While growing up in Holmes, New York, Kathryn’s father introduced her to the game of golf when she was 8 years old, teeing off a passion that continues today. She earned a collegiate scholarship to the University of Memphis to play Division 1 golf, and during her senior year the team won their Conference Championship. After college, Kathryn played professionally on the Suncoast Ladies Tour and the Futures Tour for two seasons, until she found a calling to teach and began developing and fine-tuning her skills as an instructor. Prior to first working with Patrick at the Broad Run Learning Center in 2019, Kathryn grew as an instructor and golfer throughout the United States, from Massachusetts to Washington to Florida, and eventually landing in Virginia. She is a huge part of the PMC Golf Academy team at Stonewall Golf Club, bringing her expertise and love of the game to camps, group classes, junior academy classes, and private lessons.

To put it plainly, PMC Golf’s Owner and Director of Instruction Patrick McCarthy loves golf. Like many others, it all started when he and his father watched Tiger win the 1997 Masters. He was hooked after that. Patrick graduated from the Professional Golfers Career College in Hilton Head, SC, and has been passionate about teaching the intricacies of the sport to all ages ever since. This is his fourteenth year teaching full time and ninth year teaching in Prince William County. He was voted Best Golf Instructor of Prince William County by InsideNova Magazine in 2017 and 2019. He was previously the Director of Instruction at Broad Run Golf & Practice Facility, and now enters his fourth season owning and operating PMC Golf Academy at Stonewall Golf Club in Gainesville, VA. His teaching style is straight forward and works with his students to improve upon their natural abilities. In a game that has frustrated many, Patrick brings tons of positive energy during his lessons (trust us, you’ll hear him on the range). Golf is hard, but he makes it whole lot more enjoyable for everyone.
Patrick and his wife, Sara, have called Virginia home for almost a decade now.
