Experience in the area

Wade Conway has been working in the golf industry and teaching almost as long as he has been playing. At the age of 16, he was already a scratch golfer, and traded tips and lessons with his local club professional, who was learning from Dick Harmon. By the time he was in college, it was obvious his passion for playing and understanding of the golf swing would lead him to a career in golf. He has worked along side local legend Mason Rudolph and has learned from some of the top instructors of the John Jacobs’ Golf Schools. Wade has spent his summers as Director of Instruction for Nike Golf Learning Centers at Pine Creek Golf Course in Mt. Juliet. Most recently, he served as Head Coach of the Cumberland University Golf Team in 2003-2004. The CU Team made it to the NAIA National Golf Tournament in the Spring of '05 with three Freshmen Wade recruited and Coached through their first year. He now teaches at Hermitage Golf Learning Center in Hermitage TN with students from the middle Tennessee area.
