Sean Burke
Director of Instruction
Why did you get into coaching golf?
“Golf has been a passion of mine since I was a young kid. Playing golf with my dad was what attracted me to the game. Coaching golf became an interest because I wanted to help golfers have fun while playing the game, like I did when I was young. My goal is to give back to the game what I was given when I was starting out. As a junior golfer I looked up to the professionals at the course and they made a huge impact on my experience and development in golf.”

After being involved at the highest professional level for a decade, I am excited to learn more about coaching and the golf swing mechanics.

Chloe Wells
Golf Instructor
Why did you get into coaching?
“I got into coaching because of my lifelong passion for golf and my desire to share the game
with others. Having played since the age of four and competing at high levels throughout my
youth and college years, I developed a deep understanding of the sport. My diverse experience
in the golf industry, combined with my PGA of Canada membership, led me to teaching, where I
discovered a love for helping players of all ages and skill levels improve. I believe my supportive
nature and dedication to growing the game make coaching a natural fit for me.”
Renee Crooks
Golf Instructor
Why did you get into coaching?
“I got into coaching because I wanted to give back to the community that taught me so much, especially after learning the game under the mentorship of Sean Burke at Piper’s Heath. For the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of working as a First Tee coach, which has allowed me to share my knowledge with a younger generation that’s curious about the game. I’m truly passionate about helping kids find their own interest in golf, but more than anything, I love seeing them just get out there and enjoy themselves. My goal is to make sure every camper feels that same spark of excitement I did, keeping things fun while they build their confidence on their swing.”
Michael Hand
Golf and Fitness Instructor
Golf has always been a constant in my life and something I’ve always loved. I saw firsthand how much better the game becomes when the body is trained properly. My background in multiple sports and strength training led me to specialize in golf fitness, helping golfers move better, swing more consistently, increase distance, and play pain-free.
Today, I combine proven training principles with TPI methodology to build stronger, more athletic golfers.
