Dan joins the Mike Bender Golf Academy team as our Staff Instructor. He comes to us from San Antonio where he was a highly competitive high school and college baseball player. He fell in love with golf after a shoulder injury and shortly after began playing professionally. He met Mike towards the end of his playing career and the start of his career as a teaching instructor. Dan has worked with and taken lessons from Mike for almost 20 years and considers him not only a great friend but credits him with much of his success as a teacher.
