Everyone has a natural golf swing within them. If you ask a youngster to swing a bat, throw a ball, to run or kick, they don’t think about body placements or technique, they just swing, throw, run and kick…and have fun doing it! In time, we want more. More technique, more information, more technology, thinking more has to be better. But is it? The golf swing lasts a second and a half, how many things can we think and do in such a short amount of time? 

Coach Melinda wants to help golfers find their natural swing. A swing that is easy to learn, easy to repeat, and easy to practice which makes playing the game of golf more enjoyable. Melinda has been around golf and dance her entire life having a professional ballerina for a mother and a father who is a Life Member of the PGA. Although she was around golf at a young age, it did not become a passion until she played on her High School Golf Team which then continued through college, amateur competitions, and into years of teaching. Melinda has worked at many premier courses in California as well as running tournaments for the PGA Tour and was a coach at the First Tee of Monterey County. She is currently going through level one of the PGA Professional Golf Management Program and is looking forward to sharing her passion of golf with as many beginner, intermediate and advanced golfers as possible.

“Golf has impacted my life in many ways, but most important has been the life skills I gained through the game; integrity, fairness and honesty as well as sportsmanship, endurance, confidence, disappointment, and so much more. I’m excited to be working for Topgolf because it is a place that allows golfers of all levels and ability, to come together and just enjoy themselves.”
