Jay Morelli has been directing The Original Golf School™ since opening day in June 1978. More than 80,000 students have graduated from The Original Golf School under Jay's supervision.

Jay's golf career started early, when he won both the Long Island High School and New York State High School Championships. He was a medalist in the U.S. Junior Amateur Qualifier and later was awarded a golf scholarship to Florida State University. Jay is a New York PGA Section Champion and a twice winner of the Vermont PGA Pro-Pro Championship. He's also a past winner of the New England PGA Bill Strasbaugh Award.

The Original Golf School's number #1 Pro isn't just a top-rated player. He's a top rated teacher and is most proud of the fact that he was named the New England PGA Teacher of the Year in 1988, and Professional of the Year by the Vermont PGA in 2003. In the August 2000 issue of Golf Digest magazine, Jay was recognized in a special section titled "The Best Teachers in Your State" as the number one teaching professional in Vermont. Jay was also named one of the top teachers in New England by Golf Magazine.

Commenting on his most recent Vermont PGA Professional of the Year Award, Jay shares credit with his hand-picked teaching staff. "This award really goes to the great staff and team I've had the pleasure of working with."
