Carl Fitz, PGA Head Golf Professional at Newport Country Club,
brings over 15 years of teaching experience to the lesson tee,
training all levels of players from beginners to professionals.
Carl brings that experience together with his philosophy and
custom teaching style to create the golf school at Newport
Country Club. He shares his knowledge and passion for golf with
all students that are eager to learn. He listens to your needs
and quickly grasps your comprehension of golf and your current
abilities to create a lesson plan specifically for you. Carl has
enjoyed a career that has been spiced with wisdom and theory
from such acclaimed instructors in the world of golf as Jim
McLean, Rick Smith, Dr. Gary Wiren and Jim Flick.
No two students are the same. Every golfer is an individual and
needs to be taught a method of playing golf that will bring out
their personal best. Carl's philosophy is to "teach people to
golf, instead of teaching golf to people." While attending you
will learn to become your own coach and possess the skills to
continue to improve after you leave your lesson.
Club Fitting
Carl also firmly believes that your clubs should be properly fit
so you are able to play your best. "Your golf swing is unique to
you - your golf clubs should be too." Carl is fully trained to
analyze your individual swing and find the best combination of
club length, loft, lie, and shaft flex that best fits your game.
