"Mich" is an internationally certified PGA of America golf professional with twenty years of experience in diverse golf settings, nine as a Head Golf Professional in the United States. In 2008, he became a class-A professional, solidifying his commitment to becoming a leader in the business of golf. As a full-time instructor and Titleist staff pro, his focus was on providing students with augmented feedback from launch monitors and video analysis.
In 2016, Mich became a PGA of America member and quickly recognized the positive influence interacting with fellow professionals could have on his career—and life. In November 2019, he received his highest honor as a golf professional to date: Connecticut Section Teacher of the Year.
Mich brings with him a proven track record of designing, promoting, and implementing player development programs for different golfer segments, including tour players, novices, women, children, and seniors. Mich’s philosophy of "Structure Governs Function" which was studied under Carl Rabito, considers the biomechanics of the golf swing and assists in preventing injuries. This approach to instruction is heavily influenced by active certifications with the Olympic American Developmental Model & Titleist Performance Institute.
