ABOUT 

 

Golf Teaching Professional and Coach, Katrina Kelly, has been playing competitive golf her entire life. 

 

Katrina grew up playing golf in Kentucky and Illinois, on the junior golf circuits. She was a member of her high school golf team, and a member of the Division 1 Western Kentucky University Lady 'Toppers golf team, where several famous PGA and LPGA Tour players played.

 

After college, Katrina spent three years competing professionally throughout Hawaii, while working at both Ko'olau Golf Club and Oahu Country Club. Katrina has competed in hundreds of golf tournaments throughout her career.  She continues playing in  local and national events.

 

Katrina began her teaching career at Cantigny Golf Club, in Wheaton, Illinois, where she worked at the Cantigny Youth Links, focusing on youth instruction. She passed her PGA Players Ability Test in 2010 shooting back to back rounds of 76.  She then enrolled in the PGA of America program.

 

She has been fortunate to have taught alongside two Top 50 Golf Instructors in the world, as rated by Golf Digest, where she gained a strong understanding working with highly skilled and professional golfers.

​

Katrina moved  to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, from Orlando, Florida, in 2011, where she has a large following of students who range in skill level from beginner to professional players.

 

Katrina is passionate about teaching the game in a proper, science-based manner.   Her instructional methods are based on science and kinesiology in the golf swing.  She prides herself on teaching students how to play golf to their best abilities, without injury.

 

Her experience playing competitive golf, learning from Top 50  instructors, and understanding the important role of biomechanics in the game,  has helped her to refine golf instruction to be effective and also accessible for any player of any skill level.

 

                   "My teaching philosophy is to teach each and every one of my students how to make a consistent and repetitive golf swing, by getting them to learn and understand the mechanics that make up the backswing and the downswing. When you understand the coordinates that make up the backswing and the downswing, you can then feel confident that you are in control of your game, which is paramount. A swing that is built on sound fundamentals is a swing that will consistently perform for a lifetime."
