David Park-CPGA Assistant Teaching Professional Originally from Seoul, Korea, David graduated from the University of Hanyang with a physical education degree. This degree covered topics such as sport science, sports psychology, coaching theory, training methodology, and teaching methods of sport.
David is looking forward to teaching for his 6th season here at Redwoods. Before coming to Canada David started his golf career at the Rainbow Golf School in Seoul, Korea. He then spent two years in Sydney, Australia, teaching and playing golf. Last year David joined the Canadian PGA and looks forward to helping many golfers improve their game this season at Redwoods.
David’s goal is to find as many ways as possible to make learning fun and feels that since every golfer is different, each of his students should be taught differently. His skill as a teacher comes from his understanding of several different methods, and his ability to identify the perfect method and style for each of his students.
"I think people need to be taught according to their own individual learning styles. Whatever your goal, I have a golf learning program to suit your needs.” - David Park
