In 1988, he founded the Junior Golf Club Program at Elmwood Country Club and has since taken a special interest in helping young golfers better understand the rules, etiquette and traditions  associated with the game. In 2008, Frank helped run the First Tee Program at Hollow Brook Golf Club. The First Tee program teaches golf and everyday life values to young golfers of all backgrounds.

Frank is passionate about teaching golf and appeals to all golfers. He enjoys introducing basic swing mechanics to new golfers as well as working with the most advanced tournament players.  Frank believes his extensive training as a certified “Club Fitter” has been invaluable to his teaching.
