Jim Woods, Director of Golf at the Old Course at Omni Bedford Springs Resort & Spa, is a Class “A” PGA Golf Professional with 25 years of experience. He has over 35 years of involvement in the field both professionally and personally. Throughout his career, Jim has served as Head Golf Professional at three golf courses and has operated his own golf school. He is proficient in all areas of golf instruction and has taught thousands of lessons to individuals of various ages and skill levels, including veterans in the PGA Hope Program, Special Olympic competitors, and participants in Recreation Habilitation Programs for people with disabilities.

Twice qualifying for the PGA tour event “The BC Open” in his hometown of Endicott, NY, and being a US Open medalist in a local qualifier are among his notable playing achievements.
