Matt lived most of my career in Montana after attending the University of Washington….Matt has been a local PGA member since 2021 and a Master teacher (TGM level II) and club-fitter since 2010. He also holds a variety of certifications in biomechanics and optics.
Matt really enjoys teaching and believes that a client’s progress comes from truly understanding the courses they play, having equipment that fits them, and understanding their own unique golf move.
Matt tees it up regularly in local/ regional PGA events…. There is a sort of honesty in playing the game that he is teaching others….=)
When he is not grinding on the physics of the golf move, Matt enjoys travel, dogs, and boating - basically, doing a variety of water sports.
