Rod Lidenberg, PGA Master Professional and "Top 100" Professional, offers top quality instruction to golfers of all ages and abilities. Regardless of whether you are a rank beginner, aspiring amateur or tour professional he can help you reach your full potential.

His teaching philosophy has not changed during the past 35 years of his teaching career. "In my opinion, method teaching just doesn't work. There are simply to many students who don't fit the mold. I prefer to view each golfer as a unique individual and then create the swing that is best for him or her based on their varying goals and abilities."

Rod was recognized by the Minnesota Section of the PGA for his excellence in teaching by the receiving the "Teacher of the Year" award for three consecutive years in (88', 89' and 90').

In 1989, Rod reached the top of his profession earning the title of Master Professional—a distinction held by only a select number of professionals in the country.

However, he is most proud of the fact that he was most recently named to GOLF Magazine's 2007-2008 "Top 100 Teachers in America." He joins an elite list of fellow instructors including David Leadbetter, Butch Harmon and Jim Flick to name just a few. In this capacity, he serves as a consultant and contributing writer for the magazine.

During his teaching career Rod has had the pleasure of working with a variety of PGA, LPGA and Champions Tour professionals including Dave Hill, Mike Morley, Jim Ahern, Howard Twitty, Tommy Aaron, Jerilyn Britz and Hall-of-Fame legend Patty Berg.

An accomplished amateur, Rod competed in two USGA National Public Links Championships. In the 1971 championship, played at Papago G.C. in Phoenix Arizona. He recorded the low round of the second day and finished the four-day event in a tie for 37th place.

After turning professional in 1972, Rod continued to improve his own game playing in a series of exhibition matches with Doug Sanders, Lee Trevino, Laura Baugh and Jane Blalock. While he enjoyed competing at a top level, beginning in 1976, he made a conscious decision to focus his efforts on helping others improve.

He recently was quoted as saying, "It is no secret that I enjoy working with accomplished players. However, I'm equally delighted when one of my students breaks 100 for the first time."
