Dave Frantz - Retired Psychology Teacher and Lakewood Ranch High School Golf Coach
09/16/24 • 40 min
In Dave Frantz's own words...My name is Dave Frantz, and I am a full-time Teaching Professional at Heritage Harbour Golf Club in Bradenton. I am a current High School Golf Coach and a member of the Florida Athletic Coaches Association Hall of Fame, and was voted "Coach of the Year" three times. I have four decades of golf teaching and coaching experience and I guarantee I can help you reach your goals!
I have been teaching golf classes, giving clinics and running camps for over 30 years. What sets me apart is that I am a teacher in every sense of the word! Most pros have spent more time in the pro shop than they have with their students. As a (retired) professional educator, (retired) golf coach, AND a teaching professional, I can help you see, feel, and think your way to better golf - and have fun while doing it!
I am hands-on, fun, and energetic. I use the Hudl Technique video analysis, Mevo Flightscope, a wide variety of training and instruction aids, and an experienced eye to identify problems and prescribe solutions.
I really enjoy talking to my students about their games, devising a plan that is convenient, affordable, and achievable- and having fun while "working" that plan. If it isn't fun, then I'm not doing my job! Helping a player see, feel, and execute shots they have not been able to consistently produce fuels my enthusiasm. That's something I've loved since my high school (playing) days!
In this episode, Kevin Walsh and Dave Frantz discuss their Lakewood National connection and we learn about Dave's storied history of teaching AP Psychology and coaching the Lakewood Ranch Boys Golf Team. Dave is a fascinating and likable guy with lots of tidbits to share that golfers and non-golfers alike would love. Golf is like life and if you play golf, you are my friend! This episode is well worth watching and we hope you enjoy the show!
