ORLANDO, Fla. (July 10, 2017) – 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 on July 12 and 15.
The popular daily morning show airs from 7-9 a.m. ET on Wednesday, July 12, and from 6-8 a.m. EST on Saturday, July 15.
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 third appearance on Morning Drive.
“I’m excited for the opportunity to be on Morning Drive once again, especially right before The Open,” said Sones, a renowned putting and short-game coach. “I look forward to sharing some of my favorite links golf tips and playing lessons with the viewers 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 was also the recipient of 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.
