Clinton Schmaltz
PGA of Canada Class 'A' Teaching Professional
Clinton has been a PGA of Canada member since 1993 and has taught thousands of golf lessons in his career. He takes a flexible approach to teaching, taking into account that everyone is unique in how they move with the club. With the use of today’s modern technology Clinton believes he can make any level of player enjoy the game more and improve their skills. In addition to focusing on your golf swing Clinton believes that to be the best player you can be you need to look at nutrition, fitness, and the mind.
Along with teaching Clinton has been helping clients get fit into the correct equipment. He is certified with most major brands and with the use of our Flightscope technology he can ensure you get clubs custom-designed to fit you.
Mark Sheardown
PGA of Canada Class 'A' Professional
Mark joined the PGA of Canada in 2008 and has been teaching ever since. His outlook is to keep things simple during each lesson, by providing a couple of key components for the golfer to work on in the short term. Oversaturating someone with knowledge can sometimes backfire, and it can be hard to retain information. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is a comfortable and confident golf swing. Practice is your friend, and Mark will make sure you’re leaving your lesson with a game plan and a path towards future success!
Mark is also a certified club fitter and can provide knowledge regarding any of the equipment The Willows carries and can provide custom fittings using both Flightscope and Simulator technology.
Cody Callaway
PGA of Canada Golf Professional
Cody began golfing at a young age and has loved it ever since. Cody joined the PGA of Canada in 2019 and is working on obtaining his Class A status. He believes that everyone can enjoy golf and reach their highest potential through fitness, diet, practice and play. Cody’s view on lessons is to make sure every student understands why the golf ball does what it does and how making small adjustments can have a big impact. “At the end of the day, I want my students to be able to take the information from a lesson and be able to understand to a point where they can work on the range with confidence and enjoy every round of golf they play”.
Golf is a sport that takes time and repetition for you to feel confident and Cody is there to work through the process with you whether it be on the putting green, chipping green, driving range or at a table to discuss course management and mental game aspects. Cody is ready to get all types of players feeling and playing their best.
Mitch Bach
PGA of Canada Golf Professional
The newest addition to The Willows esteemed team of PGA of Canada professionals, Mitch has a long history as a competitive player, and now he’s giving back to the game as a coach and teacher. Born and raised just north of Calgary, Mitch has competed among some of Canada’s best golfers, representing his home province of Alberta in team play, and owns two provincial gold medals from his days as a junior.
Mitch officially joined the PGA of Canada in the spring of 2021 after discovering his passion for coaching. He understands the value of hard work, and the frustration which can (and likely will) occur for every golfer, regardless of skill level. That’s why he believes developing a healthy relationship with the game, regardless of experience, is the key to becoming a better golfer. His goal as an instructor is the same goal you have — whether it’s to cure that pesky slice, or get dialed in for a big tournament, he’s committed to helping you succeed. Keeping up with his mission to grow the game, Mitch is also a co-founding instructor for Plus Fores, a teaching program designed for women who want to become better golfers.
Away from the course, Mitch is a die-hard Calgary Flames fan and a terrible watercolour painter who can often be heard saying “it’s been a day.”
