From the Putter to the Driver and Beyond
Meet John Klein
John has been with the PGA since 1977, serving on local and national teaching committees promoting the game of golf. As an educator and coach, he understands the need for quality instruction to help grow the game.
Beginners Learn: Putting, Chipping, Short Pendulum Swing, Big Swing, and More
Advanced Players Learn: Course Management, Swing Fundamentals Refresher, and More
John’s lessons include on-the-course guidance and analysis of both weaknesses and strengths. He believes students should learn by the feel of the swing and to not be dependent on technology
