My Story

Jeff’s knowledge and experience as a college golf advisor was developed over his 15 years as a Director of Golf at three full-time residential junior academies in Florida, including Core Golf Academy (2006-2016), International Junior Golf Academy (2017-2019) and Sean Foley Performance (2019-2022). In his role at each academy, his main focus was to ensure the quality of the golf program and monitor the progress and development of each and every student while assisting them find their “best fit” school and golf team at the collegiate level.

A life-long member of the PGA of Canada, Jeff’s passion for assisting junior golfers began when he was the Head Golf Professional at the National Golf Club of Canada, where he was also the lead instructor for the famed “Elite Junior Program” under the tutelage of former PGA Tour Professional and Canadian Golf Hall-of-fame inductee Ben Kern. Through all of his experiences in his career in junior golf, Jeff gained the knowledge and skills necessary to help his clients reach their goals as junior golfers and future collegiate players. This can only be accomplished by helping them become the best candidate possible, while guiding them on connecting and communicating with college coaches.

Having relationships with many college coaches at all levels, Jeff has a very strong knowledge of the key performance indicators they look for in a recruit, as well as the intangible skills and attributes a prospect will need to possess to attract attention and create opportunities.

• World-class communication skills

• Expertise in the recruiting rules and timelines
