Grow Your Game and Your Confidence
From Frustrated in the Fairway to Confident on the Course with our Proven Player Development Program
Traditional golf instruction has you practicing your swing at the driving range, in clinics or private lessons, but it doesn't get you out on the course to learn to play golf in a supportive, social setting.
That's why Evergreen Golf Academy uses the Operation 36 player development model. Our goal is to get you out on the course and help you learn to shoot 36 or better on 9 holes.
Why Join Evergreen Golf Academy
Golf is a complex, intimidating game. The sheer difficulty of mastering the swing is enough to keep many women off the course. Then, add in the mental demands...
Without a plan, you are left feeling lost and frustrated.
Statistics show that 7 out of 10 people quit before becoming a competent golfer who plays for life.
That WAS me.
Hi! I'm Tina
My golf journey started over 20 years ago. I was so excited! I signed up for a golf clinic, bought a set of clubs and the cute outfits to wear out on the course. For the next 6 weeks, I learned to hit a 7 iron at the driving range. The first time my husband took me out to play at our local par 3 course, I ping ponged the ball back and forth over the green, said "This game is stupid!" and decided that I did not have the time to dedicate to getting good.
It's not that I didn't have the time.
I didn't have the right method.
For years, I described myself as someone who hits golf balls. I didn't have the courage to get out on the course to learn to play golf. The social anxiety of playing with others and the fear of making mistakes was not my idea of fun.
But now, you'll catch me out on the green 2-3 times a week and helping other women improve their game.

What Women Say About Us
"I truly enjoyed my time with Evergreen Golf Academy. I've strengthened my putting, chipping, and swinging, and I now feel like I've received proper, foundational instruction. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to build confidence and improve their game."
Shanda
Tee It Up Participant
"After a few rounds, Tina noticed how frustrated I’d get with my chipping. With patience and a gentle touch, she offered some tips and showed me a whole new approach. The difference was remarkable. My chipping improved steadily, and now what used to be my biggest source of frustration has become one of the most consistent parts of my game — almost every chip lands exactly where I want it."
Stephanie
