He began his golf career in 1987 at Ptarmigan Golf & Country Club in Fort Collins, Northern Colorado's only Jack Nicklaus-designed course. Gerry quickly developed an intense interest in understanding how the best in the game succeed and how that knowledge could be applied to help himself and other golfers excel. Driven by a natural curiousity about how everything in the universe works, he has developed his unique and effective teaching methodology through a zealous, ongoing inquiry of the world’s best instructors-- their philosophies and methods-- and their success with players. Gerry has been a member of the Deep Cliff professional teaching staff since May of 1999. He has been a golf professional at PGA West in La Quinta, California; Palo Alto Municipal Golf Course; SportSense Golf Training Centers in Mountain View; and Sharon Heights Country Club in Menlo Park. He coached the Palo Alto High School golf team for six seasons, leading the team to four league championships.
