​"Golf can be fun .... let us help you enjoy your game."

Eileen McCaffrey, LPGA Member

The year 2018 will mark the start of my 22nd year at Cherry Creek Golf Links. My LPGA career started when I decided to make a dramatic career change by leaving Metropolitan Life Insurance Company after 21 years of service. Before joining Cherry Creek Golf Links I began my professional career in golf at the private Woodcrest Club in Syosset, L.I.

​I am a Class A Member of the LPGA Teaching and Club Professional Division and active with the LPGA Organization - volunteering to teach junior clinics at LPGA tour events sponsored by Ronald McDonald House Charities. Being a Member of the LPGA affords me the opportunity to continue to expand my learning experiences through various schools, workshops and seminars.

​My love of the game is only overshadowed by my enthusiasm to encourage as many people as possible to learn and participate in the game of golf. In the past I have volunteered to give the students at the Cleary School For The Deaf, in Ronkonkoma, L.I., golf instructions. Teaching these children has been a most rewarding and extraordinary experience for me.

​Along with my schedule of lessons, clinics and golf schools, I am also a Certified Custom Club Fitter for Ping and Tour Edge and a contributing writer for Golfing Magazine.

​Whether you are a beginner or advanced golfer, have a high or low handicap, my approach to teaching golf is the same. My method of teaching stresses the concept of building a solid foundation of fundamentals on which to create a consistent golf swing, while incorporating each student's natural abilities and tendencies.

​My motto has always been one that I follow and hope you will too: Relax and enjoy – golf can be fun!!!
