Matt's story

From Wyoming to TPC Las Vegas

Born and raised in Cheyenne, Wyoming, Matt's passion for golf started early. A graduate of UNLV, he refined short-game and scoring habits working alongside legendary coach Dave Pelz—experience that still informs how he teaches wedge play and pressure rehearsal today.

As Assistant Men's Golf Coach at the University of Tennessee, Matt helped collegiate athletes build repeatable routines under tournament conditions. Over two decades he has stacked certifications in 3-D motion, TrackMan, FlightScope, and screening-based coaching—always tying tools back to what shows up on the course when it counts.

Today his teaching blends biomechanics clarity with practical assignments you can repeat between visits—so improvement doesn't depend on perfect range conditions alone.

What players say

Beautiful setting. VERY attentive! All his attention was on my son and instruction. Video of every stage. We’ll definitely be signing up for more lessons!

Grady G.

Each lesson builds on the last, giving the student the chance to refine the latest “Matt input” via range time. He explains swing thoughts very well.

James T.

Matt is a genius at understanding the golf swing. Perceptive at diagnosing problems and skilled at the root cause—then explaining it in a way that makes sense.

Nick T.

His knowledge and ability to see what I needed in the first session—plus video and feedback right away—shows why he’s a great coach.

Andre P.

Extremely knowledgeable and does a great job explaining the full story of how to achieve the intended outcome.
