ORLANDO, Fla. (July 14, 2016) – Chicago-area golf instructor Todd Sones, one of Golf Digest magazine’s 50 Best Teachers in America, is scheduled to appear as a guest instructor on Golf Channel’s Morning Drive July 19 and 20.
The popular daily morning show airs from 7-9 a.m. Eastern.
Sones, owner and operator of Todd Sones Impact Golf in Vernon Hills, Ill., is one of the inaugural coaches in Golf Channel Academy (GCA), a dedicated network of teaching facilities. Select Golf Channel Academy coaches are being invited to appear on the network’s news and instruction shows, including The Golf Fix and School of Golf; Sones is making his second appearance on Morning Drive. He also was one of several PGA Professionals to take part in National Instruction Day on Golf Channel back in early May.
“I’m excited for the opportunity to appear on Morning Drive once again,” said Sones, a renowned putting and short-game coach. “It’s been a great experience to be a part of the Golf Channel Academy network of coaches, and I look forward to sharing some of my insights on putter fitting and the short game with the golfers at home.”
Sones is the author of two books, Lights Out Putting and Saving Par. He’s also a frequent contributor to Golf Digest and Golf Magazine, and has been ranked among Golf Magazine’s Top 100 Teachers since its inception in 1996. A two-time Illinois PGA Teacher of the Year (1994, ’96), Sones has coached numerous PGA TOUR and LPGA Tour pros, including former major champions Shaun Micheel, Steve Jones and Hillary Lunke. His academy recently received an Editors’ Choice Award from the editors of Golf Digest as one of the Best Golf Schools/Academies in the nation-the only one listed in the Midwest.
As a Golf Channel Academy coach, Sones continues to teach the way he 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.
