Teaching Philosophy
Golf is more than a swing. It's a skill that requires sound fundamentals, purposeful practice, and the ability to perform under pressure. My coaching philosophy is centered around helping golfers understand why the ball does what it does, not just how to make it look better. Every lesson is built around a clear improvement plan that focuses on measurable progress, whether your goal is breaking 100, making your high school team, winning tournaments, or competing at the highest level. I believe there are three essential skills every golfer must develop: Control where the club contacts the ground. Hit the ball far enough for their level of play. Control the starting direction and curvature of the golf ball. Rather than chasing swing positions, I coach golfers to develop the skills that lead to lower scores. Using personalized video analysis, modern technology, and structured practice plans, every student leaves with a clear understanding of what to practice, why it matters, and how to improve between lessons. My goal is simple: help every golfer practice with purpose, build confidence, and play their best golf.
About the coach
I believe every golfer deserves a clear plan for improvement. Whether you're picking up a club for the first time, competing in junior tournaments, or working to lower your handicap, my goal is to simplify the game and help you make measurable progress.
As the Lead Teaching Professional at MacGregor Downs Country Club in Cary, North Carolina, I specialize in building golfers through structured coaching, not quick fixes. My coaching combines modern technology, skill development, and on-course performance to create lasting improvement that transfers from the practice tee to the golf course.
I am a PGA Specialized Professional in Teaching & Coaching, an Operation 36 Top 50 Coach, and a U.S. Kids Golf Certified Coach. I work with juniors, competitive players, and adults of all skill levels, using tools such as TrackMan, SportsBox 3D, Capto, and CoachNow to provide personalized feedback and measurable results.
As a competitive Carolinas PGA professional, I understand the demands of performing under pressure. My coaching goes beyond swing mechanics to include practice planning, scoring strategy, short game, putting, and building confidence on the course.
Every online lesson includes detailed video analysis, clear explanations, personalized drills, and a step-by-step practice plan so you'll always know exactly what to work on before your next round.
Whether your goal is to break 100, break 80, earn a spot on your high school team, or compete at the highest level, I'm committed to helping you improve with purpose and play your best golf.

Mathew was very straight forward and didnt try to completely alter my swing. He helped me with grip and set up and it made all the difference.
