(DULLES, VA) – Tiffany Faucette, Lead Instructor at 1757 Golf Academy, has been named a “Top 50 Growth of the Game Teaching Professional” by the Golf Range Association of America (GRAA) for the second consecutive year.
Awarded annually to top instructors who actively increase engagement, Faucette creates unique and welcoming learning experiences at 1757 Golf Club, which is managed by Billy Casper Golf. The GRAA also praised her for dramatically improving skills of northern Virginia golfers the past seven years at the area’s premier public practice facility.
“Helping golfers play better and, as a result, find greater enjoyment is my passion,” says Faucette, who was also named LPGA Northeast Section “Teacher of the Year.” “This honor belongs to the amazing team at 1757 Golf Club that promotes a positive atmosphere ideal for learning and laughing.”
A native of Ormond Beach, FL, Faucette began teaching in 1999, earned her LPGA Class A Membership in 2008 and became Lead Instructor at the 1757 Golf Academy in 2010. Her highly popular teaching style is influenced by an 11-year professional career, including play in the 2004 U.S. Women’s Open and 2006 LPGA Championship.
“Tiffany’s ability to translate the golf swing’s intricate movements into understandable terms is what sets her apart,” says Gary Huebner, General Manager of 1757 Golf Club. “Her classes are filled with everyone from beginners to the more advanced, and her students are finding success on the course.”
