Barry Goldstein: The Client

One of the top 50 best instructors in America. Barry is one professional who hasn’t let fame go to his head. A guy who is always smiling. When you want advice about golf, Barry is the best. He writes for many magazines, is seen on the golf channel worldwide. He teaches at Polor Cap and in Coral Springs and Timber Ridge Golf Academy.

Barry has played golf with many celebrities such as Alan Sandler, basketball legend DR J, and Tiger. Barry enjoys teaching celebrities how to master the game. Danny Kanell, quarterback with NFL Denver Broncos, prior to that the Giants, and the Atlanta Falcons quarterback, was one of Barry’s favorite teaching experiences. Their friendship went beyond the game.

As my client, I put Barry to the test by stepping off the course into a field he knew nothing about; acting. He landed a heavy speaking roll in a movie. Barry was a natural. In one of the scenes, he had to act like he didn’t know a damn thing about golf or smoking a cigar. He covered his butt by the tenth hole with his natural perfect swing. However, he truly doesn’t know one thing about cigars. As a matter of fact, he tried smoking the thing with the wrapper on. The film crew laughed and suggested perhaps Barry should step off the golf course and see what the rest of the world does for recreational activity.

Barry was impressive on-screen. Amazingly enough he has the ability to read 5 type written pages and act them out within an hour. He never once used the words, ”Say what?” He’s one of my easiest clients who rarely bitches.

Barry is a full-time dad to two daughters, Aubrey and Carly. Carly, like her dad, is makin’ moves on the golf course. At 10 years old Carly won 15th and 16th tournaments in 24 events. This 5th grader doesn’t have a problem competing against 8th and 9th graders. Carly befriended Natallie Gulbis. She actually got to putt with Natallie and Donald Trump in a pro-am. Carly has played golf with Tina Miller, who played in the past two US Opens.

Aubrey who is a year older then Carly enjoys multiple sports. She knows how to really hustle the ball – soccer, tennis and softball. I placed Aubrey in her first movie production in 2004 with a speaking roll. Both girls do well in acting.
