DAVE Fink

@davefinkgolfs

SCGA Golf Community: Tropicana Golf Club

Coach Dave Fink has blown up on social media but he doesn’t measure his success by follower count. He measures it by how much his students are enjoying the game. Whether he’s teaching from his backyard setup in East LA or shooting content on the golf course, he’s always swinging and smiling. With his straightforward and no-nonsense approach to golf instruction, Dave has quickly become a go-to resource for weekend hackers and scratch players alike.
