I'm Eric J. Mac Donald, a dedicated PGA Professional with over a decade of experience helping golfers at all levels improve their game through a blend of proven systems, personalized coaching, and a deep understanding of performance. I hold an MBA from Boston University and multiple elite certifications, including TPI (Titleist Performance Institute), TrackMan Level 2, SAM PuttLab Level 3, and more—each representing a commitment to data-driven, results-oriented instruction.
In 2023, I was honored as the Assistant Golf Professional of the Year by the South Florida PGA Southeast Chapter, a recognition of both my leadership at The Old Course at Broken Sound and the lasting impact I strive to make on every student and facility I serve.
My teaching philosophy focuses on five key areas: the Power Game, Short Game, Putting Game, Scoring Game, and Mental Game. Whether it's helping you gain 15+ yards off the tee, sharpen your wedge control, or build the mental toughness required to compete under pressure, my approach is comprehensive, individualized, and rooted in modern sports science.
I’ve competed in PGA Tour and high-level regional events, and I bring that competitive insight into every lesson, blending tour-tested strategy with actionable drills and feedback. My ultimate goal is to help you become a confident, well-rounded player—not just someone who hits balls, but someone who plays the game with purpose and mastery.
I aspire to become one of the most respected PGA Professionals in the country, leading not only through instruction but through mentorship, innovation, and a genuine love for the game. Whether you're a competitive golfer, a beginner, or a facility looking to enhance operations and member engagement, I’m here to help you elevate every aspect of your golf experience.
