Orlando, Fla. (July 21, 2016) – Peter Stern, one of the leading golf teachers in the Metropolitan New York area, has been named an instructor for Golf Channel Academy.
Owner of the Peter Stern Golf Academy at Indian Head Golf Park on Long Island, Stern is among the game’s most influential and recognizable teachers who have established a dedicated network of instruction facilities with the active support of Golf Channel, the game’s leading global multimedia and golf entertainment source.
“I’m very excited to be among these dynamic coaches associated with the Golf Channel Academy,” said Stern, a native Long Islander who has been teaching golf for 20 years. “This is a chance for golf coaches to work together, learning from one another and adopting best practices in both coaching, to better serve the golfing public. My goal is to help our clients learn to play, play better and enjoy playing golf more.”
Launched in April 2015, Golf Channel Academy is the first network of its kind devoted to efficiently growing the business of golf instruction. With 68 locations, Golf Channel Academy will be inviting additional coaches to become part of the network as it continues to grow.
Named one of New York’s “Top Five Instructors” by Golfing Magazine, Stern has worked alongside some of the game’s best coaches. His mentors include noted short game specialist Dave Pelz and World Golf Teachers Hall of Famer Jim Flick.
Stern’s coaching career began as an assistant at the Dave Pelz Scoring Game School in Boca Raton, Fla., where Stern also attended college at Lynn University. After two years as an assistant with Scoring Game School, Stern went onto teach at the Nicklaus-Flick Golf Schools in Cypress Creek, Fla., before returning home to Long Island in 2002 and opening up the Peter Stern Golf Academy.
Among his many professional accomplishments include being named a Top Five Golf Instructor by Golfing Magazine (New York). A certified club fitter, Peter has also appeared as a featured instructor on ESPN Radio and XM Radio and in Newsday and Long Island Golf News.
