📈📈 Get Measured Now - Play Your Best Golf 📈📈
Kelan was born and raised in Athlone, Ireland. He learned how to play golf at his local club from the age of 6.
A quick learner, Kelan went on to represent Ireland on the International stage between 2009-2013 before turning his attention to the PGA and in particular, a career in golf coaching.
Kelan’s passion is to make golfers better by finding out what YOUR natural body movements are and applying those movement patterns to your golf swing.
As a Class A PGA member, Kelan moved to the US in 2019 to work under Hall of Fame Instructor, Mike Adams, as his assistant for 3 years. Kelan completed his US PGA Membership soon after and now holds dual PGA Memberships in the US and GB&Ireland.
Under Mike Adams’ guidance and mentorship Kelan became extremely competent in understanding the golf swing, how we are all individual and that no one swing fits everybody.
It’s important to measure each student for their natural biomechanics and work their golf swing based off these results. The first thing Kelan will do with you on your journey to better golf is take specific measurements that outline the pathway and direction we will go with your golf swing.
The knowledge and application of this information has led Kelan to be named NJ PGA Teacher of the Year 2026. He has also been recognized by Golf Digest as Best Teachers in State 2022-26 and Best Young Teachers in America 2024-28.
We can’t afford to guess when it comes to your golf game. ☘️

Kelan is great a picking up on the things I couldn't see. Once he explained it it all made sense. Back on the right track. Go get screened and measured by Kelan.

Kelan is a great coach. Aligning my swing with the way my body wants to move has yielded immediate benefits and also feels like the road to long-term success.
