Bill Britton
Director of Instruction

Bill is a native of Staten Island N.Y. and was fortunate to have been mentored by Jim Albus, an outstanding club professional and 6 time winner on the Champions Tour.

As an amateur, Bill was the youngest Publinx golfer to win the Metropolitan Amateur, doing so in 1974 and 75. Also in 1975, Bill won the National Junior College Championship. Shortly after graduating from the University of Florida in 1979, he turned professional and won the Met Open.

Bill earned his PGA Tour card in 1980 and played the Tour for 15 years. During that time he won the 1989 Centel Classic and finished 2nd four times. In 1990 Bill finished in the top 10 in two major championships, finishing 7th in the Masters and 4th in the PGA Championship.

During Bill's playing career he had the opportunity to work with many of golf's best instructors, working for 8 years with Jim Mclean. Since leaving the PGA Tour in 1996, Bill has taught golf at numerous facilities, been a Co-Head Professional, and in 2005 became a Master Instructor at the Jim Mclean Golf School at Doral.

During Bill's Tour career he was elected to the PGA Tour Advisory Council 4 times. He has published instructional articles for The Met Golfer, New Jersey Golfer, and Sports Illustrated. In 2004 Bill was selected by Titelist to be one of their 11 Prominent Club Fitters in the United States and was selected by Golf Digest as one of the "Top Ten Teachers" in New Jersey.

Bill is a Class A member of the PGA of America and a lifetime member of the PGA Tour. He lives in New Jersey with his wife Isabelle and their 4 children.

Pat Jordan
Director of Golf Schools

Pat is a native of Boston, Massachusetts. She first came to New Jersey in 1979 where she taught High School and coached three sports. While preparing to go to Chiropractic School, Pat continued to play golf and work part time at a golf course. Her career choice changed and Pat went back to Massachusetts and became an apprentice in the New England PGA. After working at The Kittansett Club, a Golf Digest "Top 50" course in America, she settled at Winchester Country Club for the next five years.

An injury brought Pat back to New Jersey and into Graduate School at Rutgers University where she was an assistant coach in the Women's Golf Program. After becoming Head Coach, she guided the team to several Invitational titles over the next 4 years. Jordan left Rutgers to spend more time teaching. In 1999 Monmouth University was looking for a Head Coach to start a Division I program. Once again Jordan took over the helm and guided the Monmouth Women's Golf Team to a third place finish in the Northeast Conference Championship in their first competitive season.

In 2001, Jordan left coaching to start her own golf school, Total Golf. After six years Jordan partnered with former PGA Tour player Bill Britton, to form The Bill Britton Golf School at Twin Brook Golf Center in Tinton Falls, New Jersey. Pat has worked with players of all abilities including LPGA Tour and Mini Tour players.

Pat resides in Sea Girt with her partner and three children.
