James Ridyard

James RidyardBased in the UK, James became a PGA member in 2002, qualifying to full membership in 2004. James then sought competition in both the U.S. and UK on various mini tours and ultimately his desire for hard work saw him walk away from competition due to what can only be described as poor coaching! A perfect illustration that working hard at the wrong things never works!

Fortunately that same desire became teaching focussed which led James to Mike and Andy and the systematic approach to the swing that has become known as Stack & Tilt. James has attended numerous schools with Mike and Andy, also hosting the only schools in the UK.

Currently working with players from the European Tour, Ladies European Tour and Challenge Tour. When he’s not traveling on tour James enjoys working with all levels of players from Juniors to Elite.

Steve Sieracki

Steve SierackiSteve was born and raised in southern New Jersey where he graduated from Bishop Eustace Preparatory School. After high school Steve attended Arizona State University to partake in their PGM (Professional Golf Management) program but quickly realized that ASU was not the place for him to maximize his learning potential, and moved back to the area to play Division I college golf at LaSalle University and be closer to his long time swing coaches Dave Quinn and Andy Plummer.

Although he enjoyed playing the game, Steve’s passion was always teaching. As a player he was always filming his own golf swing as well as those of his friends, breaking down the pieces and finding ways to improve. He was fortunate to have such great golfing minds as Dave Quinn, Andy Plummer, and Mike Bennett to call upon as instructors and friends. Steve has been studying under these guys for years, and is now one of the premier Stack and Tilt teachers in the country. Steve has taught alongside Plummer and Bennett teaching golfers at all levels. This past year he has spent time traveling various events on the PGA Tour with Plummer and Bennett as well as setting up Stack & Tilt golf schools across the country. Steve is currently Director of Instruction at The Stack & Tilt Golf Academy located in Mt. Holly, NJ.

David Wedzik

Dave WedzikA former Nationwide Tour member, Dave has enjoyed the opportunity to spend an extensive amount of time learning the Stack and Tilt pattern first hand from longtime friends Mike Bennett and Andy Plummer.  He has had the opportunity to teach alongside Mike and Andy at countless golf schools and seminars and is one of only a handful of instructors that understand the pattern completely.  He currently teaches all levels of players, from beginners to tour players.  Dave believes in keeping things simple for the student, that the learning process never stops and that the laws of geometry and physics govern everything that happens during the golf swing. Dave is currently Director of Instruction at The Golf Evolution located in Erie, PA.
