Community Highlights: Meet Kirsten Pike of Kirsten Pike Golf Academy

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kirsten Pike. 

Hi Kirsten, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I started playing golf when I was 8 years old with my dad and two brothers and became addicted to it. I am an author for Avid Golfer Magazines instruction articles. I grew up attending the Jim McLean full-time golf academy in Fort Worth and practicing alongside Jason Day while traveling all over the country playing in the top junior tournaments, and then went on to play college golf on a scholarship. I spent numerous hours throughout the years shadowing Jim McLean, Butch Harmon, Lanny Bassham, Olympic gold medalist for the psychology side of golf, and many other top instructors in the world. Always thought I wanted to play professionally but realized I did not like being gone for extended periods of time enough and always had a passion for helping others through teaching and golf fitness. I have a degree in Kinesiology and studied TPI golf fitness as well as worked with Jeff Banaszak who has coached many PGA Tour players for fitness. I love teaching and helping others, it is my passion. I adjust to the player and do not teach a one swing fits all method; I think it is important to build a swing around the ways the student moves best. 

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
No, with any business there are always challenges 

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I specialize in golf instruction. I have helped beginners to tour players. My passion is helping golfers enjoy the game I love by shooting lower scores.
