The Back Nine Omaha

Nicolas Polito | Golf Instructor Nicolas Polito brings a unique blend of discipline, resilience, and genuine passion to his role as a golf instructor at The Back Nine. A Houston, Texas native, Nicolas served four years in the United States Marine Corps, an experience that took him around the world, from two years stationed in Okinawa, Japan, to Bali, Indonesia, Singapore, Yuma, Arizona, and Jacksonville, North Carolina. The focus and perseverance he developed in the Corps have shaped everything he does since. After separating from the Marines in 2021, Nicolas brought that same dedication to a decade-long career in the hospitality industry, where he sharpened his ability to connect with people and deliver exceptional experiences. Golf found Nicolas in 2022, following the passing of his stepfather, and it quickly became more than a hobby. What started as a way to honor a meaningful relationship grew into a deep love for the game and a calling to share it with others. He began his PGA training program in 2024, combining his natural people skills with a commitment to mastering the craft. Nicolas’s approach is patient, encouraging, and rooted in the belief that golf is for everyone, no matter where you’re starting from.
