ESPN Golf Schools - Instructors

Tina Mickelson has been a teaching professional since 1991 and has been a PGA Class "A" Member since 1994. She is currently the Ambassador for Women's Golf at the Santaluz Club in San Diego, CA. Her role includes promoting the game of golf to existing members, both experienced players as well as beginners. This is done through giving clinics, playing lessons, rules seminars, and hosting a variety of different events. The goal of the club is to grow and strengthen women's golf through making golf more available to women and by eliminating the intimidation women feel when they are new to the game. Her personal goal is to accomplish this not just at The Santaluz Club, but in the golf world as a whole.

She is currently the Ambassador for Women's Golf for Callaway. The goal of Callaway is to make the game of golf more enjoyable for women. She represents Callaway at sponsored events and clinics for women. She is working together with Callaway to help inspire women to develop their own passion for the game, and to understand the many benefits the great game of golf has to offer.

She was the author of a column that provided weekly golf tips to newspapers, periodicals, and websites world wide and was syndicated by Copley News Service. She authored this column, called "Professional Golf Tips with Tina Mickelson" from July 2000 until the syndicate closed down in June 2008.

Beginning in December, 2008 her tips will be featured on www.youreeeka.com.

She is the featured instructor for the ESPN Golf Schools for Women. She was instrumental in creating a product made with women in mind with the goal being to not only improve golf games and heighten passion for the game of golf, but to have an impact on and improve the overall well being of women. She is also an instructor for the existing ESPN Golf Schools, which are available to both men and women.

She has been seen on the Golf Channel, involved with various programs including Golf Channel Academy, Academy Live, Your Game Night, and Drive, Chip, & Putt.

Tina has worked with Dr. Deepak Chopra on his book, "Golf for Enlightenment", as one of the editors. Dr. Chopra wanted to ensure authenticity and credibility so he incorporated her expertise and knowledge of the game. They continue to work closely together to incorporate the benefits of his life teachings into the game of golf (and vice versa). She is one of the instructors for his program, Golf for Enlightenment. She also appears in his movie, "The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success", based on his best selling book (by the same name) along with Olivia Newton-John, Dave Stewart, and Bill Duke.

Her passion for teaching the game is what drives Tina to try to reach as large an audience as possible with her teaching philosophies and approach to the game. Television is a way for her to increase her audience, which provides an opportunity to help more people with their golf game. She has appeared numerous times on local news shows as their igolf experti, providing insight into various aspects of the golf industry as well as offered golf tips on a regular basis.

Tina has also been a regular on numerous national radio sports talk shows, serving as golf analyst and providing insight on a variety of aspects in the golf industry.

Tina has an unparalleled passion for the game (not surprising coming for a golf-intensive family) which has led her to new assignments as a speaker at a variety of events. In addition to specializing in womenis issues and topics such as "Using Golf as a Business Tool", she has been successful with large corporate outings and special "corporate incentive rewards days" that involve golf clinics, general group lessons, playing a round of golf with certain groups, etc. Whatever the event or topic, Tin Mickelson brings energy and expertise to every subject she covers.
