ABOUT
Coach Bret
Bret has been involved in the game of golf since the beginning, as his grandfather was a PGA Professional and golf course owner, and his father a golf course superintendent. He fell in love with the game at age 14, often playing up to 45 holes a day.
After graduating from Randolph-Macon College, Bret began his golf career as an assistant golf professional, completed his education to become a PGA Professional, and was quickly drawn to golf instruction. He has taught all levels and ages of golfers during his time at The Crossings, Royal New Kent Golf Club, Stonehouse Golf Club (Head Golf Professional), The Dominion Club, and Willow Oaks Country Club (First Assistant Golf Professional/Junior Golf Coordinator).
In 2018, Bret turned his attention to teaching full time and accepted the Director of Instruction position at The Federal Club, where he creates and runs programs for all ages and abilities.
Teaching Philosophy: Each student that comes to me has a different set of circumstances, which includes physical ability and capability, learning style, desired outcomes for their golf game, golf history, and the amount of time that they are able to play and practice. It’s essential for me to have a conversation with a new student to start to find out their set of circumstances, and then adapt my method of teaching to suit what THAT person needs to improve. I love to not only give my students feedback during a lesson, often with the use of technology, but enable them to improve with practice plans or drills that give them feedback when they are not with me to accelerate the learning curb.
