From a young age, Charles developed a deep love for golf — growing up in Northeast Florida and learning the game with his father. Over time, that passion turned into a professional career that took him around the world, and eventually into coaching and club management.

Playing Career & Achievements

Charles enjoyed a long and varied professional career, competing on multiple tours including the PGA Tour, the developmental tours (Nationwide / Challenge / etc.), and international events. 

Notable Tournament Wins & Highlights

• 1989 Jamaica Open — Early career victory, one of his first professional wins.

• 1993 Open Jezequel (Challenge Tour) — Victory in Europe; one of two wins on the Challenge Tour that year.

• 1993 Gore‑Tex Challenge (Scotland) — Another Challenge Tour win, showing that Charles competed successfully on both sides of the Atlantic.

• 1998 Season — Breakout on the Nationwide Tour:

  • 1998 Nike Oregon Classic — Won by 5 strokes.

  • 1998 Nike Inland Empire Open — Won by 3 strokes.
    Those two wins propelled him to a top-10 finish on the money list that year, earning his return to the PGA Tour.

• Over his pro career, Charles recorded 6 total professional wins (2 Challenge Tour, 2 Nationwide/Developmental Tour, 1 Jamaica Open, 1 other) — a respectable track record that spans different tours and continents.

PGA Tour & Major Championship Experience

• Earned PGA Tour cards via Qualifying School — first in 1994, then again for 1999–2000 after his Nationwide success.

• During his time on Tour in 1999, he recorded two top-ten finishes and four top-twelve finishes, showing that he competed respectably among the elite players.

• Qualified and played in the U.S. Open on multiple occasions — though he missed the cut in 2001 and 2002.

• Competed in high-level PGA Tour events such as the 2000 Players Championship.

These experiences at the highest levels of professional golf give Charles a deep well of knowledge about both swing mechanics and course strategy — knowledge he now brings to his students.

Transition to Coaching & Management

After his touring days, Charles transitioned into club management and teaching — a path many top pros take to share their knowledge and stay involved in the game.

• He became a PGA-certified professional and leveraged his playing background to own and operate golf clubs, applying lessons from tour life to everyday club operations.

• His dual experience — as a competitive pro and as a club operator — gives him a unique perspective on golf education: he understands what it takes to play high-level golf and how to build an environment that supports consistent learning.

Teaching Philosophy

My teaching philosophy is centered on helping golfers play better by first improving how their body moves. I believe efficient movement and sound fundamentals create the foundation for a repeatable swing and consistent ball flight. Before making technical changes, I assess how a player moves and address basic mobility, stability, and sequencing so the body can support the motion required.

I begin each lesson by understanding the player’s goals and observing their ball-flight patterns. From there, identifying the highest-priority issue affecting performance, whether it is a movement limitation or a swing pattern. I focus on one clear improvement at a time and use simple explanations, feels, and task-based drills to help players move naturally rather than force positions.

I believe lasting improvement happens when players understand how to practice and transfer skills from the range to the course. Each lesson includes drills that reinforce efficient movement, along with a clear practice plan and guidance on how to apply the changes during play.

My goal as an instructor is to create a positive, supportive learning environment where golfers of all skill levels feel confident, capable, and motivated to improve their game.
