Haney IJGA?
I have been
a golf instruction with Hank Haney IJGA for over four years.
What do you enjoy most about working
with the students at Hank Haney IJGA?
More than
just watching their improvement, I enjoy the relationships that I make with
students. Every student has a story and
they all come from different places with different backgrounds.
What is your favorite moment as a
golf instructor?
I enjoy
watching my students succeed. When a student comes off of the course after a
great round, their expression of
absolute joy and happiness is priceless.
You have had the opportunity to work
with several female students who have been awarded college scholarships such as
Stephanie Meadow (
All three
have different personalities but they all work very hard. Each one started out at a different ability
level when I started working with them but they all wanted to get better and
worked harder then their competition.
What advice do you have for an
aspiring junior golf who wants to play at the collegiate level?
- Make sure that you are getting proper
golf instruction.
- Never let anybody tell you that
you can't do it. Anything is possible if you believe in yourself!
- Most importantly, work hard and
never quit! The only thing in this game that you can control is the effort
you put in. Never walk off the
course and know that you lost because somebody worked harder than you did.
