CLAUDE HARMON FEATURED INSTRUCTOR AT WGCA AND GCAA NATIONAL CONVENTIONS
NORMAN, Okla. – Claude Harmon, one of the game’s top teachers, will be featured instructor at the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) and Women’s Golf Coaches Association (WGCA) National Conventions December 2-5 in Las Vegas. He was ranked 12th on Golf Digest’s 2017-18 Best Teachers in America List and is a Golf Magazine Top 100 Instructor.
Beginning his eighth season as Director of Instruction at the Butch Harmon Floridian, Claude Harmon is in the vanguard of the new generation of golf teachers. He is steeped in tradition of both his grandfather, Claude Harmon, and father, Claude “Butch” Harmon Jr., who have been the dominant teachers of their generation. The Harmon family pedigree has been the perfect foundation for Claude to build his knowledge of golf instruction and apply “new school” teaching concepts in an “old school” fashion. Claude’s teaching philosophy and methods have delivered lower scores and better, more repeatable swings for seasoned tour players and amateurs of all abilities.
Harmon’s current students include major champions and world No. 1s Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson, as well as Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker. Past students include Ernie Els, Adam Scott, Darren Clarke, Trevor Immelman, and Yani Tseng. He is a regular contributor to Sky Sports Golf and the Golf Channel.
