Instruction

A member of the Professional Golfers’ Association of America’s Quarter Century Club, Tony Malatesta has been in the golf industry for over 34 years. During that time, he has provided instruction to players of all skill levels and abilities from men’s and women’s Club Champions to women, men, seniors, and juniors just beginning their golf journey.

Tony’s teaching philosophy revolves around teaching the game of golf in a simple, effective, and fun manner. While basics like grip, stance, and posture are important fundamentals to all golf swings, Tony doesn’t employ a “one-size-fits-all” approach. He understands that people learn in different ways, so he uses a combination of verbal, visual, and kinesthetic (feel) techniques to help students grasp concepts and make changes more easily. In addition to teaching the mechanics of the golf swing, Tony emphasizes the importance of the short game, and adds insight into other areas of the game such as course management, rules, etiquette, and physical fitness.

Tony offers individual, series, group, and playing lessons. To make an appointment, contact Tony directly at 847-515-7682, or via email at tmalatesta@whispercreekgolf.com

We know that the game of golf can be intimidating. This class will put you at ease with all the elements of the game. Designed for beginners and players with minimal experience, this program is centered on "the basics". Not only will you learn the proper technique, but you'll come away with a clear understanding of which clubs to use, how and where to drive a golf cart, where to go when you arrive, proper course etiquette, and more.

If you have clubs, please bring them with you. If not, just let us know and we can provide them for you. No golf shoes? No problem, sneakers are just fine!
