Top 50 Ladies Golf Instructors

What makes a good golf instructor? Obviously, she needs to be well-educated, experienced and insightful. The key to being a great teacher, however, is chemistry. You may think such chemistry happens only by chance or after a couple of glasses of chardonnay. But a great teacher develops a rapport with any student who come to her lesson tee. This list collected by Golf For Women Magazine will help you find a teacher in your area — or guide you to one of the golf schools where they give lessons.

Do you have a favorite ladies golf instructor who didn't make the list? Please submit her name, contact information, and what you love about her!
