John Gordon - PGA Head Teaching Professional
This year will be John's 22th year as Head Teaching Professional at Wayland Country Club. Lessons are offered from April through November, Monday through Sunday, by appointment. Spring and fall lessons are easiest to accommodate. Summer lessons are available as well, though the summer junior sessions bring some time limitations.
John's philosophy is to encourage a logical, athletic swing that works with the player's strengths, changes as little as need be, and works toward successful repetition. At the very least, the student will learn what made the ball fly as it did, and what changes are required to affect ball flight. Balance issues are always addressed, and often, the two primary sources of power, rotation and leverage.
Background
John entered the golf business in 1997. He has taught at Concord Country Club and Lancaster Golf Center. He has been the Head Coach of both Division I college golf (Harvard) and tennis (BC) teams. He has been a PGA Member since 2005, and enjoys working with students of all ages and abilities.

The WAY to Play
Swing better. Score better.
Build your TOTAL GAME
Most golfers spend years collecting random tips that don't fit and don't talk to each other. It's time to stop listening to the noise and put the pieces together. It's time to start building a Total Game.
I don't just teach a swing; I teach performance. My Total Game Improvement Program is designed to lower your scores by connecting the dots between your mechanics, your mindset, and your management of the course.
Don't take a lesson; hire a coach. Golf is complicated and challenging. The best players in the world have an entire team. Start your team. I will analyze and assess your swing, overall game, and mental approach. Using video analysis, shot data, current research, and with over 20 years of experience, I will give you the tools to improve your game and play better golf. Ultimately, we will develop a plan to fix the problems and lower your scores.
