INSTRUCTOR:
Frank Donadio, USGTF Certified Teaching Professional

Bio: Born and raised near New Haven Connecticut. Learned golf in early teens as a caddy in a suburban country club. Received college degrees in Zoology and Microbiology. Served three years in the U.S. Army and then worked in the food industry. Since turning pro over 15 years ago, Frank has taught at golf ranges in New Jersey and Wisconsin and is currently a high school golf coach in the Milwaukee Area. He is also an accredited club maker and represents many custom club lines. He recently earned certification as a Golf Fitness Trainer.

Philosophy: I believe that golf is the sport for a lifetime. Fitness and diet can make it easier to learn and enjoy golf; but it is still only a game and a good mental approach can determine much of a player’s success. I believe conditioning awareness can help you with your golf game, so I recommend consulting golf fitness-related websites and publications for information on building flexibility and strength to help your golf game. I enjoy teaching swing and mental game fundamentals, which can be easily reviewed on the practice range and then applied on the course. I use a simple swing approach for beginners and try to relate the golf swing to other sports and activities the starting golfer enjoys.
