Sports Performance Coach
In a unique application of his training, Matt combines his clinical experience with his passion for the game of golf. Matt has an impressive competitive golf record. He has qualified for and competed in 19 USGA golf championships and 10 R&A Championships; all but two of these golf accomplishments (27) he attained after turning 40 years of age. He was runner-up in the 2016 USGA Senior Amateur and 2015 Senior Amateur at Royal County Down. He competed in four USGA championships in 2017 including the U.S. Senior Open at Salem Country Club and the U.S. Amateur at Riviera Country Club. At 57 and 59 years old respectively, Matt progressed to the round of 16 twice in the past 4 years at the USGA Mid-Amateur championships. In 2018, he was selected with six other seniors and 4 mid-amateurs to represent the United States at the Concession Cup competing against Great Britain and Ireland (GB&I). In the 2018, Matt was recognized as the 2nd highest ranked senior amateur in the world. He is currently ranked 7th by WAGR for senior amateur players and 995 for all amateur golfers worldwide.
