Joe Salvaggio helps his students help themselves. Following the pure method of World Golf Hall of Fame inductee Ernest Jones, Salvaggio is one of only six qualified instructors in the world who teaches players a self-correcting swing motion. ”At the Golf Academy at Heron Creek, I teach a method that gives the students the answers to correct their own problems,” says Salvaggio.
He stresses having fun with the training and getting people to relax and enjoy the game. “They get so excited when they hole shots with their eyes closed,” notes Salvaggio. His student range in age from juniors to seasoned golf pros. He’s also experienced in teaching women players over the years and has been active with the Executive Women’s Golf Association. Of course, Salvaggio stresses that proper club fitting and equipment will make another huge impact on a golfers ability to succeed and score lower rounds, and at the Learning Center he is able to fit golfers with a vast array of top golf equipment. He is now offering year-round Stay, Play, and Learn packages for the traveling golfer. Located in Sarasota County, Florida, Heron Creek is a first-class 27-hole championship golf facility with a 28-acre practice and learning area, and a wellappointed clubhouse. It’s just a short drive to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and a five iron to a variety of accommodations too that can be packaged to fit any budget.
A New England native, Salvaggio was born in Needham, Massachusetts and first picked up the game of golf age 12. He graduated from Barnstable High School in 1982, where he was captain of the golf team that came in 8th in the state.
