Dustin Johnson Golf School Hires Former Mrs. South Carolina America and Golf Magazine 2015 Innovator of the Year Meredith Kirk
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina (PRWEB) December 23, 2015 -- The Dustin Johnson Golf School has expanded its instructor team with the hiring of Meredith Kirk, LPGA. Kirk will serve as a Lead Instructor at the school’s TPC Myrtle Beach facility. She is set to begin her new role on January 1.
TPC Myrtle Beach is one of the 22 courses owned by Founders Group International.
Kirk brings 17 years of teaching experience with top PGA and LGPA instructors and players, and is no stranger to the Grand Strand. She is a graduate of Coastal Carolina University where she earned a B.A. in public relations. Kirk also received a B.A. in biblical counseling from Trinity Bible College. Her vast list of accomplishments include being named among America’s ‘Best Golf Teachers Under 40’ by Golf Digest, and ranking third in South Carolina by Golf Digest as one of the state’s Best Teachers.
“We are excited to attract a talented instructor like Meredith to our team,” said Allen Terrell, Director of Coaching/Managing Partner of the Dustin Johnson Golf School. “Her addition to our team gives us the best staff of instructors in South Carolina. She brings excitement, passion and a love for the game of golf, and will help us to our goal of becoming the top destination for game development in the southeast.”
In addition to her teaching experience, Kirk has also been an active advocate for growing the game of golf. She was named Golf Magazine’s 2015 Innovator of the Year for her creation of the Junior Golf Exchange, a non-profit organization that helps children under the age of 14 receive fitted golf equipment at no cost. In Kirk’s quest to bring greater awareness to Junior Golf Exchange, the organization served as her charitable platform as Kirk pursued – and won – the 2014 Mrs. South Carolina America crown. She then gained additional nationwide recognition when she was named one of the ‘Most Beautiful Women in Golf 2014-2015’ by Golf.com.
“I am honored to join the Dustin Johnson Golf School and continue my passion for teaching the game of golf,” said Kirk. “The Dustin Johnson Golf School has become one of the most recognized golf schools in the country, and I couldn’t be more proud to join their team.”
In addition to her new position at the Dustin Johnson Golf School, Kirk will continue in her role with Founders Group International as an ambassador for Myrtle Beach golf.
