Orlando, Fla. (July 30, 2015) – Charlotte’s own Dana Rader-one of the most influential and recognizable golf instructors in the country-is scheduled to appear as a guest instructor on Golf Channel’s Morning Drive August 4 and 5.
The popular daily morning show airs from 7-9 a.m. Eastern time.
Founder and owner of Dana Rader Golf School at The Ballantyne Hotel & Lodge in Charlotte, N.C., Rader recently became one of the inaugural coaches in Golf Channel Academy (GCA), a dedicated network of teaching facilities operating with the active support of Golf Channel, the game’s leading global multimedia and golf entertainment source.
Select Golf Channel Academy teachers will be invited to appear on the network’s news and instruction shows, including The Golf Fix and School of Golf; Rader is one of the first to be so honored.
“I’m thrilled to be appearing on Morning Drive, ” Rader said. “Being part of Golf Channel Academy has tremendous benefits for my students. And it’s exciting that it provides me with an opportunity to appear on some of Golf Channel’s most popular programs.”
Joining Golf Channel Academy is only the latest honor for Rader, who is one of only three women to have continuously appeared on Golf Magazine’s list of the Top 100 Teachers in America since its inception in 1996. Rader is also one of Golf Digest’s 50 Best Teachers in America, and is the current National President of the LPGA Teaching & Club Professionals Division.
As a Golf Channel Academy coach, Rader continues to teach the way she knows best. The underlying philosophy of Golf Channel Academy is that the best golf “teaching” is done through “coaching” -that is, an on-going relationship between player and teacher devoted to long-lasting improvement.
