Southern California has long been home to a vibrant collection of creators, so it's no wonder that their influence can be felt throughout the SoCal golf scene. The Creators in Golf series celebrates this community of artists, entrepreneurs, visionaries that change the way we see and play golf, and encourages you to find your own golf community.

@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.

@jaroddeanda

SCGA Golf Community: Victoria Club

Jarod DeAnda is known in the racing world as the voice of Formula DRIFT, but when he’s not at the track, you’ll probably find him on the golf course. He sees golf not only as an opportunity to slow down and unwind, but to connect and build relationships. Golf’s expanding appeal owes a lot to people like Jarod, who continue to encourage their circle to broaden their horizons and to introduce newcomers to the game.
