Todd R. Marley, PGA Class A, Certified Head Golf Professional
Todd has been teaching golf to women, juniors and men since 1988. He believes the golf swing should be simple and compact. Players should focus on basic fundamentals and work on grip, posture, alignment, balance, rotation, consistent solid contact, accuracy and follow through. Practice is a must and golfers should focus on a maximum of one or two swing thoughts at a time. His passion is working with juniors and teaching them to learn, love and respect the game. He has been a PGA Junior League Coach since 2015 and it has been a very rewarding experience for him. He has worked with high school players and college players for the last eight years.

Jay Steele, Assistant Golf Professional
This is Jay’s first year instructing at South Suburban as he pursues his PGA management credentials. Jay has been on staff at South Suburban since 2017 and has been closely involved with the Junior Playing Series and Junior Camps since 2019. As a student of the game for over 30 years, he firmly believes the game can be made easier by committing basic ball striking fundamentals to habit. Tension and fear are common obstacles to playing good golf and conquering these mental hurdles can bring immediate positive results to your game. As a new instructor, Jay is most interested in working with beginning golfers struggling with the basics, higher handicappers stuck trying to get to the next level of play and anyone who just wants to enjoy the game more.
