Tammy Turner-Nelson, LPGA
Southfield, MI
Rouge Park Golf Course
My teaching philosophy is simple: meet every student where they are and build from there. I focus on strong fundamentals, clear communication, and practice that actually transfers to the course. Lessons should feel encouraging, efficient, and personal, not overwhelming. I want every student to understand their swing, trust their skills under pressure, and genuinely enjoy the game. Whether you’re brand new or competitive, I coach progress over perfection and create a space where growth feels doable and success feels earned.
