Apply to be a GOLF Top 100 Teacher in America!

There’s nothing more important to GOLF.com and GOLF Magazine than improving our readers’ games. The mission is simple: To help you play better golf on the course and to live your best life off it.

Our Top 100 franchises are the backbone of our service journalism. From our Top 100 Courses to our state-of-the-art approach to club testing, we’re constantly striving to bring golf fans the best information about the game in an open, transparent way.

This year we update one of our oldest and most important franchises, GOLF’s Top 100 Teachers in America. This group is the engine for instruction content across GOLF’s print, digital, social and video platforms. The list remains the gold standard for teaching talent, expertise and innovation.

As part of the update process, we release a public application available to every coach in the U.S. Every submission is evaluated by a committee of current Top 100 Teachers and Hall-of-Fame members against a very strict to list of criteria. This year, we’re proud to introduce an added evidence-based layer to the application: Asking teachers to submit any formal research they may have conducted, along with before-and-after or any other content teachers can submit to best illustrate their ability.

We consult with a diverse range of experts along the way — from students to biomechanists and others — to make sure the review process leaves no stone unturned. The end result is a list that we believe highlights the best teachers in the country, brought to a wider audience to help you play you’re best.

Good luck!
