Orlando, Fla. (Nov. 18, 2015) – Tim Brown, of Wyncote Golf Club in Avondale, Penn., has been named an instructor for Golf Channel Academy.

“I’m very excited to be among the coaches associated with the dynamic Golf Channel Academy,” said Brown, who is the owner operator of the Tim Brown Golf Academy at Wyncote GC. “This is a chance for golf coaches to work together, learning from one another and adopting best practices in both coaching, the business of coaching and by banding together will better serve the golfing public in help them learn to play, play better and enjoy playing golf more.”
Launched in April, Golf Channel Academy is the first network of its kind devoted to efficiently growing the business of golf instruction. With 65 locations already committed, Golf Channel Academy will be inviting additional coaches to become part of the network as it continues to grow.
Prior to starting his own academy, Brown served as the head professional at Timberlane Country Club just outside of New Orleans, and director of instruction at English Turn Golf and Country Club, the former home of the PGA Tour’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
