Our Team
Giorgio LaMarca
Owner - TGA of North Central NJ
After spending the first 14 years of his career in corporate America, Giorgio LaMarca wanted to take his passion for golf and sports in general to his local community, opening a franchise with TGA of North Central NJ in 2024.
As a father of two toddler boys, Giorgio’s lightbulb moment was watching his 2.5 year old son, Vincent, swing repeatedly in his backyard in Morris County, NJ. Seeing his face light up as he improved day after day was such a proud moment, and Giorgio knew he had finally found something that combined his two passions in life: Sports and working with children.
Giorgio lives in Morris County, NJ with his wife Melissa, and two sons, Giovanni and Vincent. He looks forward to being a staple of the Northern NJ community for many years to come, introducing the sports of Golf, Tennis, and Pickleball to children of all ages, and seeing their skillset, passion, and confidence grow with each and every swing.
