The Michigan native brings a strong golf operations managerial background from a past Head Golf Professional position at Steamboat Golf Club, where he assumed the position as Director of Golf and Head Golf Professional for two years. As golf instructor, Scott's greatest asset is his passion for his students to improve their ball-striking and the ability for them to have fun doing it. When Scott feels the urge to surround himself with skilled professional golfers, he takes to the links as mentor and support for his younger brother, currently playing on several established Professional Golf Tours, most recently winning the Canadian Tour 2010 Corona Mazatlan Mexican PGA Championship and qualifying for the 2007 U.S. Open Golf Championship.

Troy Weller Assistant Golf Professional |
|
|
|
In his first season at Haymaker Golf Club, Troy Weller brings a "Practical Golf"/ "Golf Simplified philosophy to the Haymaker teaching staff. Troy was priviledged to start his teaching career with the John Jacobs' Golf Schools in Scottsdale, AZ where he spent seven years learning and growing as an Instructor. I learned early on as an instructor that "we are teaching people, not teaching golf". I believe that it is so important as an instructor to find out what goals a student has for themselves and how they learn most efficiently. After determining those variables, I go through a three-step process of diagnosis, explanation, and correction. My teaching centers around impact and how to improve our impact factors. My personal goals are simple. I embrace the challenge of improving as a player and hope to also improve as a teacher by surrounding myself around a great teaching staff here at the Haymaker Golf Course.
