Schedule a lesson with Chuck
Chuck joined the Cragun's golf team in 1997 within the first months of deciding to build a golf course. A Summa Cum Laude graduate of St. John's University and the PGA's Golf Professional Training Program, and currently a Class A member of the PGA of America, Chuck has been working in and around the golf/resort business since 1994. Winter jobs in Florida at Innisbrook helped shape the early years until the project at Cragun's demanded year round attention.

Chuck has always enjoyed helping golfers to develop better skills at the game, but feels the main focus of his teaching is to help people enjoy the activity and the time they invest in the game more. "Hitting the ball accounts for only a few minutes during a round of golf", said Klecatsky, "so I like to help people to look around, enjoy the setting in which they are playing, and remember that golf is a game and as such it should be fun!" Students of Klecatsky over the years have rediscovered that this game we play is supposed to be and is fun. Another delight to Chuck is developing better short games with his students. "I feel anyone can develop a good putting and chipping style and this can lead to more enjoyment of the game. A good short game allows you to not put so much pressure on you iron game, because you know even if you do not hit it right next to the pin you have the skills to get the ball up and down." Teaching with a variety of golf schools, as well as being a certified Troon instructor, a certified Mizuno clubfitter all have been influences that have shaped Klecatsky's teaching style and his love for the short game.
