Michael Turnbull has been helping people learn golf since 1977--he employed traditional golf instruction methods until 2001, when he learned about the Inner Game from best-selling author, Timothy Gallwey. Michael's philosophy for Mindful Golf is based on his own experience in employing the exercises and precepts of Mindful Golf, in addition to the insights he has gained from his study of Eastern philosophy. Rather than teach his students to focus on the "right" way, Michael guides his students to learn golf naturally, "from the inside out", to become more creative and confident learners and performers.
Michael was the PGA Head Professional at Balboa Park GC in San Diego, CA and from 1988-1999, he was the PGA Head Professional and Golf Course Manager at Baker National Golf Course in Medina, MN. Michael has served as a teaching professional at Rolling Green CC in Hamel, MN, SeaCliff CC in Huntington Beach, CA, and now at Brookview GC in Golden Valley, MN and the University of Minnesota Les Bolstad GC in Falcon Heights, MN. He has also served on the Board of Directors of the Minnesota PGA and is a past president of the Midwest Golf Course Managers Association. A three-time winner of the Minnesota PGA Junior Golf Leader award, Michael also assists the Minnesota State High School League as a Rules Official.
In addition to Mindful Golf, Michael works as the Director of Golf Business for TeeMaster Corporation in Minnetonka, MN.
