John Sitton
John Sitton is a lifelong resident of Bremerton and began his career at Gold Mountain in 2003 as a member of the Outside Services Department. After spending two years playing golf for Olympic College, John was promoted to Assistant Professional in 2006 where he honed his teaching skills as head of Junior Golf Programming and Instruction. In 2016, John took over responsibility for the golf department at Gold Mountain as Golf Operations Manager. With nearly 20 years of experience with the game of golf and a tremendous background with Gold Mountain, John enjoys sharing his love for the game with new team members, annual pass holders, and traveling groups and leagues, making every trip to Gold Mountain an exceptional one.
Under the tutelage of Ken Kubitz and Chris Keough, John has developed a keen grasp of Club Based Swing Philosophy allowing all students to understand the golf swing through their awareness of where and what the golf club is doing during the swinging motion. This method draws attention away from their body and towards the implement that actually comes into contact with the golf ball. John’s area of expertise is short game, with emphasis on Putting and Iron play. His three goals as an instructor are:
- For all his students to understand how to make a repeatable motion with the golf club.
- Understand the difference between objective and purpose, as it relates to their golf game.
- To share the game of golf with those they care about.

Nic Thacker
My name is Nic Thacker and I’m a PGA Associate and assistant professional with a background as a collegiate athlete and several years of experience with instruction. My approach is grounded in simplicity and clarity — I use video and launch monitor data to break down the golf swing, but my goal is always to filter that information and give players only what they need to improve without feeling overwhelmed.
I focus on helping players feel what’s correct for their own swing, rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all method. I’ve worked with juniors, beginners, and experienced players alike, and I tailor each lesson to the individual’s goals, learning style, and experience level. At Gold Mountain Golf Club, I also manage merchandising and club fitting, which allows me to guide players from instruction through equipment selection and purchase to ensure they’re set up for success on every level. Please reach out to my email at nic.thacker@goldmt.com to schedule a lesson or fitting.”

Kyle Larson
If you’re ready to improve your golf game and enjoy your time on the golf course, invest in quality golf instruction with Teaching Professional, Kyle Larson.
I believe in an understanding of body sequencing, club path and club face control. Once those movements are mastered, I want my students to build a solid routine, be able to identify ball flights, develop a practice schedule and track changes.
My progression is aimed to help students attain the movements required to develop good habits and become more efficient at delivering the golf club to the ball. My objective is to identify your strengths and weaknesses and “help you help yourself ” to make your golf game more predictable from tee to green.
We offer 30-minute private lessons, 50-minute private group lessons (minimum of 3 people) and 9-hole playing lessons which are focused on course management, club selection, and routine.
