Hello everyone! My name is Bennie Griggs III, and I am the Aspirant Golfer’s Instructor! For those of you who are visiting my blog for the first time, I also have the a Facebook page named the Aspirant Golfer’s Instructor as well. I am excited to shared my knowledge of the game I love with you all. I will be creating blogs throughout the week to keep you all informed on events I will be hosting, golf tips, and opportunities to have one on one golf lessons as well as group lessons!
I would like to briefly give you all some of my background information and credentials. I am a third generation golfer! My grandfather was a great golfer who started the tradition of golfing in my family. My father was a great golfer too! My father attended Jackson State University on a golf scholarship. I learned to play golf at a young age! I will admit that I initially wanted to play golf so I could drive the golf carts! Little did I know that I would fall in love with golf! I have been playing golf every since. I attended the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) and graduated with a BS in Chemical engineering. I am currently enrolled at the University of Alabama in Birmingham (UAB), to obtain my Master of Engineering in the Management of Information and Engineering (IEM). My grandfather’s brother, my great uncle, was a golf coach for Alabama A&M University. He wanted me to attend the university to play on the golf team, but I was starting my studies in engineering. Now I’m a father of two boys, and my oldest loves golf as well. I have been teaching him, which has encouraged me to teach others. My great uncle would coach me when I would not listen to my father’s advice. He taught me some some very useful skills that anyone can practice in a yard! I am looking forward to starting this journey with you all!
