I have firsthand knowledge as to Drew’s teaching’s. I joined Highland Country Club three years ago and was introduced to Drew Chapman as the PGA professional at the club. I had taken many years off from playing golf and was looking to get back my swing.
I took my first lesson with Drew that year and learned that I was a swinger, not a hitter. At the time I didn’t know there was a difference. He quickly brought to my attention the need for a flat left wrist and tracing the plane line with the #3 pressure point.
Drew’s teaching style is one of patience and understanding. He does not try to change everything at one time. He introduces the necessary concepts at the perfect time so that as a student, you see steady improvement. He uses many different tools for demonstration. Of course he has his dowels and pictures of the best players in history at different points of the golf swing along with many others tools. He uses these resources to help reinforce the concept that is being discussed.
Drew is always teaching. He is always open to having discussions concerning the golf swing. Many times I will see Drew on the range hitting balls, working on his mechanics when he will stop what he is doing to give assistance to another member on the range. He is always sharing his knowledge. As I began to read the yellow book, this only increased the number of questions that I had concerning the golf swing. I feel that I can always ask him a question. He is very approachable and really wants each of us to become better golfers.
I want to congratulate him on this award and thank him for sharing his knowledge with me.

Thanks for sharing that Joe!!!
