It was during these years that he enrolled and graduated from the Canadian PGA Professional Golf Management Program.

More recently Trevor has been helping players of all abilities play better golf as a Senior Instructor at The Academy. Over the years he has taught players of all ages and abilities in many forums ranging from corporate group clinics to private sessions.

“The biggest misconception of golf instruction today is that you have to first experience major setbacks before seeing better results. This simply isn’t true for the vast majority of people I see each day. The feeling of a more solid, consistent golf shot is something you will experience right away!”
