Instruction

John Mascari joined Alpine Country Club as Head Professional in 2018. He is a widely accomplished, innovative, and highly motivated PGA Professional, with extensive and diverse knowledge in all facets of the golf operation. He focuses daily on providing excellent customer service, professionally run events, and a stellar golf experience.

To go along with his work at Alpine, John serves on the New Jersey PGA Board of Directors and has been a champion of growing the game of golf in our state and nationally for many years. He was named one of the Top 50 Junior Golf Instructors in America three times, and serves on numerous committee and advisory boards including the Callaway Golf Senior Advisory Council. He currently co-hosts a weekly golf talk show on ESPN Radio called “On The Tee”.

Although a native New Yorker, John lives in Glen Ridge, New Jersey with his wife and their two young children.

Joe's passion lies in helping others enjoy the game of golf and works hard to make sure his students are able to maximize their abilities. His philosophy is that everyone is different and it is the instructor's job to find the best approach for each individual based on the student's commitment and goals. Joe approaches the student teacher relationship more as a coach than just a one time, one-hour lesson. He's committed to follow through and check-in with his student's ongoing performance as he shares in the interest of improvement.

In between lessons and after hours, Joe is always working to improve and enjoys competing. In June of 2016 Joe played in his first PGA Professional National Championship at the Turning Stone Resort and Casino in upstate NY. He uses his on-course experiences, knowledge of the game, current technology and excellent communication skills to help players of all skill levels.
