John Gaulrapp

Director of Instruction at Topgolf Overland Park

About Me

John grew up in the Portland, Maine area and started playing the game at age 10. He was introduced to the game by his father, and they went on many golf vacations to places like Virginia Beach, Orlando, San Diego, and Palm Springs. At the age of 19, he got his first hole in one and it was at this point that he realized golf was the business he wanted to be in for the rest of his life.

Golf Experience

John was a member of his high school golf team and attended the Golf Academy of America in Orlando, FL to become a golf professional. Later on, he became a Master Club Fitter and became a Certified Golf Instructor through the Golfzon Leadbetter organization. He has been teaching for the last 5 years. Teaching golfers of all skill levels at the PGA Tour Superstore as well as a freelance instructor

Teaching Style

John’s teaching style is fun and informative. “I want my students to have an enjoyable experience while we work towards achieving the student’s goals.” He likes to keep the instruction concise and incorporates drills to help the student with positive progression towards learning the proper positions and motor movements.

Why John Loves Coaching

“The best part of coaching is hearing students tell me they shot their lowest round ever after struggling for so long or making the high school team brings me the most joy out of coaching.”

Off the Teeline

When John is not coaching, he likes to play golf and spend time with his wife. He also loves his Boston sports teams. Go Red Sox!
