About Colin

I started playing golf when I was 12 years old and was fortunate enough to compete at both the collegiate and professional levels. Along the way, I realized something that changed the way I coach.

Too many golfers spend their time chasing the perfect golf swing. They watch videos, make endless swing changes, and hit hundreds of range balls, only to get on the course and play the same golf.

That's not how I believe golfers improve.

I started EZGolf Academy to make learning golf simple and to help golfers build skills that actually transfer to the course. My philosophy is that you don't need a perfect swing—you need a swing that works for you.

That's why I teach the Scoring First Method. Instead of starting with the driver, we begin where scoring happens: around the green. We start at 25 yards and build your game one step at a time. As you develop better contact, distance control, and confidence, we gradually move farther from the hole until you're ready to play from the tee.

Every lesson has a purpose. We identify what needs improvement on the golf course, work on those skills during practice, and then take them back to the course to make sure they're working where it matters most.

As a TPI and Leadbetter Certified Instructor, I also work alongside Coach Danny through Beyond The Swing Performance to help golfers improve the strength, mobility, and movement patterns that support a more efficient golf swing.

My goal has never been to build golfers with picture-perfect swings. My goal is to help people understand their game, enjoy playing golf, and shoot lower scores.

If you're ready to stop chasing swing positions and start learning how to play better golf, I'd love to help.

Testimonial:

I worked with Coach Pidge for 8 months and it completely transformed my game. I went from shooting 100+ to consistently breaking 90, and my handicap dropped from 27 to 17. His patience and expertise made everything click.

Alex D

Testimonial:

I had been stuck around a 20+ handicap for years. Within a few months of coaching, everything became simpler and I started seeing real improvement in both contact and scoring.

Steve L

Testimonial:

I became a single-digit handicap in 6 months working with Coach Pidge. His coaching helped me simplify my swing and become much more consistent.

Karan Anil-Kumar

Testimonial:

Coach Pidge helped me prepare for high school tryouts as a freshman, and I made the team. Now I’m playing golf for Penn State. His coaching made everything simple and built my confidence from the start
