Helping people fall in love with golf has become a real passion of Andy’s.  He really enjoys the interactions he has on a daily basis with his students; each day is different, and each person is unique.  If he can help a few people discover how great this game can be, then he has accomplished his goal!

Growth of the game initiatives:

PGA Junior League Golf- I took our PGAJL Golf program from 10 kids the previous season to 36 this year. The increase allowed us to host our own league!!

Fall Junior Team Golf- This program has been a HUGE success! I’ve been able to fill this program with 24 kids (4 teams of 6) during a time of year where it is difficult to keep programming going on the weekends due to soccer and football. It’s a combination of Drive Chip Putt, and PGA Junior League Golf. I conduct different skills contests and teams (this year is Oregon, Alabama, North Carolina, Clemson) compete head to head each week.

2-Day Women’s Golf Schools- I conducted 2 of these and had to actually recruit some other staff to help because so many ladies signed up! We incorporated everything that happens in golf- Mental, Emotional, Social, Physical, Technical. Some classroom type activities and lots of time on the golf course. Huge success.

Get Golf Ready- I conduct a Get Golf Ready School for Women Only to get them acclimated with the Facility. It’s extremely important to me that they feel comfortable knowing what to do from a facility usage standpoint during these programs.
