Stan is one of the few coaches in golf to have both played and taught at the highest levels of the sport. You might know him now as one of Golf Digest’s 50 Best Teachers (No. 11 on the 2024-2025 list) and the instructor who has worked with everyone from Sergio Garcia to Charles Barkley. But before embarking on his coaching career in 2002, Stan was a two-time All-America golfer at the University of Missouri (1982 and 1983), three-time Missouri Open champion and long-time PGA Tour player.
