Private Lessons with Jon Murdy
I have been around golf my whole life. I started hitting multiple bags of range balls at the driving range when I was only five years old with my dad. I have played at many different levels including SDGA Jr Tour, high school golf, and professionally on the Dakotas Tour. Eventually, I came down with injuries and I knew I had to turn my love for the game of golf to teaching the game of golf. I started my career under two great mentors, Dean Zahn and the late Ted Zahn. I worked at Moccasin Creek Country Club where I ran Ladies Group Golf Lessons, The First Tee Program, PGA Junior Leagues, as well as providing many private individual and group lessons. With my time at Roncalli High School I have helped players reach their goal of winning Individual State Titles and winning a State Title in 2017.
My philosophy is to work with players from the ground up. I make sure we have a great foundation to build on while we fine-tune the basics. Every individual learns in different ways and discovering what works best is most important.
