Daniel Black - PGA Head Golf Professional

I am originally from the Philadelphia area and graduated from University of North Carolina – Greensboro with a Bachelors degree in Psychology, which I must say has served me well in my instruction. I turned Professional in 1993, and became a PGA Member in 1997. In the Fall of 2000, I relocated to Florida to play the “mini-tours.”

I've had the opportunity to spend time with and take lessons from some of the worlds top teachers in the game. Sharing this knowledge that I have gained with you gives me great satisfaction and more importantly the opportunity to improve your game and help you enjoy it more. Outside of golf, I love to cook, exercise, fish, play softball, tinker with cars and am a Nascar enthusiast.

Dean Golko - Teaching Professional

I turned professional in 1981 after graduating from Marietta College in southern Ohio and earned my PGA Membership in 1986 and became a lifetime Member of the PGA in 2011.

I had the good fortune to coach at Oakwood CC, Quail Hollow Resort, Maidstone Club, Hawks Nest and Sailfish Point. I have had the privilege of teaching with Dave Pelz, Peter Kostis, Chuck Cook, John Elliot, and Mitchel Spearman. Working with many different top teachers has afforded me the opportunity develop a well rounded view of how to handle the cause and effect of the golf swing.

I live in Palm City and have been married for 20 years to my wife, Susan. We have two daughters, Annie (16) and Betsy (15) who attend Martin County High School.

Allison Lepping - Assistant Professional

At the age of twenty I took up the great game of golf and immediately fell in love with the sport. My enthusiasm for the game brought me to Florida where my passion developed into a career. Through hard work and determination I obtained a Class A Membership into the PGA of America. I am very grateful it has given me the opportunity to utilize my skills and knowledge to help grow the game of golf. Currently, I reside in Palm City with my husband, Scott, who is also in the golf business.
