Michael Wyatt

Michael Wyatt has been a golf professional for seventeen years now and a Class A member of the PGA for the last twelve. He has worked at four private country clubs, one public golf course, two retail facilities, and as a college coach. He is a certified club fitter with Maltby, Titleist, Mizuno, and Ping. His main passion during his career though has been to ensure that all players have the opportunity to play no matter what their physical attributes may be. His drive to help any type of individual learn the game of golf comes from the ability to overcome two disabilities himself. The two disabilities that he overcame would be one, an essential tremor (movement tremor) that affects his hands all the time, and two he has no cartilage in the main joint of his right ankle causing limited mobility where his foot only moves up and down. With him overcoming these disabilities he thinks outside the box with each student in order to find the right approach to help his student with their game. The simplest approach is another direction he takes to ensure that his students learn the game as well.
