Trevor Hessel

It was there that a love for the game turned into career aspirations and a decision to attend the Golf Management Business program at Niagara College. He has since worked his way up from an entry level role as an apprentice golf professional to achieve certification as a Class A Teaching Professional with the Canadian PGA.
Trevor is a highly qualified golf instructor with several years of teaching experience. Having spent 7 years as an Assistant Golf Professional at high end golf courses in Muskoka, not to mention 3 years experience as a Program Co-ordinator and Director of Golf Instruction onboard Princess and Carnival Cruise Lines.
Trevor's desire to grow the game of golf, a love for people and a desire to help others improve has lead to the creation of the Momentum Golf Academy at Royal Ontario. Momentum Golf offers lesson programs, camps and clinics for juniors, beginners and veterans.
