ABOUT

Jari started playing golf in Australia 1989. 1998 he totally fell in love with golf and started taking it more seriously. 2003 he found himself caddying on the European Senior Tour.


2004 Jari moved to the USA and started studying all aspects of golf. Golf had become "his life". After learning from some of the best golf teachers in the world (e.g. Bob Toski, John Mason, Myron Klement and Jim Perez) he was confident that he has something to give to his fellow golfers. Passion for teaching, being very detail orientated and (good or bad) being able to see everything are his strenghts he offers as a golf teaching professional. 2007 Jari tour-coached and caddied LPGA player Minea Blomqvist. When they started working together Minea was 134th in the money list. Only 8 months after she was in the top-30. Jari and Minea missed only one cut during the time they worked together.
