I’m Jeff Riley, and I’ve been the primary golf teaching professional at Bad Dog Driving Range in East Orlando for over 25 years. I bring excitement and enthusiasm to teaching golfers of all skill levels, focusing on helping beginners and intermediates make the most of their practice time, while fine-tuning advanced players for tournament competitiveness. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Lewis Gagne, who was the low amateur at the 2017 U.S. Open under my guidance. As a former collegiate player with experience on the mini tours and having qualified for two PGA Tour events, I’m dedicated to sharing my expertise and passion for the game. Bad Dog Driving Range, located directly across from Ventura Golf Club, features an all-turf grass driving range.


I bring firsthand experience and proven success from every level of the game — from youth football to the professional ranks. I was recognized as a Youth Under Armour All-American, became a 5-star high school recruit with over 50 Division I scholarship offers, and went on to play four years at Florida State University. I continued my career with six years of professional football experience, including time with the Cincinnati Bengals and San Francisco 49ers, among other organizations. I don’t just teach drills — I teach athletes how to train, prepare, think, and compete at a high level. My experience in elite locker rooms and high-pressure environments allows me to show players exactly what coaches look for and how to separate themselves. Athletes who train with me develop stronger fundamentals, higher football IQ, better discipline, and greater confidence. I focus on building complete players — technically sound, mentally tough, and prepared for the next level. My mission is simple: give athletes the knowledge, structure, and mindset I learned firsthand so they can maximize their potential on and off the field.
