BOB DOUGHERTY
Golf Magazine's February 2003 "Top Teacher in the Southeast Region"
Bob
Dougherty has been teaching golf
among the rolling hills of Pinehurst & Southern Pines, North Carolina, for over thirty-five years. He's worked
alongside other top pro's like
Bob Toski of the Golf Digest
Schools and Jimmy Ballard, noted pro at the Miami-based Doral
Resort. He's also coached and played alongside such celebrated tour players as
Fuzzy Zoeller,
Jim Gallagher,
Larry Gilbert,
Jim O'Hearn,
Jim Barber,
Dave Ogrin, and
Ray Freeman.
Bob earned international recognition
as the
PGA Teacher of the Year in
1999 after being nominated in 1994, 1996 and again in 1997.
Shortly after this, he was appointed as one of the senior instructors
at the
PGA Players School.
Bob is deservingly proud of his
annual service as a volunteer coach for
Special
Olympics. In 1995, he
was named
Coach of the Year
and appointed to the
Special Olympics Sport
Development Team. In 1999, he
received an appointment as the USA Golf
Coach for the Special Olympics
World Games!
With the enormous amount of time spent on the
links, Bob still finds time to write a very popular golf column for
50 Plus Magazine. He plays on the Senior Tour and, in
2000 and 2001, his name is prominently listed in the annual
Golf Digest List of the Worlds Top 100 Teachers.
You know...there's a rumor out
there that the swing doesn't exist
that Bob Dougherty can't fix!
