A veteran, award-winning golf instructor
“My goal has always been to seek out coaches, doctors, and trainers and learn from the best so I have a holistic understanding of the best way to assist those who come to me for instruction,” says Starchuk. “That means spending time watching the best players in the game on the range at a PGA Tour event, or observing a great coach working with a new golfer. The goal is the same—to learn as much as I can. It is a never-ending process.”
Starchuk has worked as a golf instructor and coach for more than 25 years, having previously worked at Glen Abbey Golf Club, as the Head Teaching Professional at Mississaugua Golf & CC, and recently as the Director of Instruction at The National Golf Club of Canada, Our Country’s finest course. He also operated the #1 Golf School in Canada at Turnberry GC which now has a new home for 2025.
“I view assisting golfers as a challenge that involves a wide variety of experiences and expertise, which is why I’ve sought out leaders in coaching—both in sports and life—to help further my knowledge,” he adds. “That means working closely with physical trainers and medical doctors to understand the science behind the biomechanics, as well as to recognize conditioning issues that might limit what a golfer can do.” That also means having a network of experts he can rely on.
Throughout it all, he’s always working on finding ways to connect and communicate with the golfers he assists, whether that player is a mini-tour professional, or aspiring amateur.
