DAWN MERCER

Level 2 Coach

Home Course: Innisbrook Resort, Palm Harbor, FL
I’m thrilled to align with visionary Erika Larkin & True Swing. I started a group clinic handing a non-golfer a sand wedge and stood 20 yards away—she hit it perfectly without instruction! It’s so rewarding to see that excitement in students’ faces. My approach: see and say what you truly desire, define shots clearly, and give your brain a picture it can understand and repeat.
