Improving your Game

"Growing up in Rochester, New York gave me the opportunity to learn and develop my life skills through the game of golf. I knew at a young age that I wanted to have a career in golf and therefore attended Mississippi State University. After graduating from MSU and the PGA of America (Class A Professional), I found Fort Lauderdale Country Club to be my home away. Enjoying 15 years of teaching and professional experience is self-rewarding and I look forward to my next years assisting members and juniors with all their golfing needs. My other enjoyments in life are my two wonderful kids (Matthew & Kaitlyn) and the best wife one could ask for (Jennifer). I also enjoy baseball, basketball, football, skiing, and swimming."

Rob’s love for the game started when he first picked up a golf club at the age of 12. Rob played in the Maryland State Junior Golf Association and won a number of events at different age divisions. After graduating from high school, he attended the Golf Academy of the South, as well as Johnson and Wales University. His collegiate career as a player was a success, which led him the mini-tour circuit. Rob came to FLCC in 2006 as an Assistant Golf Professional, working all facets of golf operations. He was elected to Class "A" membership in 2010. His passion to teach and play has always been first and foremost. When the opportunity presented itself for Rob to teach full-time here, he immediately jumped on it. Since 2011, Rob has been the club's lead instructor, working with all levels of abilities within the membership. Rob's teaching philosophy is simple, he doesn't teach a swing, he fixes it.
