"As our day-to-day work involves giving our students the most advanced golf instructions available today, we are very proud when our own instructors make news in the industry," says Brad Turner, director of the SDGA Orlando Campus. "In addition to teaching golf business, one of our goals is to take our students' golf skills to the next level, and we hire the very best to teach them."
