Ron received his Master Teaching Professional certification in 2000. And has over 7,000 lessons given. He was the club professional at Arbour Pointe golf course and Emerald Greens.

​

He prefers giving lessons that will give a student a common sense understanding of what is happening in their swing and also gives drills that you can do at the house and the range to accelerate the students' learning.  

 

Off the course... Ron is married to his wife for 30 years and has two daughters that keep him on his toes.. He served in the Navy for 6 years and is a Desert Storm Veteran.  He also teaches systematic theology at his church in Woodbury.  He’s love’s sports, and will watch anything that any Minnesota team is playing. In the summer, if he’s not golfing or giving lessons, you’ll probably catch him on his patio smoking ribs or a brisket.

Greg is currently one of only 10 PGA Master Professionals in Minnesota, specializing in Player Development. My unique approach is designed to help each client understand the learning stage they are currently in and how to progress from the "Technical Details" stage to the "Auto-Pilot" optimal performance stage as quickly as possible.
