testimonials

"My only hesitation to giving Marty an excellent review is that I will be giving away all of my secrets... Marty is a GREAT teacher. I’ve been around the game for 50 years and can tell you that Marty knows it really well. I can also say he is impossibly patient. If you can spend the money and want to play better, you should sign up today."
Chris H
"If you are serious about your golf and you are not yet on Team Catalyst, I do not think you are putting yourself in the best place to succeed. Marty knows what he is doing with the golf swing and he teaches the TPI way of golf. Catalyst golf allows me to take my own golf as seriously as I want, while feeling like the team around me is excited for where I want golf to take me."
Andrew G
"I have been working with Marty for about 18 months now. I can say two things with certainty: (1) he has helped me understand the golf swing in a much deeper way such that I can quickly address swing issues on the course and in practice, (2) he has pushed me to improve my fitness, which has not only benefited my golf game but my health overall. On net, my ball striking is much more consistent and I am generating more power with less effort."
Bryan R
"Working with Marty and Catalyst Golf has been nothing short of fantastic. Their wealth of golf knowledge and commitment to continuous improvement is something I’ve never seen in my past golf instruction experiences. I strongly recommend checking out their program if you’re looking to improve your golf game."
Tyler B
"Marty’s patience and ability to communicate new feels are two of his biggest strengths. Whether you’re a new golfer looking to build sound fundamentals or a seasoned golfer who is trying to get to the next level, Marty will be able help you. I’ve been a golfer for 20 years and am now hitting the ball better than I ever have."

How did you start doing this type of work?

My father shared his passion for the game when I was young. My first memory was watching him hit golf balls at Tower Tee Driving range. I must have been small as I remember my feet were dangling from the bench. Golf was the glue that always kept us together.


While running my DJ entertainment business, (mostly evenings) I met the lead instructor for the John Jacobs Golf Schools who would become my mentor. I took a part-time job for the summer to help out. Witnessing the jubilation of the golfers as they achieved goals they thought were unattainable reignited my passion for the game. At that moment I knew what I wanted. Within 6 months I was teaching full time collecting every bit of knowledge I could to help golfers reach their potential.


Later, in 2009 I discovered the Titleist Performance Institute and was in awe of the system of assessment, evaluation and building coaching programs to help players reach a higher-level of performance.
