About the coach

I am the Director of Player Development and Managing Partner of Rick Murphy Golf Academy in Greensboro, North Carolina. The Academy has two locations (Rick Murphy Golf Academy & Practice Center & Greensboro National Golf Club). I began my golf career playing professionally for five years on a variety of pro golf tours. While playing the game for a living, I developed a passion for helping others with their game and decided to make coaching my life’s work. I believe there are a number of variations that work in the golf swing. I teach fundamental swing Laws & Principals and help my Golfer’s determine their own individual Preferences or the “finger prints” in their golf swings. I serve as a filter for the students ideas and guide them to using their most efficient pattern to play the game. I believe in teaching golfers how to play golf, and not just swing the golf club. This requires that the coach cover the following aspects of the game: Full Swing, Short Game, Putting, Fitness/ Fundamental Movements, Mental Approach, and Playing Lessons. Listed below are a few of my professional credentials and accomplishments. - PGA Class A Member - Over 10 years teaching experience, and have taught more than 8,000 golf lessons. - Directed over 50 Junior Golf Camps - US Kids Golf Certified Instructor -BodiTrak Certified Ground Forces Mechanic - Nominated Carolinas PGA Youth Player Development Award 2012, 2015, 2018 - US Kids Top 50 Honorable Mention 2018 -Nominated Carolinas PGA Player Development Award 2016, 2017, 2018 - Presented at the 2017 CPGA Fall Teaching & Coaching Summit - Played college golf at Roanoke College. - Played Professional Golf for five years - 2018 Winner, Davie County Pro Am
