Gary Hoffman

Golf Professional

Born and raised in Pottstown, PA, Gary has spent the past decade as an active member of the Collegeville community. With over 20 years of experience in the golf industry, I bring a deep passion for the game and a commitment to helping others improve their skills and overall enjoyment of golf.

As a former Teaching Professional at Penn Oaks Golf Club, I spent five years overseeing the Junior Golf Program and providing both group and individual instruction. In addition to my teaching experience, I am trained in golf club repair and fittings, ensuring that every aspect of a player’s game—both technique and equipment—is optimized for success.

My teaching philosophy is centered on the belief that every golfer has a unique swing and personal goals. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, I focus on identifying key fundamentals that connect all great swings, helping students understand their individual mechanics and maximize their potential. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, my goal is to guide you through a personalized learning process that enhances both your skills and love for the game.
