Ryan Stugis, Teaching Professional, Groove4Golf

Ryan teaches AimPoint — a green-reading system built on feel for slope, not guesswork. You learn to trust what your feet are telling you and execute with repeatable accuracy. His clients typically drop 2–3 putting strokes per round.

He integrates AimPoint with TrackMan swing analysis, so lessons cover both sides of the game in one session. Better ball-striking and better green-reading on the same card tends to move the needle faster than working on one without the other.

PGA of Canada Class “A” Member since 2010. In 2025, Ryan and Finlay posted 81 Stableford points in a Pro-Pro playoff and placed 4th at the PGA of BC Pro-Assistant Championship, shooting -19.
