RYAN GORMLEY

I’ve been playing golf for over 20 years. Other than breathing and eating, I’m not sure I’ve done anything else more than practice, play, and think about golf. I don’t believe golf necessarily gets easier the more you play. You get better, then your expectations shift, then you regress, then you get better and the cycle repeats on and on.

Golf can be incredibly frustrating, but it can be rewarding too. Through my instruction, I not only focus on swing mechanics, but the mentality of the player too. Golf is a mentally challenging sport. Unlike other sports, you can’t always try harder or think harder to get better. It requires finesse and experiential learning.

In golf and in life, instead of saying “I can’t”, I like to say “I presently struggle with”. That being said, everyone’s body type is different and there are some movements in the standard golf swing that people simply cannot do because of a physical limitation. I will work with you to modify your swing to best account for these and achieve improvements in your golf game.

What People Are Saying

“If you're looking to learn the basics of golf and have a great time doing it, then look no further than Ryan’s lessons. Not only did I go from knowing little to nothing about golf to understanding the fundamentals, but I also had an absolute blast doing it.

From the moment we started, Ryan’s enthusiasm and passion for the sport were contagious. His approach was patient and encouraging, which put me at ease and helped me focus on improving my swing. He broke down the mechanics of the swing into easy-to-understand steps, and I could tell he genuinely wanted me to succeed.

What I appreciated most about his teaching style was his ability to make the lessons fun. He incorporated games and challenges to keep me engaged and motivated throughout the session. Even when I missed the ball completely, we laughed it off and kept trying.

It's clear that Ryan has a wealth of knowledge about golf, but what sets him apart is his ability to communicate that knowledge in an approachable and enjoyable way. I can't wait to continue learning from him and hopefully, one day, be able to beat him on the course!

Overall, I highly recommend working with Ryan to improve your swing and prepare you for the course. He's an excellent instructor who genuinely cares about his students' progress and enjoyment.”

“Ryan was able to explain ways to improve my shot in a way that I could understand and implemented them within just a few swings. He has a rare combination of being knowledgeable, personable, and relatable in the way he gives advice.”
