Kyle’s Background
Kyle started his career with the Canadian Golf Academy in 1999 under the tutelage of Anne Chouinard, and since has attained international experience over the past 12 years.

“Thanks to Kyle we now understand the principles of a proper putting stroke, chip, pitch and full swing, combined with his expert guidance, correction, and drills in applying them. In five lessons over six days, Kyle has significantly improved our game and he has empowered Winkie and myself to enjoy golf much more. Kyle not only possesses excellent communication skills, he is sensitive to various individual challenges, and he has the ability to “connect” on a personal level. His easy manner and sense of humor made the program not only very effective but extremely comfortable and enjoyable as well. Kyle has instilled in us the confidence to feel good about our golf, allowing us to continually improve and better enjoy our game. He represents the CGA at the highest level of professionalism and client service and he is obviously dedicated to a successful outcome. Kyle not only has the gift of prowess in golf, he possesses the gift of being able to translate, communicate and transfer his knowledge with optimum effectiveness, and deliver it with an engaging and positive attitude. Through Kyle’s instruction, we not only improved our golf skills dramatically, we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the process.”
