Eric has a Hall-of-Fame career stretching over 20 years as a PGA teaching professional, Long Drive competitor, and author.

Joe Narcisso is a master at teaching the art of scoring. He can teach you how to keep the ball in the fairway, how to put it in scoring position, and how to get it in the hole.

Joe has been in the golf industry for more than 30 years, and he loves sharing his passion with new golfers.

Growing up as a fleet-footed center fielder, Joe was a highly touted baseball recruit. Joe ultimately played center field on (on scholarship) for Menlo College, where he still holds the record for stolen bases.

But golf caught his passion after graduation.

Joe went on to become the First Assistant Pro at San Jose Muni, Deep Cliff and Eagle Ridge, and in Arizona at Longbow and Trilogy golf club. Joe has taught junior classes, clinics, and adults of all skill levels. Joe also taught at the Dave Pelz short game schools, where he developed his expertise around the green.

A certified Titleist club fitter, he has worked with teaching luminaries Mike Malaska and Dr. Bob Rotella, whom he credits for helping shoot a career low round of 65.

Joe’s expertise is the short game, as well as on-course strategy and game management, and he golf competitive every chance he can get.

CLUB FITTING: Joe is also an expert in club fitting, so we direct every golfer who needs new clubs to Joe to get the perfect set.

In Phil’s capable hands, you’ll know how to swing, how to adjust, how to practice, and how to score better with no stress.

Phil is an absolute joy to work with, because he so willingly shares his passion for golf with all his students, along with his devotion to mastering the game.
