At the age of 13, Dan’ best friend, Julian Freeman, introduced him to the game of golf. Dan then convinced his parents to send him to a local summer golf camp. It was at this camp that Dan truly developed a passion for the game, which eventually led him to the Professional Golf Management program at Campbell University. Dan graduated from the PGA program at Campbell University with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and was elected to PGA Membership in 2007.

Dan is a Co-Owner of Michelle Holmes School of Golf. Michelle and Dan began the school knowing they wanted to make a difference in each child’s life. Their mission is to create experiences that will encourage kids to play the game forever. Michelle Holmes School of Golf has grown to see over 500 juniors each year. This demand has led to the opening of three locations; MHSG @ Greenbrier CC, MHSG @Lambert’s Point GC, and MHSG @ Kempsville Greens GC. Dan is the Director of Instruction at MHSG – Greenbrier and also spends some time teaching at MHSG – Lambert’s Point.

Laura’s passion for golf started at a very young age. Picking up a club for the first time at 5 years old, she quickly discovered her love of the game. Laura grew up on the West
coast of Ireland where she represented her school, province and country at a high level. In 2006 Laura was recruited to play College Golf for Old Dominion University (Norfolk, VA). After 4 years of balancing Division 1 Golf and Academics, Laura graduated with a Degree in Sports Management. Her love of teaching, over competing, was discovered when she interned at The Princess Anne Country Club in Virginia Beach. As an intern at the club, Laura had the opportunity to teach and work with many of their very successful junior classes, camps and tournaments. After her internship was completed, Laura stayed at the club, entered the PGA Program and worked as The Director of Junior Golf.
After 4 successful years with The Princess Anne Country Club, Laura decided to go a different route with her teaching career.

Scott Guzinski

Director Of Instruction @MHSG Lambert’s Point GC Phone: 561-254-6347

Growing up with two older brothers, Scott developed a passion for sports and becoming an athlete from a young age. He grew up in Cedarburg, Wisconsin where he spent the summers developing a passion and love for the game of golf with his Grandpa and spent the cold snowy winters skiing and snowboarding.  

In 2011 his love for the game of Golf and the warm weather took me down to Orlando, Florida where he graduated from PGCC with a degree in Golf Management.  During his time in Orlando he gained valuable knowledge and experiences, along with lifelong friends that he will never forget. 

After Graduating from school in Orlando Scott accepted a position as the Assistant Golf Professional at Shawnee Golf Course in Louisville, Kentucky.  During his time at Shawnee Golf Course his success with Junior Golf grew as he worked with Nike Junior Golf, Special Olympics of Kentuckiana, and The First Tee of Louisville.  After two years of being the Assistant Golf Professional, his passion for junior golf and positive growth of the game landed his a position as the full time certified Golf Instructor for The First Tee of Louisville.  Scott owes much of my success in Louisville to Craig Heibert, PGA and Kentucky Section Board member; Paul Schuchard, PGA and R.G Davis.

In 2015 Scott married his wife, Karen, who also shares as passion for working with kids as a middle school math teacher.  After teaching for ten years in Louisville, Kentucky she accepted a new job teaching middle school math at Moyock Middle School in North Carolina.  

When Scott found out that they would be relocating to the Hampton Roads area he knew that he wanted the opportunity to continue teaching.  After a meeting with Dan about a position at Cahoon Plantation, he was invited to come back the next day and help Dan and Laura with the summer camp that was going on that week.  After watching their passion and dedication that day towards every student, he knew that they lived by the mission of Michelle Holmes School of Golf which is to create experiences that will encourage kids to play the game forever. A few days later after returning from the U.S Kids World Championship he had the great pleasure of finally meeting Michelle. Scott joined the team in 2016 and is an integral part of the operation living the mission every day. As of April 1st 2019, Scott is the Director of Instruction for Michelle Holmes School of Golf at Lambert’s Point. 

“I’m truly thankful everyday that I get to work and learn along aside Michelle, Dan and Laura everyday”, Scott.
