Will Harris, PGA Pro Coach
I’ve been in love with golf from a very young age. Having been a good athlete, I played and coached many sports, but golf was always the strongest draw for me. After enjoying my time on the course for many years, I couldn’t imagine anything more rewarding than to teach others to love this game as I do.
I began by teaching at driving ranges. Seeing so many golfers move ahead in their game inspired me to take the next step and pursue my PGA certification, my highest accomplishment in golf, next to having two holes in one. Now with my Class A Professional Teaching status, I am able to reach out to so many more golf students with accountability and professionalism.
From the timid golfer who needs the confidence of a consistent swing – to the bold young power-hitter who needs to tone down for accuracy - I love the challenge. And nothing gives me more satisfaction than hearing my golfers say “You fixed my swing!”
"Golf is a very complicataed game. It is maddening yet rewarding, it is frustrating yet fun, it is individual yet social, it is the best game ever invented by man."
- Arnold Palmer
I have been teaching golf for 15 years, I teach from basics to the highest level with a focus on swing dynamics and proper movements. My goal is to provide a formula to the student by which he or she may replicate the correct movements to produce a great golf swing.
Golf is a difficult game, and it is a rare person that can play well without help. This is why I gain great solace in see students achieving higher quality in their golf games. I've be told that it's the way I simplify the movements of the body that helps students understand.
My first job is to determine how my students learn. Some are visual learners, some are listeners, some are both and some are neither. Some have many bad habits developed over time and other have only just started the game and are a bit easier. I ask a lot of questions during my lessons which lets me understand if what I'm teaching is being understood in a way that the student can relay back to me. When that happens, I know we are going to be able to have success. Let's be clear results largely depend on the dedication and effort by the student to reach success.
I am playing better golf than I ever have. I have a consistency that I never could attain until I learned to “trust my core”. My golf is at a level that I can enjoy playing with friends and colleagues without being embarrassed. The savings alone on lost balls provide a significant return on the lesson investment. Will Harris teaches with integrity…He plays just like he teaches.

As a seasoned golfer, I was repeatedly making the same missed hits throughout my round. Will assessed three basic issues in my setup and takeaway which resulted in immediate feedback and better contact in my swing. I can now more readily self diagnose swing problems when I fall back into bad habits. Working with Will in his studio has also helped me to better refine my swing on the course. I highly recommend him to help with your game!

Never too late to learn! I waited until I was 60 years old to learn this game. Coach Will’s patience with my blunders and his understanding of my limitations enabled me to move ahead and learn great technique and a swing that works for me! I can now join with friends on the course with confidence and fun. Coach Will has shown me I don’t have to be a pro to play well and love the game.
