Chris started working with Mark just as he turned 4. It became transparent from the very first lesson that Coach Chris’s passion for engaging junior golfers is rivaled only by his ability to connect with kids at the early age. This allows Chris to teach golf fundamentals through fun, without a child even noticing it.

This summer Mark qualified for the IMG Junior World Championships and US Kids Golf World Championships for boys ages 6 and under.

Though Mark’s golf game is still developing, it is Chris Ardolina who set him on the right path. Thank you Coach!”
