THE COACHING TEAM Director of Golf Jonathan Yarwood has assembled a strong, progressive and passionate team. Bringing with them years of industry experience and world-class backgrounds, our coaches will develop better players, not just a better golf swing. Our team of trained and experienced coaches is committed to providing an elite golf training program. Retention and mastery is the key. Having a lesson and becoming technically more competent is merely an ‘illusion of competence’ unless it is backed up by a robust plan to retain it, transfer it and master it. Then it can be called the first step on the road to competence. Jonathan Yarwood, Director of Golf Jonathan Yarwood, a British PGA Master Professional, has a long-standing career that speaks for itself. He has trained a U.S. Open winner, two U.S. Amateur winners, two U.S. Girls’ Winners, three AJGA Players of the Year, four #1 juniors, a collegiate #1 and winners on the PGA, LPGA, European, Challenge, Asian and Australasia tours. He has been recognized for his contribution to the game by being the youngest person to be made a British PGA Master Professional, in 2011. He was also voted a ‘Top 20 Teacher under 40’ by Golf Digest as well as voted in the ‘Best Teachers in State Rankings’ for over a decade. He has trained student-athletes of 11 years of age until they ultimately reached the tour. He is proud to be a part of the world-class team at IJGA and to bring his experience to a new generation of junior players. 20 Dan Jackson Assistant Director of Golf Jonathan Yarwood Director of Golf Steven Chalmers Golf Coach Steve Di N Golf Coa
