Mike Humphrey, PGA
President

Mike has played the game since he was 5 years old and taken lessons from many professionals through his playing career. Mike earned his PGA membership in 1998 and continues to keep that membership current. Mike’s teaching experience includes 20 years of working with students on an individual basis, a short stint working with Golf Digest assisting with schools back in 1996 and attending SWPGA teaching summits on a regular basis. His professional teaching career began under the supervision of Troon Golf and Golf Digest instructor Tim Mahoney and was fostered through the years of studying video and multiple teaching philosophies. Mike does not believe in teaching golf in any one way. He believes that the teacher student relationship is the most important factor in learning. If you like and communicate well with your teacher, you will stick with him or her, and learn. Ultimately, that relationship, assuming you have chosen a professional who knows the tendencies of the golf swing, will make you better at the game! |
| Shawn has been a member of the Dove Valley team since 2003, working his way up through the ranks up to Head Professional. Shawn began his teaching career in 1999 in Minnesota and moved to Arizona after graduating from Iowa State. Shawn was elected to the PGA in May of 2009 and is continuing his education to become a Certified Professional in Instruction. Shawn believes a swing must be tailored to an individual while keeping the motion as simple as possible. Students, as well as some teachers, become too focused on swing mechanics. The golf swing is a fluid motion of body parts working together to achieve the same goal. By using specific drills modified for each student, Shawn is able to improve shot quality and enjoyment of the game without dwelling on mechanics. By letting go of the physical control of the shot, the student may begin to trust their ability and ultimately reach their maximum potential. Shawn is certified by Titleist for club fitting for irons and woods. Shawn ended the 2009 Southwest Section PGA tournament season ranked 13th in the Section. |
