Background Training and Experience
As long as Mike can remember, he’s been around golf.
His father, a life member of the PGA, handed Mike his first
club when he was just five years old. He joined the golf
team at Hightstown High School where he was the number one
player and MVP for all four years. In 1976 he won the Delaware
Valley School Championship. In 1977 he won the NJ State
Public Links Junior Championship and placed second at the
Rutgers Junior Championship.
Mike became a golf professional in 1978, and was elected
to PGA membership in ’84. He has been a teaching professional
in six New Jersey country clubs including the Head Golf
Professional position at the Madison Golf Club, Madison,
NJ. Mike uses this valuable experience at his own Mansfield
Golf and Learning Center. As the owner/operator he enjoys
teaching golfers of every age and level of experience.

Teaching Philosophy – My teaching philosophy
is simple. I believe you need a solid foundation of the
basics in order to improve your ball striking ability. A
goal-oriented structured plan is necessary to improve your
knowledge and understanding of the swing.
Methodology – My methods include
communication, listening, visualization, drills, mirrors,
video and a hands-on approach.
