Proponent Group founder and former Golf Magazine editor, Lorin Anderson had this to say about Don’s book:

“As creator of GOLF Magazine’s Top 100 Teachers program, I have been working with the game’s best teachers for many years. Don Peterson’s “MIYAGI FOR GOLF” is certainly one of the most creative and comprehensive ideas for improving your game that I have ever seen. It takes what you already know how to do and turns it into a powerful and consistent golf swing.”

Lorin Anderson, Executive VP – The Golf Channel Academy

Don’s long list of students includes comedian Jeff Foxworthy, NFL legend Brett Favre, PGA & Champions Tour golfer Tim Simpson, and the 2004 Champion Golfer of the Year, Open winner Todd Hamilton.

Don was influential in Todd’s major championship win at Royal Troon where he beat Ernie Els in a playoff to win the British Open. After struggling on the Japan PGA Tour in 1998, Todd turned to Don to help resurrect his game. Todd and Don worked together in both 1999 and 2000. In 2003, Todd won 5 tournaments in Japan to spring board him toward his goal of playing on the American PGA Tour. Todd’s first PGA Tour win, The Honda Classic paired with his Open Championship helped him become the PGA Tour’s 2004 Rookie of the Year.

Don’s book, “Baseball Golf”, and his “Miyagi For Golf Video Series” has gained high regard and exposure on line. Don currently works with several top junior golfers in the Atlanta area and plays in local GPGA events competitively.
