About Michael

With over 15 years of experience at the highest levels of the game, Michael Hopper provides world-class golf instruction at Lookout Mountain Golf Club. A Class-A PGA Member and five-time Southwest PGA Player of the Year, Michael bridges the gap between professional-grade technique and the practical needs of the everyday golfer.

Michael’s coaching philosophy is built on the same "conservative-aggressive" approach that led him to multiple PGA TOUR appearances. He specializes in helping students simplify the swing, improve course management, and develop a resilient mental game. Whether you are a beginner looking for a solid foundation or a low-handicap player seeking a competitive edge, Michael’s "target-oriented" teaching style is designed to deliver immediate results.

Areas of Expertise:

  • Performance Ball-Striking: Building a repeatable, efficient swing.
  • The Scoring Mindset: Mastering course management and mental focus.
  • Short Game Artistry: Precision around the greens to lower scores fast.

"Better golf comes from simplifying the process. I focus on building a repeatable motion and a clear mental plan so you can play with confidence instead of overthinking the technique."
