believes that every golfer is different in their own ways. Once goals
are established, a plan is developed to achieve the student’s goals in a
very friendly, non-intimidating setting to promote a good learning
environment.
Brian Fennen, Assistant Professional
Brian Fennen, a PGA member, grew up and played locally at Lebanon High
School. He graduated from Eastern Kentucky University with a degree in
PGA Golf Management and Marketing. While in the program, Brian gained
valuable teaching and business experiences through various high profile
internships throughout the country. He most recently came from Kenwood
Country Club where he was an Assistant Professional.
Brian
believes without the mind, the body will never be able to hit a truly
pure golf shot, no matter the club technology. Along with instilling a
positive mindset, he believes it is his job as a golf professional to
work as an artist to create and sculpt his students' swings into their
own individual style. He believes fundamentals are important building
blocks, but there is neither a cookie cutter swing nor teaching method
for every golfer. Brian works in a low pressure, yet organized fashion
designed to help a student achieve his or her goals.
