Orlando, Fla. – Brian Jacobs, one of Western New York’s most dedicated golf coaches, has joined Golf Channel Academy.
Jacobs is among the game’s foremost teachers who have come together to establish a dedicated network of instruction facilities with the active support of Golf Channel, the game’s leading global multimedia and golf entertainment source.
“I’m very excited to be among the coaches associated with the dynamic Golf Channel Academy,” said Jacobs, who is owner and Director of Instruction for Brian Jacobs Golf, located at Ridgemont Country Club in Rochester, N.Y. “This is a chance for golf coaches to work together and to better serve the golfing public. My goal is to help our clients 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 68 locations already committed, Golf Channel Academy will be inviting additional coaches to become part of the network as it continues to grow.
Jacobs, who holds a PGA of America Class A credential and a Masters in Education, has devoted more than 20 years to coaching and teaching the game of golf. In 2007 he received an award from the PGA President’s Council for Growth of the Game Participation.
Drawing from his unique experience as an accomplished player, caddie, PGA Professional and golf instructor, Jacobs brings an invaluable “inside the ropes” perspective to his teaching. His students have qualified for the U.S. Amateur, earned college scholarships, and won multiple club championships and junior titles, including the New York State Junior Amateur.
Prior to opening his own academy in Rochester, Jacobs taught at some of the finest facilities in the Greater Rochester Area, including Midvale CC, Locust Hill CC and The Country Club of Rochester. He also served as the Director of Instruction at Irondequoit CC and worked as a lead instructor for ESPN Golf Schools.
