Dan is one of The First Tee of Denver’s most valuable assets.  His contributions make our programs unique among junior golf programs anywhere.  As a professional club builder he has developed a loyal following that has grown consistently in his three years with Denver’s Junior Golf Program, now The First Tee of Denver.  He teaches club making to juniors in our school programs, enabling them to make their own clubs, while applying math and reading principles learned in school.  This integral part of our program is the only one of its kind.  Dan helped develop the original curriculum and has been the featured instructor of it since its inception.  He has built all of the rental clubs for Denver Golf Courses and has become an expert at fitting and customizing clubs for retail customers.  Dan has been featured on The Golf Channel and in Golf Journal for his work with kids.  His ability to bond with kids makes him extremely popular with them.  The knowledge of his craft is willingly shared with the kids and they thoroughly enjoy working with him.
