Rancho Viejo, Texas – Wendy Werley Bullock, director of sports and wellness at Rancho Viejo Resort & Country Club, has been named a Master Kids Teacher after earning her third consecutive Top 50 Kids Teachers Award from the U.S. Kids Golf Foundation.
Since 2008, U.S. Kids Golf has named Master Kids Teachers to honor instructors for their ongoing efforts in growing the game of golf among kids. These individuals have earned the distinction of Master Kids Teacher by winning the Top 50 Kids Teacher Award three or more times. Being named a Master Kids Teacher is the highest honor an instructor can receive from U.S. Kids Golf. There are 104 teachers who have received this honor, 28 of whom joined the ranks in 2014.
The U.S. Kids Golf Top 50 Kids Teachers Award annually recognizes the world’s most outstanding youth golf instructors. The class of 2014 includes golf professionals from 22 states, Canada, Costa Rica and Mexico, with recipients chosen from 533 applicants.
Applicants complete an online survey and winners are chosen based on their contributions to junior golf, such as: time devoted to teaching young golfers; innovation, creativity and fun in their programs; communication; parental involvement; and overall effort to grow the game.
“I’m honored to be recognized by an organization so dedicated to helping kids have fun learning the lifelong game of golf and encouraging family interaction that builds lasting memories,” said Werley.
A Class-A member of the LPGA, Werley also is an accomplished athlete who not only competed professionally in the U.S. and Japan in golf, but also advanced to the finals in the U.S. Olympic Tennis Trials in 1984. She also trademarked Wellness Golf, a program developed through her collaboration with Dr. Deepak Chopra, one of the world’s most foremost experts in mind body medicine.
