About

I am a Class-A, "Certified" PGA Professional. I played on the Tour in '81 & '82. After that short try, I became a club pro and was awarded my membership to the PGA of America in 1990.

I am currently the owner/operator of the Waynesboro Municipal GC in Waynesboro, PA

Every lesson comes with a Video Analysis. I want all my students to see there swing and to see their improvement.

I am also a Certified Club Fitter

I am the inventor of a golf training aid. "The Laser Golf Cap". A putting and chipping training aid. It has been used on the Golf Channel (Twice) a couple of Champion Tour Players use it and it's been featured in a few local magazines

I really enjoy being around people, but what I enjoy the most, is to watch them improve their golf game. I love teaching beginners and intermediate players because when they improve quickly, they enjoy the game more and will want to play more.

I started playing golf about Ten years ago. My handicap was a 36, I am now a 22 and I thank Dan Baker all the time for his input. Great Teacher. Really knows the game of golf and knows how to relate it in simple terms.

The best in the business, period! Daniel is a great golf instructor and a great all-around guy. I have tried a few other instructors before I found Daniel, and their advice was fine, but nothing compared to the quality of Daniels lessons. Not only does he have many years of teaching experience , but he just has a very good eye for seeing whats wrong with your swing. He then gives you appropriate drills, and useful things to think about during your swing that help you to see and to correct your problems.
One of my favorite Daniel-teaching-tools is how he uses videos to capture your swing and then shows it to you in analytics with slow motion, and stop-motion, so that you can see your problems from an objective perspective. The best part is that he can place your video next to a pro golfers video, and can play them back simultaneously in slow motion. Daniel then stops both videos and draws lines on the video to show you where your club is, where your arms are, how your back and shoulders are positioned, and where your legs and hips are, all in comparison to the professionals. Its really quite helpful. Daniel also uses his golf tool invention the Laser Cap to teach as a putting improvement system that can be used by all.
Daniel even takes extra time with me after the lesson by emailing, and sometimes even calling/texting, to remind me of what I learned and what I need to practice. He has emailed me still images on more than one occasion that he took of my swing in progress, with lines and notes drawn thereon. He certainly goes the extra mile. It seems like Daniel truly wants his students to get better and wants us to enjoy the game.
I will definitely keep going to Daniel, both because hes very good at what he does, because hes a positive and personable guy, and because his prices are very, very reasonable.
Whether youre just starting out, are a mediocre golfer with lots of bad habits, or are a good golfer whose swing just needs some fine tuning, give Daniel a try. I highly recommend that you take lessons from Daniel Baker.
