Heath McClandon was born in New Jersey and
moved to Plano when he was 3. He began playing golf at the age of 10 among
numerous other sports (baseball, basketball, track). Heath spent his summers at
Pecan Hollow Golf Course; his parents would drop him off at 8:00am and pick him
up at 7:00pm every day. Heath decided to pursue golf full-time when he was a
sophomore and received a full scholarship to play at Southern University in
Baton Rouge, La.
Heath was a member of the team for 3 seasons
before transferring to New Mexico State University junior year. After college,
Heath pursued a career in the golf industry beginning as an assistant
professional and teaching instructor; he eventually worked his way to
Operations Manager for Century Golf/Arnold Palmer Management.
Heath has been in the industry for over 13
years, working at some of well-known and exclusive golf clubs in the country
(Las Cruces Country Club; Painted Desert Golf Club, Las Vegas; Brookhaven
Country Club; Frisco Lakes Golf Club; Preston Trail Golf Club; Cedar Crest Golf
Course).
Heath has a passion for teaching the game of
golf and works with everybody from beginners and juniors, all the way up to
advance players and those students wanting to pursue college golf
opportunities. He believes the game of golf is very similar to life - your
purpose is to get from point A to point B and try to avoid obstacles that might
hinder your progress. The game of golf is the same way; you might have an
obstacle you must get over to finish your hole and accomplish your goal. It’s
chess not checkers!
