Aaron Dunaye PGA-Certified Teaching Professional

With over eight years of experience as a PGA-certified teaching professional, I specialize in coaching golfers of all levels, from juniors and beginners to advanced players. My passion lies in helping individuals improve both the technical and mental aspects of their game, fostering confidence and growth on the course.

About Me: I began playing golf at the age of ten, and my love for the game has only grown over the years. While golf is my primary focus, I also enjoy other sports such as baseball, basketball, running, and swimming.

I pursued my education at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where I enrolled in the Professional Golf Management Program. During my time there, I had the privilege of learning from some of the game’s top instructors, including Butch Harmon and Stan Utley. These experiences deepened my understanding of the sport and shaped my approach to teaching.

Professionally, I gained valuable experience at two prominent teaching academies: Green to Tee in Chicago as an intern and TPC Las Vegas Teaching Academy as an instructor during my college years. In 2010, I moved to the Pacific Northwest and served as an Assistant Golf Professional at several prestigious clubs, including Olympia Golf and Country Club, Gig Harbor Country Club, and Fairwood Golf and Country Club. Since 2017, I’ve been proud to call Portland, OR, home, where I work as a dedicated Teaching Professional.

Teaching Philosophy: My teaching philosophy is centered around making golf enjoyable and accessible for players of all abilities. I emphasize on-course instruction and group classes while utilizing the data and technology available at X-Golf to enhance each student’s experience. By combining a fun atmosphere with individualized instruction, I help players improve faster and develop a deeper love for the game.
