paul is an experienced Assistant Collegiate Men’s Golf Coach, and Co-Founder and Coach of two different golf programs in Savannah. At his facility while in Georgia, the Club at Savannah Harbor, Paul was recognized as a Patriot Golf Day Top Performer from 2014 – 2016. It is an honor and a privilege to teach our military and veterans who have given so much for our country. His father and brother both served in the Navy and his brother-in-law was in the Air Force for 23 years. 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. 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. 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 believes that in order to become a great teacher one must learn from other instructors and coaches. 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. He has enjoyed working for Troon and believes in their vision as a company and as the leader in the industry.
