LGPA

Erin has been a Class A member of the LPGA Teaching and Club Professional Division since 1996. She has been teaching at Carnation since 1999, and has given thousands of lessons over the past eight years. She has coached a high school girls golf team, and is currently a member of a professional mini tour and a member of the LPGA Women's Senior Golf Tour. She is the founder and director of the Washington State Women's Open and through the tournament has raised over $150,000 for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

Erin's philosophy about the golf swing and the game is to keep it simple: that the swing is like any other physical move. Moves that we make every day....We make it hard by breaking it down into small parts instead of staying with the whole and making the swing be a response to what we do with the club. Her students find her philosophy easy to understand and put into practice. She is featured in Manuel de la Torre's new dvd "Understanding the Golf Swing" which illustrates Manuel's lessons of the golf swing and game. He is recognized as one of the top 100 teachers in America. The book and dvd are available through Erin. She gives private and semi-private lessons as well as group and short game clinics.

Rusty Rusty Fancher
PGA Class A Professional
206.909.9321

Rusty has been a Class A member of the PGA of America since August 1994. His previous experience includes being a golf course general manager, head professional, assistant professional and has taught over 4,000 private and group lessons.

Learning Styles: For an individual I first try to find out how best the student learns. Be it verbal, visual or physical and highlight that way of learning throughout the lesson(s). For group lessons it's more abbreviated and structured, but different styles are brought up.

Lesson Expectations: With one lesson I'll focus on one (maybe two) pre-shot thoughts and one swing thought. Also you will be given a drill(s) to do to reinforce the change. For a series of 5 lessons I give out a typed outline that recaps for you the upcoming 5-week period.

Lesson Series:

  • Level I - the 1st 4 lessons cover the full swing and hitting drills; the 5th short game.
  • Level II - 1st lesson is putting, 2nd chipping & pitching, 3rd half swing, 4th full swing, 5th uneven lies.
  • Level III - 1st lesson is sand play, 2nd full swing; 3rd-5th is on course management, which needs to be scheduled for a slow day and time plus an additional amount for green fees.
