BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: This camp will provide skill building on all phases of the golf game, golf specific fitness, intro to rules and etiquette, on-course play, daily evaluation, quest speaker, games, gift package, lunch, snacks and closing award ceremony. Since 2001, Steve has been named one of Golf Magazine’s Top 100 golf instructors in the United States.

CAMP INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES OFFERED:
Fine Arts/Crafts, Weightloss, Golf, and more.

CAMP LOCATION: We are located in the Frederick Maryland area serving the Middle Atlantic area. Only 55 minutes from the Baltimore and DC area and 45 minutes from Virginia Area.A lovely view of Sugar-loaf Mountain from the driving range. Check out the courses web site at: Our Camp Website Link: www.pbdyegolf.com

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Since 2001, Steve has been named one of Golf Magazine’s Top 100 golf instructors in the United States. He is currently the only TOP 100 in the Washington, DC metro area and was named the Middle Atlantic PGA Teacher of the Year for the second time, only the second person in history with this accomplishment.

Steve’s Academy is based in the heart of the nation’s capital. He is serving as an adjunct professor for the national PGA Education Committee, teaching the future teachers of the game how to teach. His list of clients includes many of the movers and shakers in the nation’s capital, including some of the best players on the professional golf tours, members of the entertainment industry, and CEOs and presidents of major corporations.

But one of Steve’s real passions is for instructing junior golfers maybe because he knows junior golf first-hand, with four of his own children playing and competing. He has walked countless practice and tournament rounds, both as a parent with his children, as a coach with his team for a private school, as well as a teacher with his many junior students. He has guided hundreds of juniors from the entire MidAtlantic region to college scholarships, again, starting with his own family.

Steve has been involved with junior competitive golf starting with US Kids, AJGA, state events, to college championships and many more in-between. Steve knows the “ins and outs” of junior golf planning and college recruiting, again speaking first hand from personal experience.

Two of his sons played at the University of Maryland and his youngest daughter is finishing up playing for the Towson Tigers. His youngest son, Sean, won the Maryland Amateur, two Maryland Opens, and was the first alternate on site at the 2016 US Open at Oakmont. Most recently, Sean earned his PGA/Latin America Tour card for 2017.

As a player, Steve understands what it’s like to stand on the first tee and be so nervous that it’s hard to breathe. He has played in three PGA Tour events, one Kemper Open and two Anheuser-Busch Classics. He owns one course record of 10 under par 62, which has stood for over 35 years. His personal experience in those extremely stressful conditions has helped him know how to teach his students to deal and be successful in the same competitive situations - tournament golf.

Steve has learned and observed from many of the world’s finest teachers including Jim Flick, Paul Runyan, Dave Pelz, Hank Haney, Martin Hall, Mac O’Grady, Jimmy Ballard, Ben Doyle, Dr. Bob Rotella and Bill Strasbaugh, to name a few. His thirst for knowledge has led him on a quest to learn as much about the golf swing and all that is involved in achieving ones potential and goals. He has learned and communicate the breakdown of the golf swing into simple, easy-to-understand concepts for his students. He believes in building on one swing change at a time, at a pace his students can apply successfully.
