My name is Branden Lawson, PGA, born and raised in Sacramento, California. I am not your typical golf professional. I didn’t grow up in a family that plays golf, nor did I grow up playing. In fact, it wasn’t until my 22nd birthday that I acquired my first set of golf clubs. I quickly fell in love with the game and what it stands for. It did not take long for me to realize that I wanted to surround myself around golf. I enrolled into the Golf Academy of America and graduated in 2012, where I focused my attention in golf operations and teaching the game of golf. Over the last 10+ years I have worked at various types of golf clubs in California, Utah, and now Texas where I have spent the last five years with Arlington Golf. Over the past 10+ years I have had the pleasure to work with a variety of golfers, from accomplished players to introducing the game to those that have never swung a golf club. I continue to educate myself by using the resources the PGA of America provides, shadowing top instructors in the state of Texas, as well as attending educational seminars.
Certificates: US Kids Golf, PGA ADM, PGA Modern Coach, and PGA HOPE
Teaching Philosophy:
My philosophy is simple to grasp, maintaining simplicity. Understanding that no two people are alike and focusing on pre-swing and in-swing fundamentals are essential for not only mine but for you as the student’s success. My number one goal as an instructor is for you, the student, to possess the ability self-teach. This is accomplished by identifying how you learn best, thorough communication, accompanied with effective drills that are easily repeatable. All instruction is designed to each individual goals, limitations, and experience.
