A fixture on Golf for Women magazine’s Top 50 Teachers list from 2000 to 2008, MacPherson is one of only 30 golf professionals to achieve Masters Certified Golf Coach status from the Certified Golf Coaches Association, a program headed by Dr. Rick Jensen designed to provide top instructors with advanced coaching tools and strategies.
