Meet Matt

I'm Matt Dettman, a PGA Certified Teaching Professional with 43 years of experience helping golfers improve their skills and enjoy the game. My career has given me the opportunity to work with players of all ages and abilities. Today, I am proud to share that experience with my students at Angel Park Golf Academy in Summerlin.

In 1983, I became the First Assistant to legendary, award-winning, Southern California PGA Golf Professional, Richard Chavez. Three years later, I was the Head Golf Professional at Twin Lakes Golf Course in Goleta, California.

My love for the game of golf set me on a course of both playing and especially teaching.

I have always enjoyed passing on my expertise through teaching, whether it was Hang Gliding, martial arts, auto mechanics, drums, water skiing, mentoring ice hockey officials, coaching High School golf or being a Certified PGA golf instructor. 

Golf has always been my true passion and I know in my heart that sharing my coaching expertise in putting, chipping, full swing, playing strategy and dealing with the voices in our heads, is what I enjoy most and do best.

Engaging our mind in visualization and attention to feedback from our bodies, rather than a long list of things to "do" correctly each time we endeavor to move the ball, is a worthy exercise.

It is a privilege to be a Certified PGA Golf Instructor here at Angel Park.

I look forward to helping you enjoy this great game as much as I do!​

Why learn with me?

 After 43 years of teaching golf and observing countless golf swings, I've learned something important: We swing the club the way we think!

My job is to help you understand the root causes of your swing problems, not simply treat the symptoms.

Remember that first perfect golf shot? The one that felt effortless, flew high and straight, and left you standing in perfect balance, wondering, "What did I just do? I want to do that again!"
That's the feeling I want to help you discover—and repeat!

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced golfer, I'll help you simplify your swing, understand what works, and develop the confidence to play better golf.

Think Differently. Swing Differently
