WELCOME TO  John Bierkan GOLF

My number one priority as a golf instructor is to help my students improve and to encourage their growth and development.

My teaching philosophy is to work with each student based on their own game. I don't teach a strict, rigid method. I believe every golfer has their own unique swing, body type, range of motion, and skill set.

Much of my teaching is done through the use of video, teaching aids, and practice drills. Additionally, I focus on helping golfers manage all aspects of their game including club-fitting, course managment and short game.

Aronimink Golf Club  /  Quail Valley Golf Club

Quail Valley features a spectacular, 280-acre, 18-hole course designed by Tommy Fazio and Nick Price; a shinnecock-styled Clubhouse elevated 50 feet to overlook rolling fairways and more than 60 acres of waterways; and a fabulous river front social club with many wonderful amenities. Every design detail, service and amenity will reflect a commitment to quality.

In the Fall of 2007, Quail Valley opened a state-of-the-art Golf Learning Center. Not only is the Learning Center used for golf instruction but it also houses a full line of demo and fitting clubs.

Aronimink Golf Club was founded in 1896 and moved to its current location in 1926. Donald Ross, the Scottish pro who became one of America’s foremost golf architects, was commissioned to design the course. Upon returning to Aronimink in 1948, many years after it was completed, he proclaimed "I intended to make this my masterpiece, but not until today did I realize that I built better than I knew." Even today we sense this tradition every time we enter the club grounds and approach our club house. Over the past century we have hosted many prestigious tournaments most notably the 1962 PGA Championship, the 1977 U.S. Amateur Championship, the 1997 United States Junior Amateur Championship and the 2003 Senior PGA Championship. Aronimink will also be the host of The Tiger Woods AT&T National Championship in 2010 and 2011.
