PGA Specialized Professional in Teaching and Coaching

Dan Lock – PGA Member Specializing in Teaching and Coaching Founder of the Lock Golf Academy, Dan Lock represents four generations of golf professionals, proudly carrying forward a family tradition that dates back to the 1930s. A proud four-time nominee for Michigan Teaching Professional of the Year (2020–2024), Dan is certified in TrackMan and ADM, proving that even after decades of golf in his DNA, he’s not above leaning on a little technology to help you crush it on the course.Dan’s passion for golf is as contagious as a perfectly struck 7-iron—he’s driven to help golfers not only improve their swings but also grow as individuals. Known for his legendary work ethic and ability to make even the most nervous student feel at ease, Dan creates a teaching environment that’s as fun as it is transformative.Having spent his early career obsessing over the golf swing (and hitting a few too many range balls himself), Dan has developed a deep well of knowledge that he’s eager to share. His teaching style is inspired by a mix of competitive golf, hockey (where he learned how to stay cool under pressure), and the wisdom passed down from three generations of golf-loving Lock family members.Dan credits much of his success to the guidance of his father, Bill Lock, and his grandfather, John H. Lock. And he continues to draw inspiration from his legendary great-grandfather, PGA Professional William Francis Lock, who was Florida’s oldest living golf pro until his passing at 94. If longevity on the greens is hereditary, Dan might just coach his students well into the 22nd century.At Lock Golf Academy, you’ll find a coach who is equal parts teacher, mentor, and maybe even stand-up comedian—because who says learning golf can’t be a little fun? Whether you’re aiming to fix your slice or dominate your weekend foursome, Dan is here to help you unlock your full potential, one swing at a time.
