Brian

Brian grew up in a small town in Upstate NY called Margaretville. He was a star baseball player and an honor roll student who spent his summers and weekends working at the local golf course, Hanah Mountain Resort and Country Club, working as a cart boy and a dishwasher at night.

Throughout his high school years he worked at Hanah and learned the ins and outs of golf. From running the cart barn all the way to maintaining the golf course, even handling tournament operations. He also sat in on lessons as often as he could from the Head Professional Herman Keiser. By the time he graduated, not only was he proficient in all aspects of running a golf course but he also learned the proper mechanics and fundamentals of a golf swing and most importantly how to teach it on to others.

After high school Brian joined the U.S. Army as a Combat Engineer and served for 5 years, 1 of those years was spent in Iraq conducting Route Clearance and locating IED’s. During his time in the military, golf stayed a very active part of his life, where he practiced and played regularly. After the Army, Brian became a private contractor for the Military as a UXO Technician, where he cleared old bomb testing sites of explosives and hazardous materials.

A few years later Brian attended The Golf Academy of America and received an Associates Degree in Golf Management. That helped him land a job as an Outside Operations Manager for Legendary Golf Instructor David Leadbetter. Here Brian worked side by side with top players on both PGA and LPGA tours, sat in on lessons and assisted with drills. Brian quickly started doing all of the club repair work and learned to fit players and always did loft and lie adjustments for everyone that came to the Leadbetter Golf Academy.

Brian started caddying for a few LPGA tour players as a fill in and on his off time worked did club fittings and lessons. Not much later he caught the eye of one of the largest golf club manufacturers in the world, Cobra Golf. Cobra/Puma Golf offered Brian a ambassador position to be a rep for their brand. Along with Cobra/Puma, Brian also landed sponsorship deals with Aero-Swing, iconic training to increase club head speed and power. Blue Tees Rangefinders which are top of the line rangefinders and Sweet Rollz Putter grips which are unique and stylish putter grips.

Brian is now branding his own name, Golf With Brian. Where he offers exceptional service in club and ball fittings and lessons of all skill levels. Brian’s plan for Golf With Brian is to have everyone enjoy the game and find true happiness on the golf course. He still caddies and travels with a few LPGA tour players and and continues to grow his name.

Brian’s unique approach to the game of golf is that he does everything with his clients. He doesn’t instruct, he provides details and examples and displays everything he teaches himself so you get to see it first hand. So you know that everything he has you do, he can do himself. “That’s why I named the company Golf With Brian, to let my clients know that they aren’t alone and that we are doing this together” .

Brian doesn’t market a certain swing type and doesn’t have a “magic cure” for every golfer. He starts from the foundation and instills proper set up fundamentals and invites nothing but the best of habits to come to his clients. “No matter what, for anything to last, you need a solid foundation.”

Brian provides the best all around service for everyone of his clients anything to do with golf he knows it.

“The best feeling ever is watching someone succeed and to witness first hand their excitement and knowing you had a part in that!!! No better feeling” .
