About the coach
Don Peterson stands as a prominent figure in the golf industry, focusing on making the game more engaging and accessible to learners. He has originated several golf innovations, including The Golfer’s Tee Box, The Golf Grip Shim, The Golfer’s Template, and The Golf Swing Board. His literary contributions, such as "Baseball Golf," "Start Golf Now," and "Miyagi For Golf," have made significant marks in golf education. Peterson serves as the Academy Director at Iron Horse Golf Club in Milton, GA, and is the primary golf instructor at The Hotel At Avalon, where his expertise is highly regarded. His association with The Proponent Golf Group and recognition as a Top 50 Instructor in the United States by Golf Range Magazine from 2009 to 2011 underscore his profound impact in the realm of golf coaching. He has mentored notable figures, including 2004 Open Champion Todd Hamilton, comedian Jeff Foxworthy, and NFL legend Brett Favre. Currently, Peterson dedicates his efforts to advancing the skills of Georgia’s top junior golfers, striving to instill a deep-seated enthusiasm for golf in them. Over the past four years, Peterson has been at the forefront of revolutionizing online golf instruction. Utilizing "Miyagi For Golf" and Zoom, he has effectively shown students how to enhance their golf swings from the comfort of their homes. Peterson believes that online training is in its nascent stages, with vast room for improvement. He envisions enriching the at-home learning experience by integrating innovative training methods such as mastering body motions without a club, practicing swing techniques without hitting actual balls, and using larger baseball-sized practice balls. Additionally, Peterson advocates for the use of Skillest, an online platform that offers personalized coaching, as another avenue for golfers to refine their skills from home. These approaches reflect Peterson’s commitment to transforming home-based golf training, making it more dynamic and beneficial for players at all levels.
