Liz Gentile LPGA Teaching Professional

LPGA Teaching Professional Liz Gentile is currently enjoying her fourth season teaching golf at D. Fairchild Wheeler GC. Liz has been an active member of the golf teaching community in the Metropolitan New York area and Southwestern CT for over 25 years.
During her career Liz Gentile has worked alongside some of the very best professionals in the Metropolitan NY area. The instruction services that she offers now largely grew and evolved from this solid foundation and her focus on teaching the game and the swing, along with her excellent communication skills and strong interest in her students, have helped Liz become a sought after instructor in our area.

As a golf professional, Liz has extensive experience in playing tournament golf as well as teaching and enjoys keeping her game sharp by competing in regional and national events while still devoting most of her energies to helping others play the game. In 2008 Liz was elected Secretary of the LPGA Northeast Section giving her a greater opportunity to contribute and to interact with her fellow professionals locally, regionally and nationally.

Liz and her family have lived in Fairfield for over 23 years. "Being a member of the community where I teach is an especially rewarding experience for me and each day I look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones. My goal is to pass on my knowledge and use my skills as a player and a teacher as effectively as possible to help others learn and improve and enjoy the game of golf."
