Don Sargent, Jr., PGA has been around the game of golf for as long as he can remember. Growing up with an avid golfer as a father, Sargent learned early on how much practice it takes to become a good player in this game. He earned a Junior Player of the Year title in Tennessee then went on to play in college until a car accident put his golf career on hold. Sargent’s connection to the game didn’t halt throughout his recovery, but instead switched directions as he learned how to teach new golfers. Between reading books about the swing and working with legendary mentors including Mike Adams and David Ledbetter, Sargent developed into a skilled golf instructor and brought his passion for the game to Scioto Country Club in 2005. Since moving to Columbus, Sargent has given more lessons than he can count and developed a variety of games from junior golfers with goals of playing at a higher level to professionals competing on a national level and all the player types in between. In addition to teaching, Sargent hasn’t stopped learning throughout his career. His passion to learn as much about the golf swing as possible helps not only his students, but his colleagues as well. He has been a key presenter at numerous events sharing his knowledge as much as he can. Sargent has been recognized by Golf Digest, Golf Magazine and PGA of America for his dedication to teaching the game. He also has been honored with the Southern Ohio PGA Teacher of the Year award in 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2013.
