John Broniek
Instructor
Originally from Chicago, I spent one winter in Dallas in 1993 and never went back. Played professional on the mini-tours for 3 years followed by 25 years of teaching/fitting/golf professional experience in the DFW area. I have been fortunate to train/work with Hank Haney, D.A. Weibring and Scott Robbins Golf Schools. I became a Class “A” member of the PGA of America in 2012. My teaching/fitting philosophy is simple: start with good fundamentals then match the student with the club, swing plane and ball flight that fits them. I try to have fun along the way. A successful lesson is one in which the student improves their golf game and leaves with a smile on there face! Certifications: PGA Certified Professional Master Club Fitter Callaway Fitting Certified Taylor Made Certified Titleist Certified KBS Shaft Certified 3 Fun Facts: l love spending time with my family(wife: Day, son: AJ, dog: Peanut-lab/pit mix).
