Sheri Hayes is a Class A member of the PGA and LPGA with over 20 years of golf teaching experience and has received national recognition for her golf instruction expertise by publications such as Golf Magazine, Golf for Women Magazine, and Golf Range Magazine. She has received LPGA honors of Teacher of the Year and Professional of the Year by the Western Section, and selected as an instructor for the membership at the LPGA’s National Education Programs.  As well as her accomplishments as a golf instructor, she was also a competitive player on the Futures and Group Fore Mini Tours.

Today, Sheri is still committed to her quest in learning and developing as a golf professional. Just like you, Sheri is a student of the game and continues her education with seminars, observing players, reading, research, and taking golf lessons herself.

Sheri took up the game of golf as an adult. In her early 20’s she played her first full round of golf, scoring a 144 (yes, counting every stroke). In the next three years she took golf lessons, worked on her game and reduced her handicap to a 6. She then proceeded to venture out to play golf professionally. Sheri knows the struggle and feelings of learning the game of golf as an adult, along with all the gains and rewards that this wonderful game has to offer.

“The game of golf has given me purpose and direction. It has taught me a lot about people, getting to know myself, winning and losing, honor and integrity, and potential in myself and in others. I feel privileged to be able to help others enjoy this great game of golf. They say golf mirrors life, that’s true… and so much more”    Sheri Hayes
