Vincent Natale - Owner, Director of Instruction; TaylorMade Golf Elite Staff
Professional, Custom Club Fitter; Winner of the 2009 MCS Pro Invitational

A golf professional since 1996, he is the owner and Director of Instruction of Powerline Golf Academy. Vince has been playing golf for 30 years.

Born and raised in the Woodbridge area, Vince began golfing at the age of 7, and along with a multitude of other sports, has spent his lifetime involved in area athletics. After playing golf, baseball and basketball at Potomac Senior High School in Dumfries, he accepted a baseball scholarship from Shippensburg University (PA).

After college, Vince returned home to be the assistant coach for the varsity baseball team at Potomac, and served as head coach for the traveling summer team. While coaching baseball, his love for golf drove him back to the sport, he rededicated his time and effort to working on his game and began entering tournaments. His success inspired his dream to turn professional, which he did in 1996 after winning the Capitol Amateur Tournament at Marlboro CC in Maryland.  

His desire to help people, and ability to successfully coach others to improve, quickly led him to the teaching side of the golf business. Over the past 12 years, Vince proudly helped build Powerline Golf Academy into the premier teaching facility in Northern Virginia. Having given over 15,000 lessons in Prince William County, he has taught male, female and junior golfers of all abilities, from beginners to professionals. Vince has attended many PGA teaching and coaching seminars, and possesses an extensive tournament background, including winning the recent MCS Pro Invitational at Evergreen CC in Virginia. He has built a reputation as an experienced, friendly and energetic teacher and offers an abundance of skill and knowledge to his students.

John M. Guisto, III - Assistant Teaching Professional

John’s father introduced John to golf at the age of 9 and his passion for the game continued to grow throughout his life.  He played on the Cameron County High School Golf Team and began to visualize spending his career involved in the game.

Upon graduating high school, he enrolled at the Golf Academy of America in 2007.  While at the Golf Academy John took classes such as Advanced Teaching, Fundamentals of Golf, Rules of Golf, History of Golf, and Sports Psychology. John had special training teaching junior and beginner golfers. The Golf Academy of America has arrangements with youth camps and senior homes to teach group and individual lessons. This exposure to golf instruction, and the passion in which he felt to do it, is what led John to pursue a career in teaching the game of golf.  He received an Associate of Applied Business Degree in Golf Complex Operations and Management in April 2009.  After graduating in the spring of 2009, he relocated to the Northern Virginia area to share his knowledge and begin his career in the golf industry.

John’s relocation and past history of playing Montclair CC, led to meeting Vince Natale, Owner and Director of Instruction of Powerline Golf Academy. The timing couldn’t have been better … John’s experience and training with junior and beginner golfers make him the perfect addition to our staff as we strive to continue as the leader in teaching and technology in Prince William County.
