Meet the Professional Staff
Peter Chang
Peter Chang, PGA, Head Golf Professional
I grew up in the small town of Fredon, New Jersey and fell in love with the game of golf in middle school, reading every golf book I could get my hands on from Ben Hogan’s 5 Lessons to Harvey Penick’s Little Red Book. I graduated from The American University where I played on the golf team. Upon graduating, I joined my mentor and legendary golf instructor David Glenz as an instructor at the David Glenz Golf Academy before being hired as the lead assistant at Black Oak Golf Club. I continued to advance my career and gain valuable experience as an Assistant Professional at Fairmount Country Club, where I managed the golf operations. Golf is my passion, hobby, and career all rolled into one, and I’m thrilled to share my enthusiasm for the game of golf with the members and guests of Copper Hill Country Club.
My philosophy regarding teaching the game of golf is multifaceted. I do not believe there is a ‘method’ that suits all golfers. Rather there is a set of fundamentals that will assist the student in finding their own ideal game. Thus, dependent on the student’s goals, we will formulate a plan to help you achieve said goals physically, technically, and mentally. It’s a beautiful game that should be enjoyed by all!
Jason Reed, PGA, Lead Assistant Golf Professional
Jason grew up in southern New Jersey where he excelled at many sports. He fell in love with the game of golf during his freshman year in high school, working on his game at Ramblewood CC. Jason was a natural as he quickly emerged as one of the top players in the State, earning All-State honors twice and winning the State Championship his senior year. He continued his journey competing for Greensboro College, which won the National Championship during his time there. It was at this time that Jason wanted to make the game of golf his career, continuing his education at the Golf Academy of America and earning his Class A PGA Membership. Jason’s passion for the game and considerable amount of experience in all aspects of golf operations make him a perfect addition to our team.
