Reed Petroski

Lead Instructor

1. Experience

With over 15 years immersed in the game, Reed Petroski blends the pedigree of a competitive junior golfer with the refinement of a modern coach. Mentored by renowned instructors Grant Halverson and Harry Rudolph III, Reed developed a foundation that carried him through a decorated high school career at The Bishop’s School, where he captured multiple league titles alongside his teammate Tony.

Reed went on to earn his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from USC. While not a member of the official Trojan golf team, he gained invaluable insight training alongside its players, sharpening his understanding of elite performance and the nuances of the game at the highest level.

Today, Reed’s coaching philosophy is defined by a hands-on, bespoke approach. He elevates players by refining the strengths they already possess rather than reinventing their swings. His passion lies in connecting with golfers from every walk of life, translating his deep knowledge into meaningful improvements that feel authentic and lasting.
