The Staff
John Goodchild, PGA
I was born in Connecticut and raised in Randolph VT. I currently reside in South Burlington, VT with my wife Laura and son, Liam.
I am very excited the committee has brought me aboard as the new Head Golf Professional for the Country Club of Barre. This is a great new relationship that I am looking forward to for many years to come. I bring to the Country Club 15 plus years of golf course operation, player development and member / guest services.
My career started in 2002 as the Assistant Golf Professional for the Kwiniaska Golf Club in Shelburne VT. Three years later I was given the opportunity to work at the Williston Golf Club in Williston VT for Todd Trono, PGA (4 time player of the year) and the Murray Family. I have been there for the last eleven years and the Head Golf Professional for the last six.
I was very fortunate to mentor under Todd Trono, PGA as I worked my way through the Professional Golf Management Program, graduating and obtaining my Class A in October 2013. I am now enrolled in the PGA’s Certified Professional Program, continuing my education in General Management, Golf Course Operations and Player Development.
My goal as an instructor is to help each student reach the goal they are pursuing. Every individual has a different idea of what they want out of golf lessons, and my passion is to help each person get to a level at which they are comfortably happy and enjoy the game of golf as much as I do. Whether you are taking your first lesson or your hundredth, I want to help build a skill that lasts a lifetime.

While in Michigan he attended Michigan State University to pursue studies in landscape architecture where he became the Junior Golf Coordinator at the university’s course, Forest Akers. An athlete and artist at heart, his free time is spent coaching hockey, painting, and exploring the outdoors.
