Profile
2004 BCPGA Teacher of the year
CPGA Class A Professional since 1993
John began the game of golf at the tender age of
four under the tutelage of his father. His on-going enthusiasm and commitment to
the game have forged a path for professional success at both the teaching and
playing levels. A former Canadian PGA Assistants’ Champion John has a long and
impressive playing record but it’s as a teacher that John has built his
reputation throughout the golfing community. After a successful decade at the
University G.C. as Director of Instruction, John spent almost eight years as the
Head Professional/Director of Instruction at Westwood Plateau Golf Academy. With
over twenty years of teaching experience, John is recognized for his ability to
effectively communicate and adapt to suit his student’s skill level helping them
clearly understand their swing tendencies and become more self-reliant.
