Courtney Erdman

Born and raised in Southern California, Courtney picked up golf at the age of 13. She played all four years on the boys' high school golf team. Courtney qualified and played in the U.S. Women's Amateur Championship in 2001 and 2002. California State University Northridge gave her a full-ride scholarship where she played for one year before turning professional. From 2006 to 2008, Courtney competed in the LPGA Futures Tour, with her top finish coming in 2007, placing T-3 at the United States Steel Golf Classic in Hammond, Indiana. In 2008, she was a contestant on the Golf Channel's hit TV show "Big Break Ka'anapali." In 2009 and 2010, Courtney played in the Women's Canadian Tour, where her best finish was second at Seymour Country Club in Vancouver. While on tour, Courtney also pursued a career as a PGA golf instructor. She is the 2009, 2010 and 2012 Southern California Women's Section Champion. She received the 2012 Women's Player of the Year award. Courtney has had a wonderful playing career but now enjoys giving back to the game by teaching others. Having played at all levels of golf gives her a combination of playing knowledge and experience of the swing, which separates her from the common golf instructor.
