Personal Info

Pluth has been measuring improvement since 1998. He teaches year round at Halla Greens in the Summer, Inside Edge and The Golf Zone in the winter. He has worked with or studied under 125 Top 100 Instructors and has developed a teaching philosophy based around “FUNdamentals,” self-exploration and awareness. He has developed a “Think, See, Feel, Do, Assess” model to make learning golf fun and entertaining while teaching scientific facts, not opinions. Pluth customizes programs/events for groups and individuals of all ages and ability levels based on body type and learning styles, while keeping the learning process fun and interactive.

In recent years, Pluth could be found on the lesson tee at Congressional Country Club, Maryland ; The Raven, Arizona ; Glen Lake Golf and Practice Center , Minnetonka ; Troy Burn Golf Club; Wisconsin ; and Minnetonka Country Club. He was the captain of the Central College Golf team and continues to compete in mini-tour and section events. Currently he is helping people achieve their golfing goals at The Bunker Indoor Golf Center in Minnetonka and Chanhassen Recreational Center in Chanhassen. He will be returning to Halla Greens when the golf course opens this spring.

Pluth believes in measuring improvement for each individual while ensuring they have fun, freedom, power and belonging. To accelerate the learning process he strives to create this safe type of environment for each program. Just like no two people are alike, no two programs are exactly alike. Everyone should be treated as an individual since everyone thinks, feels and observes the world differently.
