Introduction: First off - since I work out of Lakeview GC, all payments have to go through the golf shop. You can pay when you visit the facility for coaching. I graduated from Penn State University with my PGA membership, as I have been a golf professional since 1999 helping recreational golfers improve and enjoy the game more, as well as turning good athletes into great golfers. I've been an Assistant Professional for 11 years, Head Professional for 5 years and Director of Instruction for 7 years. I've spent time in Orlando, Atlanta and now the Shenandoah Valley. In 2018, I was the Head Golf Professional at Lakeview Golf Club, where I am now a full-time Teaching Professional. I've played golf professionally since 2006, having been to the US Open Sectional qualifying twice. I recently shot a 59 and a 60 at Lakeview GC in the fall of 2022, and currently play to a plus 7 HCP. I'm ambidextrous and can play, teach, demonstrate and explain all golf swing styles to RH and LH athletes alike. I've worked with all ages and types of golfers - coaching Junior, Ladies and Men’s club champions, as well as High School state champions, collegiate players and professional golfers. Teaching and coaching is what I do best in life and what I enjoy most. I am happiest when I am helping others. I help out a little bit around Lakeview GC during the week and am available for full-time coaching (Tuesday - Sunday) year-round. We can train indoors on a golf simulator or outdoors in a private teaching area (mats or grass). When? Rain or shine, night or day. Come practice and play the game you love with a professional coach. $1.00 per minute, all-inclusive. Coaching and cost can be shared by up to 3 golfers at the same time.

I first met Andy Stelten on the putting green at Spotswood CC when I was 14 years old. At the time, I was a 12 HCP, looking forward to my high school golf career. After a few tips from Andy one evening at the Short Game area, I found some clarity in my chipping. I started working with Andy soon after, both practicing on the range and playing on the course. After just one summer with Andy as my coach, I dropped my HCP to a 3. I continued to work with Andy throughout my High School career at EMHS, eventually accomplishing my goal of winning an Individual State Championship, and then the ODAC Freshman of the Year at Hampden-Sydney College. I highly recommend practicing and playing with Andy to gain a proper understanding of the golf swing, your unique golf swing, and how to practice properly and with a purpose. He brings a lot of credibility to the table as a great player, but I believe he is a better coach. I firmly believe that it takes a great player to make one. MEADE SLONAKER

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge $1.00 per Minute. I offer 10-Minute “Tune-ups”, 30 or 60-Min “Practice” sessions and 2-Hour on-course “Play with a Pro” experiences. All coaching and costs can be shared by up to 3 people at the same time.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I get to know the student first. Their athletic background, their interests and abilities. We look at your instincts to find a baseline. As teaching is relating so that someone can understand something… I relate the golf swing to many things to make sense of it so you can learn and commit to an approach that will help you. Then coaching comes into play, as we develop a long-term plan for improvement. Lastly, I believe a coach must see you play in order to know how to best help you in practice. Did you ever have a sports coach help you in practice that didn’t see you play? Would you have been as likely to listen to or trust them if they didn’t? It is my opinion that I don’t think the typical “golf instruction” model makes sense to athletes. However, I believe that my approach to teaching and coaching does. I’m great at helping beginners learn the game and even better at helping good athletes become great golfers.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I grew up working at a golf course and knew I wanted to be a golf professional. I graduated from Penn State University’s (Professional Golf Management Program) in 2003 and got my PGA Membership in 2007. I have 23 years experience in the golf business. I am a PGA golf professional, US Kids Golf Certified Coach, member of the Positive Coaching Alliance and an Eyeline Golf Certified Putting Coach. I understand everything about the game of golf well enough to help you do the same, by simplifying the complicated and teaching you an easy, efficient and effortless way to play.
