About Scott Cole:

Hi, I’m Scott Cole.  I started playing golf, oh, about 45 years ago!  Man, time flies!

I was lucky…I picked up the game fairly quickly, and grew up in a family that supported me every step of the way.  I played in my first junior tournament at age 12, and was effectively a scratch golfer by age 15.

I played pretty well in high school, and finished 2nd to future PGA Tour player, Ted Tryba, in the PA State high school championships.  Admittedly, I choked my guts out, and gift wrapped the championship to Ted, and it’s a big sore point with me!  LOL

Anyhow, I earned a scholarship to play at the College of William and Mary, where I subsequently goofed off for four years, and realized I would never play professionally.

My best year ever was the summer after I graduated college…I shot my lowest round ever, a 64, and won my club championship for the second time.  That was a fairly big deal back then because our club was loaded with the best players in the Harrisburg, PA region.

But, within two years, I lost my game for the first time.  First, I started to get the yips with the putter.  Those yips then seemed to creep into the rest of my game, and before I knew it, I could hardly find my ball.

So, I basically quit for about three years.

I got married at age 27, and started playing golf again about a year later, as the bug had bit me again.

I got my game back to a pretty good level by age 30, but, by then I had one young child, with another on the way, and I needed to try and get my priorities in order.

Over the next ten years, I hardly played at all.  In fact, I really didn’t want to, because I thoroughly embarrassed myself in 2003 when I played a local tournament, and for three days, I literally did not break 90 for my own ball (playing in a best ball tournament).

During that time, however, I was studying the art of Pai Lum, a martial art with roots in Shaolin Kung Fu, and Japanese Kenpo.  I attended classes about twice each week for eight years, and earned my 1st degree blackbelt in 2007.

However, I had my first mid-life crisis in 2008 (many people probably did that year), and thought maybe I would start teaching golf.

Brian Jacobs, Hank Haney, Scott Cole

In early 2009 I headed down to Dallas to the Haney Golf Ranch to attend Hank Haney’s annual teaching seminar.

For the first time, I actually learned something about the game, and my own swing.  I was lucky enough to receive personal instruction from Hank himself!

Over the next few years I worked on my game and taught part time.  I worked a little bit with former tour player Jim Estes in Maryland, which was a great experience.  Jim is an excellent golfer, and focuses much of his attention on working with wounded veterans.  What an honor that was to work with some of them!

I continued doing my own research into the game, and began to develop my own methodology for teaching.  Unfortunately, circumstances forced me away from teaching and playing again.

However, I still have a ton to offer anyone willing to learn.

Are you one of the few who really wants to get better?

One reason I’ve stepped away from active teaching is that MOST golfers really don’t want to put in the work to get better.

And, that’s perfectly fine!  I just choose not to work with people like that.  Helping golfers reach their potential requires a commitment on my part as much as yours.

But, many golfers seem to think golf instructors can just wave a magic wand and they’ll start hitting it like Tiger Woods with their same old swing.

Not gonna happen.

So, with that said, if you don’t want to put in the work, my trainings won’t help you.  Quite frankly, Butch Harmon and Hank Haney can’t help you either.

Still here?

Good.

Perhaps there is hope for you.
