Rudy Martinez-Rodriguez loves to teach golf. He became a USGTF Level III member in 1996 and gained his Level IV certification the following year. He resides in Puerto Rico and is currently president of the Puerto Rico Golf Teachers Federation, as well as the president of the Puerto Rico Federation of Professional Golfers.

Rudy is a member of the Department of Sports and Recreation and National Olympic Committee, and therefore is solely responsible for naming the National Olympic Golf Team to represent Puerto Rico in the upcoming Olympics in 2016 in Brazil.

One of the things that Rudy is most proud of is the creation of a disadvantaged youth program for Hispanics in central Florida. He, along with other USGTF members, provide free clinics to disadvantaged youth at Remington Golf Course in Orlando. According to Rudy, “I want the Hispanic population and kids from all over the world to learn about golf and the spirit of the game.” Rudy often uses the quote from his famous uncle, Chi Chi Rodriguez: “No man could ever stand as tall as the man that stoops to help a child.”
