Introducing our New Golf Pro - Mike Slayton
Mike is a sixth generation Vermonter graduating from Stowe High School in 1977, and Palm Beach Community College in 1984. After working with his father and brother in the family stonework business he decided to pursue his love and passion for playing and teaching the game of golf by entering the PGA. Mike has honed his craft while working under some of the top PGA professionals in the industry at Stowe Mountain club, and the Country Club of Vermont. For the past three years, he has been the Director of instruction at Cedar Knoll Country Club. Mike has a non-technical teaching philosophy, but stresses the importance of grip, posture, balance, and tempo. Although understanding variations in swing technique can all work, golf ball flight comes down to five basic laws. These laws include club head path, angle of attack, centeredness of contact, club face angle, and speed . The golf swing is a series of movements and positions that must be executed in the proper sequence for optimal results. Mike has enjoyed multiple individual and team wins in the Vermont PGA, and is the winner of seven Vermont PGA major championships. These include the Pro 1 AM championship in 2011, 20 16, 2018, and 2020 Pro-Pro championships and he is the Senior Stroke play Champion for 2017, 2019 and 2020.
