Lewis Blyth
Head Golf Instructor, PGA Associate

Here at BGA we pride ourselves on being  knowledgeable and experienced teachers with a passion for helping students improve their golf game. At BGA I strive to make people understand their game on a deep level, knowing your tendencies is the key to stepping in the right direction.

Originally from Scotland, I grew up developing my game on the links of Northern Scotland and at 19 took those skills to America. I have played 4 years of collegiate scholarship golf while completing 3 degrees in the process. I am currently an Associate with the PGA of America on track to complete my program in 2026 as well as being the

Director of Golf/Instruction at Belk Park GC.

My main ethos as a coach is to make my players feel as confident as possible through consistency not only in their technical skill but their mental fortitude on the course. I blend indoor, range, short game area and on course coaching to develop a well rounded and powerful game.

Our Main Goals

Our main goal is to be the premier golf academy in Illinois and the surrounding states. We want to have as many D1 and professional golfers come out of this area as possible. Our secondary goal is to provide excellent instruction to all golfers from any age, race or gender to improve at this game. The long term dream being to have players playing on the biggest stages in golf.

When it comes to reach those goals we plan to develop our players in a way that they understand the importance of hard work and preparation. We want them to be able to trust themselves and their swings on the course, as well as being physically ready for any situation on the course
