Palm Harbor Golf Club Pros
Donna Serino-LPGA Teaching Professional, Class A
EveryBODY is different and I will help each student find their
own swing in ways THEY like to learn. There is no one way to
swing the club and no one way for the ball to reach it’s target.
The student will learn how to build a strong foundation of
fundamentals. I will communicate in a simple and relatable way
so the student can reach their goal in an attainable way.
Tony Rios-USGTF Master Golf Teaching Professional
“Organized knowledge helps organize thoughts, organized
thoughts help organize practice, organized practice help
organize memory, organized memory help organize reality,
organized reality improves results” Tony Rios – 3BGolf.

Did you know? When our Palm Coast community shops
locally, businesses thrive, jobs are created, and we
generate money for the amenities and projects we cherish.
That’s because a portion of the sales tax collected returns
