Chip McShanks has been "perfecting" his craft for over 20 years, which he claims is just long enough to know that golf is 90% mental and the other half is math. A firm believer that every shot is a learning opportunity (especially the ones that land in the water), Chip specializes in helping golfers embrace their inner bogey. His teaching philosophy: "If you can laugh at your swing, you're already halfway to the clubhouse." Students describe his lessons as "surprisingly educational" and "definitely entertaining." Former holder of the unofficial record for Most Optimistic Tee Shot Into the Woods.
