Glen Hershberger Instructor 678-494-1999

The newest addition to the Swing Factory Golf Center is teaching pro Glen Hershberger. In 1987 as a local junior golfer, Glen put his name in the record books (next to some of Georgia’s great players like Danny Yates, Larry Mize, Tim Simpson and Tommy Barnes Jr.) by winning the Atlanta Amateur Match Play Championship. Glen’s low round of 63 at Indian Hills still stands as a course record now 25 years later.

 

With the pro tours behind him, Glen found his niche as a teacher and has given more than 55,000 lessons and another 600 playing lessons. Glen takes a personal approach with each student and has an innate ability to apply proper solutions to swing errors. Glen’s dedication to his students makes him more than an instructor - he’s a coach for life.

 

 “My ultimate goal is to give my students that ‘ah ha’ moment that turns a temporary fix into a permanent swing fundamental.”
