Meet Our Instructors

Matthew Bartholomew

Director of Instruction

Class A Instuctor | PGA Advanced Member

I grew up in Tsawwassen and started playing at Tsawwassen G&CC and then moved to Beach Grove GC, once I played more competitively. I moved to Europe after I was nineteen to play professional soccer for eight years, and decided to go to University in Bristol, UK. From Bristol it led me into rowing and competing at Henley Royal Regatta and onto the GB senior men’s National team, rowing in the men’s eight.

 

Over the past 15 years, I have been a full-time golf professional, dedicating my time to specialize in coaching, teaching, fitting and management.  I have been fortunate to win many awards and, moreover, I have been designated ‘Advanced’ PGA status from the UK and ‘specialized’ status from the PGA of Canada. I enjoy working with all types of technology and strongly believe that factual and quantifiable data will help any type of golfer to achieve any personal goal(s).
