In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Luke Benoit. Luke (@dr.luke.benoit.golf) is a PGA golf coach with a diverse background of experience and skills. He has worked as a college coach, university professor and researcher, professional golfer, and Director of Instruction. In 2015, Luke began work as the Director of Instruction at Interlachen Country Club in Edina, MN (one of the top-ranked courses in Minnesota). In his position, Luke oversees instructional programs and teaches members. Through the success of Luke's players, Luke has been recognized as one of the region's top golf coaches and instructors. He also started a company called Ryp Golf that offers technology and training to help golfers hit the ball farther and straighter. In a very short period of time, Ryp Golf has evolved into one of the biggest swing speed companies on the planet, which has led golfers from all around the planet to travel to work with Luke.
