About Us | smash-factory-golf

With 16 years of combined experience in Swing Analysis and Bioswing mechanics, we are able to pinpoint any swing faults within minutes. After determining the areas of improvement, we customize an instruction and practice plan for you. Each and every individual is unique; therefore, each and every instruction and practice plan is different. We do not use one specific model for this reason. It is our goal to teach what is best for you and help you to achieve a more efficient and consistent swing resulting in a better golf game.

Rob’s journey in golf instruction started when his coach and mentor asked him to lead junior clinics at

the age of 15. He has now been a PGA Professional since 2012 and has been teaching professionally

since college. Before Rob’s move to New York, he was a PGA Teaching Professional and Junior Golf

Director at one of Maryland’s premier facilities, the Baltimore Country Club. While there, he was

awarded the US Kids Golf Top 50 Teacher Honorable Mention award. Recently, Rob has been studying

bioswing mechanics. He believes that it is crucial to understand how the body works in order to fully

help each individual. His experiences have allowed him to develop and be able to coach anyone, male or

female, of any age.

“We do not subscribe to one specific methodology of teaching. We do believe in science and technology, and the use of this in varying ways to help our student’s progress towards their goals. At the Ravenwood Golf Academy, we are able to give each student a positive atmosphere and a plan for success.

Fun and customized interactive practice is the best way to improve our games and work towards achieving our goals.” – Rob Comerer
