Rafaul Kalamat
USGTF & CGTF Level III Member, Montreal,Canada

Recognized in Montreal, Canada, as one of the top instructors, Rafael Kalamat is acknowledged as a drill- and method-teaching professional. Rafael’s students include highly-skilled amateurs as well as professional golfers.

Having played golf for 23 years, Rafael has developed a systematic yet simple teaching method for golfers of all levels. However, it was Rafael’s passion for the game that led him to such establishments as the Professional Golf Management Program in Toronto, Royal Montreal Golf Club, Falcon Golf Club, the Golfologist Academy, and the Challenger Golf Club.

Originally, Rafael began his career in 1994, studying kinesiology and bio - mechanics for golf, and then working at Dorval Golf Club under the supervision of pro Bruce Eaves. Junior development programs such as The Royal Canadian Golfers Association’s Future Links program were the start of Rafael’s teaching journey. He soon learned his real interest was kinesiology, technique, and the assistance and benefits of technology for golf.

Understanding the business and community, and establishing a reputation for his future, was the next step. At Royal Montreal Golf Club, head professional Bob Hogarth was an influence in shaping Rafael as one of his assistant professionals while playing the professional circuit. Working as a teaching professional for three years at the Golfologist Academy and four years at The Falcon Golf Club, Rafael has
had the opportunity to use state-of-the-art technology and work alongside professionals David Hill and Martin Plante.

He is a Level III member of the USGTF and the CGTF, and is currently the director of golf at Club Cote De Liesse and the Director of Instruction at West Island Golf. He is also on the radio every Saturday morning on 800 CJAD-AM as host of “The Golf Show.”
