About Scott

We give a comprehensive evaluation of your game & work in collaboration with you to achieve desired outcomes based on each players individual abilities.

I love teaching the Short Game. Anyone can hit a golf ball hard. But it takes a true professional to learn how to control the ball around the green. Knowing the shot shape or approach into the flag is key for the score.

Your long ball isn't winning your tournaments. It's actually that 3-10foot putts that are.

Been in this industry for over 30+ yrs w/ 8 of them being when I was playing for a living while creating my business threshold.

Being that I work on the PGA Tour with GARSEN Putter Grips designer & owner I love that I am able to bring the new products to my clients that they normally don't see for a couple months after I show them. I also love watching my clients improve between weekly lessons.

Lastly, it's a lot of fun working w my collegues. We all want our clientele to learn an enjoy this game like we all do. Like I tell my clients an my friends. Anyone can be as good as we have gotten as long as you put forth the effort. You won't get good by being lazy in the game.

I started teaching and instructing top players because I was trying to become one. My wake up call came back in 2008 season when I failed to make a cut after posting -10 In that moment I knew I was a great player but just wasn't going to the next level so I had to decide on my direction. So I took a step back an asked a lot of my close friends on the PGA Tour and took all that information from them an later decided that becoming a short game coach & helping everyone get that same understanding that we have and that same passion for that game that was instilled in us good players a long time ago.

Been playing this game for 40+ years already. Played collegiate golf at NCC & JWU having the pleasure of feeling what winning a National Title felt like. After college I turned professional in 2005 then tried my luck on the mini tour circuit before realizing my talent + passion for instructing. Since then I have created my own unique style of teaching. I was known on the mini tours for my wedge game & short game so I boast those two things hugely amongst my clients. They call me the Short Game Guru. The next is course management. I feel with my set of skills an the knowledge from past experiences I can help anyone learn what needs to be learned in order to lower their scores an gain that certain mind game that this great game of Golf requires. Especially with still having a bunker in my backyard for everyday practicing. Distance is great but your short game makes you the player you are today and will become.

About the lesson

My typical new client or student routine varies. I like to always go over the proper grip stance and set up. After that I like to see everyone's limitations. What I like to do is I will break your swing down and rebuild it back up all in the same Session. What we try to do at Scott Matuza Golf is we find something that's easy for that student to relate to in their swing. Then there are so many analogies that I will play off in my head an break it down for each student to relate in order to understand and can deliver once I put the golf club back in your hands. That's why I say I am a tough swing coach because I expect my students to practice an I will know if your not cause we should always be improving not always going over the same things.

I instruct every type of player. The better of player the harder coach I will become. I demand improvement or I have multiple colleagues out there that would love to steal your money a not show you anything like they do. My players range from Senior PGA Tour, PGA Tour, LPGA Tour & a little more on the multiple Mini Tours with a few college and High School players. Then I really love to teach all my clients learning the game from the start since there are so many ways to get them to learn since I still work with the top level pros in our industry. I love the multiple levels of players since I play with a couple current tour players when they're in town. Everyone loves when the TUZ gets going on there short game issues.

What are they looking to get out of a private or group lessons with your private swing coach. What are your personal goals. And be honest with your goals and expectations of what you want to get out of a private coach. I will always tell my clients I can tell If they're practicing or not. Reason being most Pros won't tell you this. I for one don't sugar coat anything which is good & bad. But most good coaches can teach one thing 10 different ways. The key to a good coach is watching all of your improvements non improvements. This keeps your coach making sure your always improving because if your not then again your wasting your time & money.

As well as owning my golf academy I am also a PGA TOUR REP for Garsen Golf Putter Grips. We have Stenson, Tony Finau, Corey Connors, Chris Kirk & Lydia Ko to name a few on our team. It’s amazing being around these top players a maintaining a relationship with all the other professionals & amateurs.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
You want to see what area or areas of your game must improve. Then I for one being your coach will look at your entire game from the ground up as well to see what needs the most work. I prefer to work on your Short Game (Putting, Chipping, then Sand play in the beginning to a build your FEEL GAME. After that is created we can work that FEEL through the rest of your bag. Helping you have a game only you know how it works. Since your FEEL & SHORT GAME are the most important areas to concentrate on. Think about it if you hit the long ball but have no control or say you do, when you get into the scoring area of your game. Starting with the Irons & Wedges this is where you need to preform in order to shoot lower scores. Your coach doesn't hit it that long, but inside 160yds you don't stand a chance. Especially on the greens with the Garsen Golf technology I play, It's completely different once you feel what I feel. That's what I think everyone should be working on. Look at the top 10 players on any tour. Then ask me a question cause 90% of them have exceptional FEEL & SHORT GAMES + they are solid with that 7iron to the putter. That’s where this game is played from to create the players we have today.

Perfect! Scott was great! I arranged a two hour group golf lesson for my boyfriends 30th with him and his two buddies. Scott was quick to respond to all my messages and questions. The guys had the best time with Scott and learned a lot. He also didn’t stop right at the two hour mark either. I can’t thank him enough for driving two counties away with under a weeks notice. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a golf instructor! Thanks again Scott!

Scott was a great instructor. He was very patient, helpful and provided great direction. They call him the master of the mid game and I could see why. His instructions improved my swing drastically and I’m looking forward to more lessons with Scott.

Went from little understanding of my golf swing to a full understanding. Scotty teaching me the basics and to clear my head. All in the posture and feel, which he was able to show me through his swing as well as filming my own. Close friend of mine now, would recommend SMGA to anyone who needs a complete revamp, small tune up or anything in between. Top notch.

Scotty Matuza is one of the most well rounded golf professionals and businessmen out there. I have moved North to Orlando but am still given every opportunity to communicate with Scott. He has helped me with a health and wellness program from 3 hours away. He remembered what we had done 5 years ago and was able to send me the paperwork. Along with all that he has introduced me to multiple people within the golf industry. Bernie Garsen was the latest of people I was introduced to. I have followed his Facebook and Tour players for quite some time now. My review of the Garsen Pro Grip can be found on Scott's page as well. I look forward to continuing my relationship with Scott Matuza Golf for quite some time!
