ORLANDO, Fla. (March 7, 2017) – PGA teaching professional Scott Wickham, one of the most accomplished players and coaches in the North Florida PGA Section, is scheduled to appear as a guest instructor on Golf Channel’s Morning Drive March 8 and 9.
The popular daily morning show airs from 7-9 a.m. Eastern.
Wickham, a performance coach and general manager with the Inner Circle of Golf at Summerfield Crossings Golf Club in Riverview, Fla., 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; Wickham is making his second appearance on Morning Drive.
“It’s a tremendous honor to be on Morning Drive once again,” said Wickham, a certified golf coach and trainer with Titleist Performance Institute (TPI). “I look forward to sharing more of my favorite tips and practice strategies with the viewers at home.”
In addition to competing in North Florida Section events, Wickham also plays on the Invitational Golf Tour of America (IGTA). Where he really excels, however, is in developing fine junior players. Wickham coaches practice sessions for a number of Tampa Bay area high school teams, and has helped more than 30 juniors achieve their goal of playing collegiate golf.
As a Golf Channel Academy coach, Wickham 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.
