Guaranteed Results Based Golf Coaching
Gary Cardoza Jr., PGA has been coaching golfers for more than 30 years. He is a proud member of the PGA of America, The Proponent Group, The Skilled Coaching Alliance, a U.S. Kids Certified Coach, and a Flowcode Mental Game Master Coach. From 2009 until the publication’s conclusion in 2018, Gary was recognized as one of New England Golf Monthly’s Top 25 Instructors in New England. He has also participated in the Golf Digest Best in State balloting and voting process for several selection cycles including the most recent.
Gary’s singular focus with every student is improving on-course performance through a long-term, holistic approach to player development. Unlike traditional swing instructors who emphasize mechanics alone, Gary’s coaching philosophy integrates all aspects of the game. A significant portion of long-term coaching programs takes place on the golf course, where players can apply technical skills in real playing conditions rather than confined to the range or simulator. While technical refinement remains important, validating those skills on the course is essential for sustained improvement.
In addition to on-course coaching, Gary offers comprehensive mental game training in partnership with Dr. Rick Sessinghaus and FLOWCODE ACADEMY, longtime coach of PGA Tour star Collin Morikawa.
Long Term Player Development Programs
During your initial lesson, you’ll complete a detailed player assessment to identify key priorities for improvement. If you're enrolled in a longer term coaching program, we'll play 3 holes either in the simulator or on the golf course if the course is available. Together, you and Gary will establish clear, measurable goals and develop a personalized practice plan designed to accelerate progress efficiently. All lesson notes, practice plans, and progress updates will be organized in a secure online training space, which remains accessible to you as long as you’re an active client. This interactive platform serves as a two-way communication hub, allowing you to ask questions, share updates, and receive feedback between sessions — essentially giving you a coach in your pocket, 24/7.
Single Individual Coaching Sessions

In a one-on-one coaching session, the focus is on you—your swing, your goals, and your fastest path to improvement. We’ll break down your technique and movement patterns, identify what’s really holding you back, and create a clear plan to move you forward.
You won’t just be told what to change—you’ll be given simple, effective drills designed around proven motor learning principles so your new motion actually sticks. Every session is built to help you train with purpose, gain confidence, and see results that carry from the range to the course.
Gary’s Coaching Commitment
Gary is fully committed to your improvement. If the goals we set together for any longer term coaching plan are not achieved by the target date we agree upon, he will continue coaching you at no cost until those goals are met.*
Coaching Philosophy
Gary’s approach centers on enhancing your natural athletic movement rather than rebuilding your swing from scratch. His coaching integrates technical development, skill acquisition, mindset training, and on-course application—creating a complete system for lasting improvement.
Your personalized practice plan will include structured at-home drills, focused on-course sessions, and game-based exercises designed to elevate shot-making and adaptability. This blend of movement pattern refinement and game-like training bridges the gap between practice and performance.
Training takes place at Pine Oaks Golf Course, utilizing both the indoor Flightscope studio and the course itself to confirm full ball flight and develop skills in real playing conditions. Pine Oaks also features a comprehensive short game area and bunker for practicing pitching, chipping, and putting techniques.
To help you perform at your best, Gary incorporates advanced technology including TrackMan, Flightscope, HackMotion, Blast, Sportsbox AI 3D Imaging, and more—tools that deliver precise feedback and accelerate progress.
