Mark Speir

Originally from Chicago, Mark has spent the last 20 years teaching golf across the nation. After college and a brief stint on the mini tours, he turned to caddying—where he quickly discovered his true passion: helping others improve at this wonderfully complicated game.

​

Mark has spent the past several years in the Tampa area with his wife, Maria, a dedicated nurse in Tarpon Springs, their six children, and their cat, Snickers.

​

His teaching philosophy is simple: less is more. He tailors each lesson to the individual, focusing on how your body naturally moves. The goal is to help you swing your best swing—not force you into a one-size-fits-all model. No cookie-cutter lessons here!

​

Mark uses a mix of modern technology—such as Mevo+ or Full Swing launch monitor data, slow-motion video, and Blast Golf—alongside more traditional teaching techniques to help you reach your goals. On-course training and take-home drills are also part of the experience to reinforce what you learn.

He looks forward to seeing you make more birdies out at Plantation Palms Golf Club! Stop by for a quick tip or ask about a custom lesson package to fit your game.
