Scott Watkins, PGA

For a little over 28 years I’ve been a PGA instructor successfully helping golfers from beginners to PGA Tour players hone their golfing skills and lower scores and I will do the same for you regardless of your playing level! I have followed in my father, Arch’s footsteps, who is enshrined in the Arizona Golf Hall of Fame and the Southwest Section of the PGA Hall of Fame.

Mission Statement: My mission is to accelerate and simplify the learning process so you will achieve lasting results as fast as is reasonably possible without compromising the integrity of any aspect of your golf game.

Some major accomplishments and awards include:

Pac 10 Player of the Year

First and Second team All American at Arizona State University

Southwest Section PGA Section Player of the Year

Southwest Section PGA Teacher of the year

Five-time nominee for Golf Magazines Top 100 Golf Instructors

Ranked 9th, 12th, 11th and 7th in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013 respectively

Arizona Open Winner

4-time Southwest Section Champion

I accomplish it through the following teaching philosophy:

1. Understand your goals and how much time you will devote to achieving them through practice and playing
2. Determine with you which sensory teaching method best enables your learning process
3. Customize and communicate instructions that are consistent with your sensory learning preference so we are in sync and can accelerate the learning curve
4. Implement a relevant lesson plan, tweak it as necessary, and achieve positive results

Your Key Towards Success: Whether you are a beginner, want a swing change, a tweak, or otherwise improve your game, the key towards success is using an experienced instructor whose teaching method is in sync with the way you learn best, be it verbally, visually, or through feel.

The Wrong Key: If the instructor’s teaching method is different from the way you learn best there will be a serious communication problem that adversely affects your learning process. For instance, if you learn best with visuals and your instructor’s method of teaching is through a sense of feel the lesson will be out of sync from the beginning.

PGA Touring Pros: Over 99% of the PGA Tour’s top players have swing coaches whose teaching methods are consistent with their sensory learning ability. This enables them to realize positive results as fast as possible because the pro and swing-coach are on the same wavelength… and results are what count.
