Joe Saia, Local Business

Joe Saia has been passionate about the game of golf ever since he was introduced to the game over 12 years ago. Joe was raised in the town of Burlington which is 20 minutes north of Boston and regularly played in junior golf tournaments in the New England area during his junior years. Along with playing in NEPGA Junior tournaments he was a member of the Burlington High School Golf Team, helping them win division titles each year he was on the team. During Joe’s junior and senior year he was voted Middlesex League All Star along with being a team captain his senior year.

Joe’s love of golf brought him to sunny Miami, Florida where he attended Johnson and Wales University, studying entrepreneurship. He was a member of the JWU North Miami Golf Team where they were ranked among the top 25 college golf teams in the country. Joe graduated Cum Laude from Johnson and Wales University in 2022 with a degree in Business Administration.

Joe has always had an interest in the golf swing and enjoyed teaching the game of golf. This interest led him to pursue a career in golf instruction and become committed to learning as much as he can about being a top instructor. Joe knew he needed to learn from the best so this led him to go work at The Jim Mclean Golf School at The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, FL. The Jim Mclean Golf School is highly regarded as one of the best golf schools in the world. During his time at the school he worked as the Lead Assistant Instructor along with successfully completing the rigorous Jim Mclean Teaching Certification. Joe was also able to shadow some of the best golf instructors in the country, including Jim Mclean himself. He has used those experiences to start his golf instruction brand called Transition Golf, which is designed to help players of all skill levels improve their games.
