Scott Sklar

HEAD GOLF PROFESSIONAL & DIRECTOR OF MEMBERSHIP

During the early stages of Scott’s career, he learned from a number of Top 100 instructors, many of whom coached PGA pros. Through this experience, he developed his own teaching philosophy, which he has successfully deployed for more than a decade. 

Scott respects each golfer’s unique swing style. Rather than teaching mechanics, he focuses on the hands at the “impact zone,” as established in Bobby Clampett’s seminal book, The Impact Zone. He teaches the five swing dynamics for finding the better impact zone for all golf shots, and says, “It makes me feel good every time a student finds the proper swing dynamics and lets one loose during their lesson.” Scott’s goals for the short game are to create critical consistency and dramatically lower scores; for the long game, to create optimal distance and accuracy.  

In 2009, after completing the PGA Golf Management Program at Methodist University in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Scott graduated with his Class A PGA Certification and a degree in Business Administration. Before joining Meadia Heights, he fine-tuned his teaching style as Head Golf Professional at Patriots Glen and Tanglewood Manor.
