With a passion to mentor younger coaches and grow the game, in 2023 I became the Education Chair for the CPGA Mountains Chapter. Kevin served on the CPGA Teacher, Coaching and Player Development Committee from 2019-2026 and with this honor I have written articles for the Carolinas Section in 2019 and 2020. He has also produced an instructional video for the 2020 CPGA Fall Teaching Summit featuring elite level female golfers. At the 2021 CPGA Teaching Summit, he was the moderator for the Haas Family interview for the section. In 2024 I was a featured presenter at the Spring Teaching Summit for the section and continue to present for the section at the spring, fall and chapter section summits.

Please share any programming you have made to keep your customers & students engaged:
Operation 36 is integral to our junior and ladies programming at The Carolina Country Club. Since 2016, the first year he introduced Operation 36, over 1000 participants have enrolled in his semester long classes. Operation 36 is currently in more than 800 locations worldwide and has over 3000 coaches in the network. It is a long-term development program that is based on on-course work and an education curriculum. The subjects or skills include posture, power, grip, ball flight, greens reading, alignment, putting, mastery, honor, fitness, nutrition and playing. There are six levels or ranks for each of the twelve subjects. On the course, the golfers start from 25 yards and must shoot 36 or better to move to 50 yards, then to 100 yards, progressing all the way back to the adult tees. This highly effective method emphasizes the importance of scoring and learning how to get the ball in the hole.

Operation 36 juniors are in classes at least two hours every week. Kevin’s program has a theme each week and the participants compete for prizes at the end of the semester through skills competitions and knowledge-based questions on rules, etiquette, and history of the game. The kids work extremely hard for the chips so their efforts are always high. Games such as home-run derby and Discover Golf games are implemented for fun and are a great way to enhance his player's skills.

In 2015 I was certified AimPoint under Mark Sweeney. To date, I’ve instructed more than 300 students in AimPoint greens reading, including PGA, LPGA, mini-tour professionals and college teams. I’m currently one of five people in South Carolina and the only one in the Upstate certified to teach AimPoint.

At Carolina Country Club we do various inexpensive clinics for our members including putting, greens reading with intention, full swing, bunkers and wedges as well as summer junior camps.

We also conduct “PG” Performance Golf schools in which folks from around the country come see us for 2-3 days. We’ve had around 200 golfers come through our schools to date.

We host long-term advanced coaching packages for the Serious and/or Elite Players which takes range instruction to another level. These packages are designed to continually develop and challenge the player. Golfers will purchase up to 6 months of instruction, and in addition to full swing, wedge and putting assessments, the curriculum includes:

Onform video analysis
