| 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. |
