Orlando, Fla. (November 11, 2015) – Northern Virginia’s Erika Larkin, 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 November 17 and 18.
The popular daily morning show airs from 7-9 a.m. Eastern.
Larkin, owner and operator of Larkin Golf and the Larkin Golf Learning Community at Bristow Manor Golf Club in Bristow, Virginia, 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 are being invited to appear on the network’s news and instruction shows, including The Golf Fix and School of Golf; Larkin is one of the first to be so honored.
“I’m thrilled to be appearing on Morning Drive,” said Larkin, who has been selected for Golf Digest’s “Best Young Teachers in America” rankings since 2012. “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 Larkin, who was selected by her peers as the No. 1 instructor in Virginia in the most recent Golf Digest “Best in State” rankings and named the PGA of America Middle Atlantic Section Teacher of the Year in 2012. In addition, she’s twice been named U.S. Kids Golf Top 50 Teachers Honorable Mention (2012 and 2014).
As a Golf Channel Academy coach, Larkin 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.
