Get coached by a Class A PGA Professional

nj golf instructor

Hello, I'm Mark Yannotta and welcome to my site. Learn to play golf from a Golf Digest Top 10 PGA Instructor in the State of New Jersey. My approach to teaching golf is simple. I focus on these basic elements:

  • Grip: Golf begins with a good grip.
  • Clubface: Even the pros get this wrong. I will show you the proper clubface relative to the target.
  • Ball Position: Can be the difference between an uncontrollable slice or hitting dead straight.
  • Alignment: Get this wrong and everything above doesn't matter!

Why Choose Mark?

  • Learn the greatest game ever played - doesn't matter if you are beginner or a scratch golfer
  • Minimize your 10 swing thoughts to 1, maybe 2 thoughts
  • Have more successfull rounds of golf this year
  • Bring your game to a new level - quickly!

My goal is for you to leave your lesson with a clear understanding of your swing.

Have a Canadian Tour Player/PGA Class A Member, and a New Jersey US Open Sectional Winner teach you every step of the way.

Proud of my youth students...

I'm proud of young Sophia Ha, third from the right, who finished first in the 2019 Spring Tournament at Farmstead in the US Kids North Jersey Tournament. Wow, I'm so proud of her accomplishments.

Mark, you are the only golf coach we had for her, thanks a lot for building a solid foundation for her. We are very happy and want to share the good news with you😄 - Sophia's Mom
