Patty's Dad introduced her to the
game of golf at the age of eight.
She played steadily through Junior
and Amateur golf and
 qualified for
the LPGA Tour in 1976, winning five
times during the 1970s and 1980s. Patty loved
playing and competing with the likes
of LPGA Hall of Fame's Kathy
Whitworth, Donna Caponi and Nancy
Lopez. She played in the US Women's
Open in 1976, 1980, 1987 and 1990. "It was an awesome experience
traveling the world and an
opportunity of a lifetime." After
competing on the LPGA Tour, Patty
found her passion in teaching and
promoting the game of golf.
In 1983 she moved from the coast to
Sacramento and began her teaching
career.
She is a Life Member of
the LPGA Teaching and Club
Professional Membership.
Patty has an intense desire to teach
and promote the development of golf
by generating energy and excitement
to students of all ages and all
levels. Her belief and passion is to
share her knowledge with her
students so they can take pleasure
from the game of golf for a
lifetime.
Patty’s teaching
method is to keep it simple, staying
with the basic fundamentals which
enable the student to learn and
retain the information. Her
sense of humor puts her students at
ease and makes for an informative
and fun lesson.
