Paul's experience on the PGA and Nike Tours, where he carded seven top 10 finishes, coupled with more than 25 years experience as a golf instructor provides the foundation for his profound understanding of the game. That said, its’ not surprising that Paul is noted as one of Golf Magazine's Top 100 instructors.
Prior to arriving at Kostis/McCord Learning Center, Paul served as the director of golf instruction at the prestigious Lely Resort Golf and Country Club in Naples, Florida. While at Lely Resort, Paul was awarded numerous teaching awards, including South Florida Section of the PGA Teacher of the Year. Paul has been featured in several golf-related media including The Golf Channel’s “Golf Academy Live” and Golf Magazine, to name a few.
Paul credits Peter Kostis as a positive influence on his teaching career. "I've worked with Peter Kostis on my own golf game for 22 years and he's helped me tremendously. I look forward to passing along to my students what I've learned from Peter over the years."
In his 12th year at Kostis/McCord Learning Center, Jeff approaches golf instruction with a personable style that allows his students to get the most of each lesson. Jeff credits Peter Kostis and Paul Trittler for his keen understanding of the game; an understanding that Jeff developed into his own practical and effective instructional method.
Jeff is a graduate of New MexicoState’s Golf Management Program and is currently a Class-A member of the PGA of America. His competitive golf career includes appearances at the 2005 PGA Championship at Baltusrol, 2003 Phoenix and Tucson Opens and success in Southwest Section events in 2002 earned him the title of Southwest Section PGA Player of the Year.

In 2009 Andrew Getson joined the GrayhawkLearningCenter staff. He brings with him a decade of experience gained on the Asian, Australasian and Nationwide Tours. During that time he carded a handful of top 10 finishes including 1st place in the Sedona Open, 2nd place in the Thailand Masters and 2nd place in the South Australian PGA Championship.
Getson’s successful golf instruction career is highlighted by a few of his high-profile clients including President Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew. But his ability to effectively communicate the fundamentals of the game of golf is equally helpful for his non-head-of-state/royalty clientele.
Getson began his life in golf in much the same way as a few other notable Australian golfers such as Stuart Appelby, Robert Allenby, Aaron Baddeley and Geoff Ogilvy, at the prestigious Victoria Institute of Sports. From there he went on to play for one of the highest regarded teams in the country – Victorian State Golf Team – where he earned a few state titles.

Stan Utley turned professional in 1984; and during his career, amassed quite a list of accomplishments on the PGA, Buy.com, and Nike Tours. His professional victories include PGA Tour 1989 Chattanooga Classic; Buy.Com and Nike Tours 1995 Miami Valley Open; 1995 Louisiana Open; and 1993 Cleveland Open.
Known as the “short-game guru,” Utley is directly responsible for the improved putting strokes of numerous PGA Tour players, including Sergio Garcia, Dudley Hart, Kevin Streelman, Jay Haas, Peter Jacobson, Jeff Sluman, and Craig Stadler. In fact, Golf Digest labeled him as “Golf’s latest superstar guru,” and Sports Illustrated named him as "the hottest instructor in golf."
“I’m a teacher, but I’m also a player – so I understand how important shooting a score is, even ahead of technique,” said Utley. “What I do is help my students shoot those lower scores, by sharing proven and tested fundamentals about the short game and helping tap into the creativity and imagination every player possesses. I want you to hit it better, and I want you to think and feel better too. I’m blessed to have a passion for people and for encouraging them to get more enjoyment out of their golfing experience. I’m also fortunate that my students – amateur and professional alike – have used my techniques to improve and win tournaments. I look forward to helping you make more birdies too.”
