Samantha Meissner

Director of Instruction at Topgolf Charleston

About Me

Samantha was born and raised in southeast Michigan. Growing up, her first golf coach was her dad at the age of 8. She quickly became hooked on going to the driving range and practicing her swing. What started as a fun weekend activity quickly became a dedicated hobby.

Golf Experience

With over 15 years of competitive play and 7 years of teaching experience, she has helped hundreds of students find their love for the game. Samantha’s competitive collegiate career at Grand Valley State University lead her to be nationally ranked as #1 in putting and #2 in short-game statistics. At her time playing at the NCAA Division II level, Samantha was named All-GLIAC First Team and earned GLIAC All-Academic Honors. She is Titleist Performance Institute Level 1 Certified.

Teaching Style

Coaching quickly became her passion as she inspired players of all ages and skill levels to learn the game of golf. Samantha earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Science with an emphasis in Health & Fitness. Her teaching style stems from golf swing kinematics which allow her to make the proper adjustments with each unique player based on their unique ability to move throughout the swing. Samantha helps her students gain confidence in their physical and mental game by teaching them the “why” behind their swing changes. Golf is a game of confidence and mindfulness!

Why Samantha Loves Coaching

Samantha loves watching her students light up after hitting a pure shot. But she finds it most rewarding when her students have the confidence to make their own adjustments, which displays a deeper understanding of their own unique golf swing.

Off the Teeline

When she is not in the venue, Samantha enjoys spending time at the beach or going on adventures with her Bernese Mountain Dog, Lola.
